shultz Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Hi all, when I noticed the new PAM005 K series offered by our dealers I almost placed my order. But then I saw that the gen 005K comes with a plain lever whereas that new 005K rep has got a roller ball? So what is correct? Do any genuine K series with roller ball exist? AFAIK the L series comes with a roller ball? Edited February 7, 2011 by shultz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I've seen 005K with rollers and the Panerai service center will install the new roller CG if a replacement is necessary. So it will be correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the genuine pam the roller ( on the CG!) is almost invisible as it is SOOOOOOOOO nicely done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the rep can be fixed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shultz Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Okay, I see. Yes, I think it will be easy to work on the rep's lever ball to make it more flush. Perhaps not perfect like the gen which is nearly invisible but better like out of of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeroshiki Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 That may explain why I've seen pix of J series 111s that look to have non-roller CGs. J series is the transitional series where the roller ball lever was 1st time introduced.. early numbers of J series does not have lever while the later numbers does.. no idea which range of serial numbers the roller ball levers were 1st introduced..

You're exactly right. I had a gen 111 in that series, number in the 400s, and I had the roller ball. At a GTG in DC, I saw an earlier J (in the 100s) with no roller ball, so it had to have happened some time after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shultz Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) So I assume that rep will be killer. Perhaps it is needing that little fix on the lever. But as soon as it is reviewed here I pull the trigger! Edited February 9, 2011 by shultz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Josh's email asked us not to, and I'm not going to risk pissing him off until after I know that watch has been shipped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
