Lobster Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hi All, I just received my QC pics for my 177M. I sat on the fence for a while but I always wanted a Ti Pam so I thought why the heck not. I know some feel that it's insane to pay extra for this watch, but I feel that the extra 100 bucks or so for a gen croc is not too bad. Let the pics do the talking I don't find anything too annoying in terms of inaccuracy on this piece. The strap is gorgeous, no? I have heard people complain about the CG Lever pin being a little too pointy. Seems like mine is ok, but I have found this gen pic as well which does not have a smooth lever pin (that's what it's called right) either. And just a shot of the Gen back. The movement on mine has a different shock absorber and of course we know about the dagger. But again the strap look awesome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Oh and the gen looks darker, but that may be the lighting or model year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Ti does darken between cleanings. Also ... the gen CG lever is slightly recessed into the CG ... I think sometimes people's expectations of a Gen watch is pure fantasy. Then they compare their fantasy against the rep they buy, and are not happy.

ebzen02 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 The strap is amazing! I think folks are overblowing the tiny little things. You cannot say this is a rep on the wrist it is that amazing! Also, the CG on these rival most gens I have seen (in pictures;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumroxas Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 beautiful watch man...strap does looks awesome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I agree guys, this recent rep Pam revolution is awesome, but what I think really gave this revolution it's super spark is the pricing which is very consumer friendly. I have never heard of people putting themselves on waiting lists with our dealers just get specific Pam models. Great great move! The strap btw is the standard "new" croc strap that the dealers are offering for the 177M. I suppose you can order those perhaps even separately or request a dealer to send one out to you with a Pam purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Looks good to me, I've got the 177L and love it. Just watch the stem and crown when winding, mine snapped so be gentle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeSentier Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 No PAM guy, but from what I can see from your pics it looks very nice, and the strap seems to be a good choice. Would like to hear your comment when you have it in your hands. Best, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Cheers ADZ and Joerg, I will certainly be gentle with her when winding and hopefully I will get it this week so that I can write a quick review of it on the weekend.

pabler Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 The problem I find with this factory straps is that you can´t order one at a specific size...... It´s always 115/75 and shut up! Love the texture on this one L! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Lol you're right bro, would be nice if we could have some input on the strap size. Fortunately so far, all straps from the rep factories have fit me like a glove but if they are going to invest into proper quality straps, they ought to have more options. I mean they can have this as a side business. $100 here and there for good quality croc rep Pam straps is pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
