PAM 196 caseback question.

Hi guys,

I have a question regarding PAM 196 caseback. Not sure why the same year (G) has a different caseback.

This one from Watches 24/7 only have a 'Daylight' on it plus the date pusher is not hex

And this one from the sales post on the Paneristi has a 'Luminor' and 'Daylight' on the caseback plus the date pusher is hex.

So I am wondering why is it?

Thanks

Good pick out, never noticed that before.... cant say I am certain on the Date pusher but having looked at some 188Gs you seem to be right also the 162s seem to have a different pusher.... The 188G doesnt have the Luminor but changes on the H to Luminor Daylight...

I guess because G, as you know, was a pretty transitional period with OP that the first release had a different design and then changed during the series which was then followed through to G, H, I

At first I thought it might be a throw back to the original DL design but of course thats officially pre-DL so that CB wouldnt mention DL... unless of course some of the later ones did..;)

I think the one with the circular and those of the 188 were old 162 cases :) What do you think? And those had a few CBs made sans Luminor for initial release?

I have an old Honpo case and caseback so was doing a proper research. I found the answer on Paneristi. An early numbered G series only had "Daylight" on it. And the old Honpo cb are right on the money :thumbsupsmileyanim: as well as the date pusher is not a hex one.

So are the 162 cases and the early 196's in different cases than the later versions?

From the pics I looked at yesterday.. yes mate...

I saw 196 Gs and 188Gs with same case as a few 162Fs and to all intent and purpose the same CB sans the DL...
