lantis Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hi guys-- I've just received my first PAM and was little bit hesitant about it before because of the size (44mm). Now sizing it in the flesh, it actually sits nice on my 6.5" wrist. Before checking on PAMs though I was always thinking about buying a Hublot Big Bang. Any gents here with a Hublot and a PAM that can do a double wrist shot, something like this? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lantis Posted August 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 no one really has a Hublot and a PAM here? Is there no love of Hublot among PAM fans? The Ultimate BB v6 is out already and I want to buy it, if I can manage to pull it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I've asked for these before so would be happy to help you with a pic. Unfortunately, I dont have any HBBs... any other watch you want to see a Pam beside? I have a couple seiko monsters for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I dont have any HBBs... any other watch you want to see a Pam beside? I have a couple seiko monsters for example. Monsters are about 45mm right? I guess it's ok I would appreciate it! The PAMs are the biggest watch I've tried so it's my new point of reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Same size at the seiko on the left in your pic. Though as I was thinking the monster would be a bad idea for this, as the monster's bezel and crown design makes it 'wear' different to it's actual size, I remembered i do still have a HBB left. It's a quartz crappy street rep but the case is the same size as a good rep/gen Will post back a bit later with a pic for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Here you go. Thats an 005k on the left. My wrist is 6.8" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lantis Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Thanks, mate! Seems barely doable... I think. This is my bare wrist shot: if I wear it inside the sleeves I guess it's fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 No worries. IMO the pams wear much bigger than HBBs. Pam chronos even more so. If you can pull that^ off, the hbb is totally doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can pull that^ off, the hbb is totally doable. I'll order it now. I still have two watches incoming, but can't satisfy with this f*cking itch to get them all right now hahaha! Thanks again!

serious Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Lantis, remember to share wrist shot when you have your HBB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lantis Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Lantis, remember to share wrist shot when you have your HBB! Definitely! Got the qc pics today from Andrew. Maybe people with small wrists will also take a second look at HBBs if it fits nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedeemR Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Did you receive the watch yet? I'm also interested in some on-wrist pics! I have a 6.6" wrist and am considering an HBB but concerned it will look a little too big... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 6.6" wrist and am considering an HBB but concerned it will look a little too big... I have, though I didn't do some wrist shots yet. For 6.6" wrist you can pull it off, for me I can do it barely but I needed to put a new hole on the strap, otherwise there's a big gap on both sides of the strap (the watch and the clasp sandwiches your wrist, and because the strap is a little bit tough, it doesn't shape on your wrist, rather it bulges on the sides).

PPN Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Here you go. Thats an 005k on the left. My wrist is 6.8" Great comparison shot - this helps a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here's the pic, sorry it took so long Wrist shot: This is the gap, the deployant is in the end of the strap, see the space? This is with the extra hole to remove the gap First week was uncomfortable as hell, but the strap is slowly softening that I can wear it comfortably. I usually wear it when I'm dressed with long sleeved shirt and coat, otherwise I can't pull it off. I really have to dress to it to make the look, not like my PAM 026k which I can wear with anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedeemR Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Perfect, thanks a ton! Looks like it's do-able on smaller wrists with the "strap mod" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
