drolson Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Two days ago my new Pam 187 from Mrs. King arrived (flawless transaction as always and only 10 days from China via Uk to Germany ). I realy love this watch an I think this is the best a rep watch can be. The over all quality and build of the watch is simply awesome. I´ve read "this watch is just like the gen" about a lot of models and I´m convinced that it is not true (there´s always a major difference in the overall feel and finish), but I think this watch is very close. The watch is huge, bulky and heavy (212 grams) just as i like it . Opposed to contrary reports on the fora my rubber strap is extremely soft and comfortable to wear. As stated before, the caseback is one of the best and realy gen like. The crownguard, dispite the difference to the gen, is nicely finished, with a tight and absolutely flush lever and closes the spring loaded crown very tight. The bezel is stiff and turns with a nice fat click in minute increments (60 clics). This is by far the best rep bezel i´ve seen and felt, comparable to the bezel of my gen Omega PO Chrono (it has 120 clics in contrast). The indices on the bezel are nicely polished, as are the teeth on the side of the bezel. The cristal is very nice, fat, slightly domed, has realy great AR and a light purple hue just like the gen. The dial is beautiful too, chrisp engraving, nicely set indices and a great colour. But the main thing that distinguishes this rep from others is the qualitiy of the hands. They are chrisp, highly polised, and just superb build. On my watch the date pusher works fine, but i´ve been very careful with it and avoided to screw it into the case too far. One last story about the watch before I post the pictures: I showed the watch to my 3,5 year old daughter and asked her if she liked it or not therefore if I could keep it or have to sell it (over the last years it has become a ritual with every new watch ) So she looked at I and approved it.... then she inspected the watch for a little while, turned to me and asked: Dady why didn´t they put a glass in there..... (I swear this is true) Ok here are the Pics: The hands: Caseback: Strap and buckle: Different setting: Crown: Size comparison: Pam 187 Super Avenger IWC Big Pilot Pam 112 Height: Lume (week as the gen ) : AR (gen on the right): Me preparing this thread: Hope you enjoyed it, Drolson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www_watch Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 It looks pretty small compared to the Super Avenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolson Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 It looks pretty small compared to the Super Avenger. Well I wouldn´t call this watch small... but it is a little smaller than the Super Avenger. The diameter is 47mm in contrast to 48,8 mm. Especialy the lugs are shorter and thinner. Height and weight are very similar. Drolson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www_watch Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I know... it's definitely not SMALL. I have a SA too and after seeing those pics I'm even more interested in one of those 187's. I thought it would wear much bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolson Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 If you can wear a Super Avenger you can definetely wear the 187. I´d say if you are interested in big diving watches you have to go for the new Pam 187. It´s simply the best of my reps and I´m sure it won´t get any better than this.

Dario33 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Any issue yet with the hour markers as called out in this thread? Also, anyone know if it's confirmed there's a fix in the works for the date pusher problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolson Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Thanks guys for the kind words. I´m still enjoying the watch. Have been wearing it for one week now and it still blows me away. Please, the price. 465$ shipped. Any issue yet with the hour markers as called out in this thread? Also, anyone know if it's confirmed there's a fix in the works for the date pusher problem? No there´s no sign of changing colours yet, but we´ll see. Someone posted pics about securing the pusher with a screw from the inside of the case, it must be somewhere here. Just search the threads of last week.
