PeteM Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Thanks Lani I do like that watch but just when I thought I was learning about PAM designations I am back to my original confusion. This is designated a PAM 203 is it? My understanding was a PAM 203A was a PVD 44mm Prev Luminor Marina but the suffix A only related to year. Does this form of designation mean something different here and if so is there an idiots guide to this somewhere? Just when I thought I had it!!! If this is the case why would Panerai designate it in this way when normally its just a straight forward number designation For 138USD its a great rep watch.

dluddy Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 There is the PAM 203 which was a small release with an Angelus 8-Day movement and is now selling north of $150K of which Lani's is a replica - genuine is a Tobacco brown dial, though. and the PAM 5218-203/A (Pre-Vendome) which is a Pre-V Marina Dial in a PVD 44MM case.

Thanks Don, So does this happen often with the model range? With the PVD model is A still referencing year? And sorry but lastly what does the four digit number before 203/A signify? Is it just model? or case movement etc. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Here is the 203A dial that DL is referring to.. from FGD.. one of the parts for my 5218-203A PreV project..

Whatever123 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Got one of those, too - but the brown dial version. Although it is of course far from being close to the gen, especially the movement, I really like it. And I think the brown BOB strap fits it quite well.

Whatever123 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 By the way... encouraged by RWG I tried the hot glue fix on this one today, together with a bit of CG modding. I'm quite satisfied with the result - I think it's definitely better than before. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Well done mate, you must be pleased with your efforts. I cant tell from the other pics I have seen but yours seems to have a recess in the case to recieve the CG if so is this accurate to gen. Great job compared with your previous pics. Where will your modding go from here ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
