yellomen Posted December 19, 2007 Report Posted December 19, 2007 Just checked andrew's and joshua's websites and the PAM252 has been upgraded... but now they changed the blue dial for a black dial :mad: How come they can make such great things and mess up so at such obvious things
Watchwatcher Posted December 19, 2007 Report Posted December 19, 2007 if the dial layout is correct, changing it to blue from black should not be a huge problem for the factories. i'd bet you see the blue dial very soon. angus had been following the development of this one closely, so he may one of the first to carry the correct color as well.
chubbchubb Posted December 19, 2007 Report Posted December 19, 2007 This watch is very high on my list and everytime I was close to pulling the trigger, another fine piece crossed my way. Still, there is no doubt, I'll get one in the not too distant future. As for the color of the dial, I would be careful. Firstly, dialcolor was a big issue (if you've read the whole post). Second, if you do some research for gen 252, you will see that the color very much depends on the lighting. I can show you several gen pix (Paneristi etc) where the dial looks more on the black side while others look blue. It might just be the light on Josh's and Andrew's website. Does anyone own the upgraded version an can share some first-hand pictures? To see my point:
deltatahoe Posted December 19, 2007 Report Posted December 19, 2007 i've just emailed angus to find out about the status of this watch; i'll post here when i hear back from him.... deltatahoe
yellomen Posted December 19, 2007 Report Posted December 19, 2007 .... It might just be the light on Josh's and Andrew's website. I wish you where right but both dealer sites state that it has a matte black dial Keep us posted Deltatahoe
Blackwind Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 I wish you where right but both dealer sites state that it has a matte black dial Keep us posted Deltatahoe What precisely are Josh and Andrews URL for their sites?
deltatahoe Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 so i heard back from angus a couple days ago about this piece; unfortunately the news is not good.....here's his response to my inquiry: ---------------- This watch project was created by the HBB maker, but the SSD maker dominates the A7750 GMT movement so the HBB maker cannot continue this project. ---------------- so it looks like they can't continue this project because the maker of this watch can't source the movements maybe it will be resurrected at some point in time.... deltatahoe
yellomen Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Darn!!!!! I really regret reading this Deltatahoe. Maybe we can indeed persuade them to keep the idea alive as it IS a great watch and among all those Panerai this would be a good seller i assume. Right... let's post here at least once a week to keep the idea alive .... it works in Bagdad... oeps... tasteless humor.
t Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 seems like a never ending story i still waiting
chubbchubb Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 That's bad news indeed. As I said before, this would be a definite buy for me.
yellomen Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 Again... a PAM252 bump. Let's hope they will make it perfect with a BLUE dial this time
chubbchubb Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 Ok, another friendly bump from me.... :thumbsup:
yellomen Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 PS. could someone who knows tell me how accurate the PAM186 Arktos is? Maybe ... if they don't produce a decent blue dial PAM252 i could buy that one...
i5475p Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Anybody know if either of these models are available right now ? Andrew said he was out of stock . I really like the 186 (arktos) but the 252 is nice as well. I'd take either just like they are at this point I think. Are Andrew and Josh the only ones with these 2 at this quality?
deltatahoe Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 just to clarify the 252 project (enclosed in this thread) has been abandonded at this time (read up above where i provided an update from angus)... deltatahoe
yellomen Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 just to clarify the 252 project (enclosed in this thread) has been abandonded at this time (read up above where i provided an update from angus)... deltatahoe I know Deltatahoe... but i'm not giving up Maybe i'll reach more than 1,000 posts in this thread... as long as it will sometime be picked up again to finish.
deltatahoe Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 @yellowmen, i was more directing my post to i5475p, who was asking if "either of these models [pam 252 & 186] were available". i'm all for trying to push for this project to eventually happen (chalk up another post for me in that cause) however, if it turns out to be as good as it looks, the pam 229 might just satisfy my blue-dial pam needs for the moment deltatahoe
