Another review of the PAM 026K

[swdivad]

I know there are reviews on this already, but thought to write one too, as this watch just deserves it in every way

As in the title, all I can really say is that the new PAM 026K is a simply awesome rep... nothing extra to do with this, it's perfect out of th box... I hope these guys keep going down this road.

I got it with the black leather strap, which was nice, but replaced it with a CF strap so I could play in the water with it

Some points:

DLC is even and beautiful

All around finish is great

Crystal/AR is perfect, it just about disappears at some angles, really complimenting the dial details

CG and lever are great, smooth operation and snaps in as good as gen

Dial finish is spot on, fonts may be off under a loupe, but jeez LOL

Lume is amazing

High CP :-)

Waterproof too!!!!

I may be wrong, but it sounds like a high beat movement

I believe this is by far the best Luminor out of the box, I feel great with it on my wrist!

Here's some shots:

Thank you for the review. It is getting harder and harder to resist...

Sorry for the dust and gunk in some of the pics guys... it's hard to make it completely clean with macro shots... I can assure you that this is a beautiful piece when looking at it with the naked eye, even closely... Best rep out of the box IMO

Thanks for the write up and pics. How did you check if it's waterproof?

No waterproof test?

I wouldn´t risk my new Pam......

Great review and that really is a superb looking watch.

That DLC sure looks sweet! Best bang for your buck considering how much it cost to DLC a watch!

[coolfire]

These come waterproof from the Joshua... I just double checked it

Nice one D, looks great from every angle. Strap looks great, dish the source?

[OiRogers]

Beautiful! How is the crown distance from the case? better than the 177/005?

My order of this watch is hinging on this matter.... Hoping to hear something positive.

even waterproof..alamak~

[Nebakanezzar]

is it just a trick of light, or is the DLC finish on the inside edges of the CG spotty?

[ATEspo]

Looks amazing on the black carbon.

Panatime.com has some very nice carbon straps, i've had a bunch of them.

[Shortagear]

Wow, looks like they finaly got the PVD finish right. Any AR on the crystal?

[Eton]

Thanks for the review! Great shots too!

I apologize for the dumb question but where did you buy the watch. Do you know which movement it has? Very nice pics. Thanks.

Welcome to the Forums. More than likely any of the trusted dealers in this Community can source this piece for you. Simply see the area for dealers, and go to one of their web sites. I bet you will have a choice between generic china, SeaGull, and swiss ETA movements.

nice cf strap where did you get it from?

I got the CF strap from Don... It's really quite good AND cheap, and uses the same materials as OEM

You can find him here:

I've got so much good to say about this watch... just gotta keep going.

I spent the holiday swimming, diving and snorkeling with this 026 without a single glimmer of leakage.

Great watch, great build... definitely a keeper :thumbsupsmileyanim:

If you guys can get any of these special build watches as they come out, they're well worth every penny!

Josh & Andrew are the best out there by a long shot IMO!

Kepp up the great work guys

[stolikat]

I must have this watch!!
