cleobis Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hi, I'm looking into buying a pam....I've been wanting to get one for a long time and now it's that time. I've been looking around a lot and reading everything I can but can't make a final decision.... lool.... Do you guys have any favorite or advice? These are the three "finalists" : Pam 111M http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_49&products_id=8149 Pam 318 http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=352&products_id=8871 Pam 005M http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=352&products_id=8148 I love all three and they all look very good...I would like to know what do you think about qual and fidelity...I'm sure any one of them is a good choice but, which do you think is the allround winner? Thks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 All three are among the best out-of-the box PAMS we've seen so it becomes personal preference. I'd go with the 005M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfovco Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I would get 005. I would not get 111 where you can see the movement. This 005 looks like the best Pam rep to get today period as far as accuracy and finish go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Stop dithering around and pull the trigger on the one you most like. Why worry what we like we are not going to be wearing it. The 318 and 005 are basically the same and the 111 is a sandwich dial. If you are anything like the rest of us you'll have both before too long. There are enough reviews about that say what fantastic watches these are. Stop with the procrastination pick a number and go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lfovco Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) In addition, this is totally my personal preference but I think that the classic dial in 005 is way cooler then sandwich dials. I have a 111 that's about 7 years old now with the classic dial and I have Black Seal with sandwich dial. I think sandwich dials look weak. Again this totally my personal view, others may think different. Plus the look and finish of the movements is still far from gen, you can easily tell rep movement. If you get a watch with closed back you don't have to ever think about it. Also the shape of the tip of the crown guard lever is incorrect in that 111, at least in the pics on the site, it looks better in his QA pics, must be better run. In 005 although not perfect it is slightly better and closer to the gen. And that sticks out really a lot to my eye. Hope that helps you.
