collector26 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 I have had my new 251K for about 10 days now and I need to tell you how happy I am with this watch. 1st I have not set it since I got it 10 days ago and it may have lost 30 seconds off my iphone. I also put it in the box Thursday night and Saturday morning she was still ticking so I know she has at least a 36 hour PR. Ive taken some pics and changed some straps and everything works as it should. The other thing I am impressed with is the case and case-back. With the exception of the boldness and size of some fonts this case back is very accurate. I also noticed the case cutout between the lugs is true to the 251k series, the brush work is very well done and I believe the hex quick date pusher is accurate as well but the experts can correct me if I am wrong. I cant imagine what these factories will be creating a few years from now. Gen Case back My case back A few more quick pics
redwatch Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Some great pics there! I am really impressed with the overall case finish. It looks quite good!!
Drulee Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Yes hex push button date changer shape is correct. Very surprised that they actually got that right.
PeteM Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Yes hex push button date changer shape is correct. Very surprised that they actually got that right. Yes but thats not such a surprise when you consider it was.... Made with 3 Genuine watches... The Pam 196, 236 and 251 fully dissected for Caseset Construction and Dial Colour Matching !!

Watchmeister Posted October 24, 2010 Report Posted October 24, 2010 Yes hex push button date changer shape is correct. Very surprised that they actually got that right. I was wondering about that. I initially thought the original rounded date change pusher on the V1 cases looks better - at least on the older models. That hexagonal piece appears to be less prevalent on the gen 162, 188 and 196. But of course I may be off the mark as all our pics are at 20x or whatever. The overall case looks great. The manufacturer has really stepped up their brushing. Here is a pic of a V1 rep case and gen one. What do you think?
