AmStaFF Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 Have you seen the Pam193 on Josh Site? what do you think?
BGGodwin Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 Meh... there are others I like a lot more! I'd take a 024 over that any day!
cougaree Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 What are the 0-120 markers for? What about the crown thing on the left? Helium escape?
Snrubb Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 More pics... I am going to get one...For $168, why not? And yes, I will freeze the GMT hand.
AmStaFF Posted April 10, 2011 Author Report Posted April 10, 2011 looks not bad for the money, damn i have 4 watches incoming, i have to wait
prdubis Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 It's a depth gauge...I've tried it at my AD before buying the 305, it's definitely a tool watch and the dial is funny. But the gen is really ovepriced! Looks like a 21j movement inside the rep, right?
BGGodwin Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 And yes, I will freeze the GMT hand. What do you mean? Keep it in one place all the time?
Snrubb Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Yup. I'll set it to the off position on the depth gauge versus having it as a gmt hand. Edited April 10, 2011 by Snrubb
PeteM Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 Its a lovely watch for sure.... and though the rep is totally off the gen for $168 and the fact no one will know what you are wearing means its a decent buy.... Look forward to the wristies
Dave123 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 Stevie says he applied those lume dots himself....
PeteM Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 Stevie says you should see those lume dots.... Mate.... That pearl would be a Stevie spotter before those lume markers....!!!
StormTooper4 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 Like what Pete said. Its a beast of a watch and I lusted for one since it was on the cover of some mag a few years back I'm to puny wristed to pull it off, which is a shame , a top value job despite its faults. Wear it well.
frankpower88 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 Stevie says he applied those lume dots himself.... yeah like he did with the skylands and SOHs
Polynomial Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 193 should have titanium case, this rep must weight a lot...
OiRogers Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 193 should have titanium case, this rep must weight a lot... For some reason, I thought the bezel was Ti and the case was brushed steel on the gen. Could be wrong though. Looks like a decent rep, but far to inaccurate with today's fairly high Pam standards... I'm still waiting patiently for a A7753 based 187.

I bought from Josh a PAM187 47mm which was my favorite watch. (the tuna watch is ugly in front of the 187). Too unfortunate that my cleaning maid stole it from me last year and now it is out of production. Someone said here that a newer version is coming out? R.I.P. PAM187 Uploaded with ImageShack.us

PAM187 Rumor mill has it that an updated 187 is in the works with the A7753 movement, which would solve the sunken date wheel issue. I'm curious how much the case will have to be reworked to get the date pusher functional. Check Angus's site... he has the 187 listed under Auto Chronos. Don't know if he has stock though... it is the old (i.e. current) version.
wengsy Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Not bad for the price. The case is more accurate for 307 because of the quick strap change design.

Other way around actually, case and caseback are TI and bezel is brushed SS.
OiRogers Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Other way around actually, case and caseback are TI and bezel is brushed SS. Ah, that would certainly make more sense... Would age nicely as well.
TK471 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Those dots are bad news. Case is pretty nice. Interesting choice IMO.
