lala Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 always been hesitant to get a pam with a date wheel and cyclops hard to fix the issues on these 2 areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'm not grooving on those green indices. I think the gen does have a greenish tinge, but not that strong. PAM experts.... what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panermaniac Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 LOVE LOVE LOVE that case! Not sure about the indices though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 I just don't understand what the issue with movement is? I know the gen has 2893/2 but what's wrong with the standard movement? Why stress about something you can't see. Seems a strange criteria if it prevents you from having what looks to be a great watch. Seems a bit cutting nose off despite face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I think the main reason is the fact you cant adjust the GMT hand as per the gen... But other than that mate you are right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I think the main reason is the fact you cant adjust the GMT hand as per the gen... But other than that mate you are right So Pete in what way is it not like the Gen? Forgive my ignorance but its not like the CHS rolex GMT's , I've had a A21J versions of GMT's and even they were ok , Date changes if you move Crown anti-clockwise & moves GMT hand if you move it clockwise.. is it the GMT hand moving rather than the hour hand ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebzen02 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Hopefully they tone down the green indices and fix the 9! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Hi ST On the gen the GMT or correct 2893 hand can be moved by turning crown upwards in first setting (Date setting) the hand clicks round on the GMT hour points (minute markers) this rep just moves around like the hour hand... its a faux setting for the GMT hand ... so to speak.. Ebzen - A lot of guys with the gen are saying this lume is accurate for this rep....both uncharged and charged.... I agree it looks off to me too... but these guys are knowedgeable and reliable so I take their word for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchguy2 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 If you check the video on PT's site you can see that the lume is actually spot on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgenk Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Owning a number of 2836 with GMT modification I can say that the GMT hand jumps in hourly increments. I will say that this has also failed requiring repair and that the jump was noticeably less crisp when having issues. The watchmakers aren't fond of 2836 GMT reliability and this makes sense from my experience. 2893 GMTs are rock solid and should be able to fit this case, but I don't know if hands will...

ebzen02 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Perhaps, I just don't like the green markers, gen or rep... .. But, the 9 is still off..just saying..Anyhooo... I like the tritium look of the 29a best-- but that is besides the point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I think it looks amazing, Hope to have some spare cash for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
