bobey Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Hello all, I have been on the fence for quite some time now, looking for a white-dial-mechanical-chrono-watch. So far I have come across PAM188 and PAM251. Both do look okay, even though I prefer the dial of the 188. I wonder why they removed the numbers... I really have no clue what the difference between these two are though. Like all the once below, are there any noticable differences? PAM188 puretimewatch.com/product/pam188h-daylight-a7753-ultimate-edition/ puretimewatch.com/product/pam188h-daylight-a7753-ultimate-edition-on-ss-bracelet/ puretimewatch.com/product/new-arrival-pam188h-daylight-a7753-ultimate-edition-on-ss-bracelet/ 1-pc8838.com/pn18802-188h-daylight-chrono-ssss-white-asian-7753-p-9200.html 1-pc8838.com/pn18801-188h-daylight-chrono-ssle-white-asian-7753-p-9173.html PAM251 puretimewatch.com/product/new-arrival-pam251k-daylight-a7753-ultimate-edition-on-new-style-bracelet/ puretimewatch.com/product/pam251-k-daylight-a7753-ultimate-edition/ puretimewatch.com/product/pam251k-daylight-a7753-ultimate-edition-/ puretimewatch.com/product/pam251k-daylight-a7753-ultimate-edition-ss-white-dial-ss-bracelet/ puretimewatch.com/product/pam251k-daylight-a7753-ultimate-edition-on-new-style-bracelet/ 1-pc8838.com/pn25102-251k-daylight-chrono-ssss-white-asian-7753-p-9175.html 1-pc8838.com/pn25101-251k-daylight-chrono-ssle-white-asian-7753-p-9180.html Onlything I can see is that they came out at different times, and the the different dial. I can't seem to find out what factory these are from either... Like what is the biggest difference compared ot the new noob 111M and 187? What concerns me is that the luminor chrono might wear big. Are there other watches out that is a bit 'smaller'? There is also the concern about how much work do I need to put into it (modding). In time I do want to possibly make a franken out of it, with first step beeing the movement. But before any mods are done, how close is it to the original? Like the date wheel and font, if it is too sunken or not (see the a7750 common issue) etc. Does it also survive light rain? And can this be modded, if not? The bezel on these models, are they prone to easily get scratched? And the last question is if either noob or h, are planning to launch any white-dial-mechanical-chrono-watches in the near future?

Bike Mike Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 There is a fully modded 188 in the FS Section now. I know the guy who built it! As close to Gen as you are going to get, with a Swiss 7753, same movement the gens use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it doesn't really answer any of the questions I originally posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobey Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) For anyone wondering, Joshua was so kind to point out that both where from Noob Factory. There is a fully modded 188 in the FS Section now. I know the guy who built it! As close to Gen as you are going to get, with a Swiss 7753, same movement the gens use! Finally found the piece you were talking about And it really is a piece of art But I am eu based Edited August 31, 2011 by bobey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
