swdivad Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 I really like the clean look and the tobacco dial of the 390... Has anyone got this yet? I'm not seeing any topics yet. I think I'd be buying this soon if there are no glaring issues.
mikellem Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Hi David, I posted quire a few of Andrew pics blown up! Rhine watch looks very promising and mine is on the way! I will review the watch when I receive it! Thanks, Mm
sul Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 After CP mod and sec stem removal mod it is good rep, but for me dial and watch totality is "too empty, simple" , don´t see why I have to buy it. This model will not" talk" with me unfortunetaly...
chefcook Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Already ordered. I've been waiting for this since the genuine 390 was released. Even the Pre-V hands on the rep are correct. That is so cool
its_urabus Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 I love it, but as I am a pam noob, let me ask the experts. The part of the crown lever, the triangular part that contacts the crown, seems to be a different shape then the gen. I noticed this on the 029M that I have on route, as well as a few other of the new pieces. Am I crazy or do others see this as well. thanks for posting!
wguy Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 The H and N factories have come out with some great PAM reps lately (005, 029), however one of their" long-time" (no pun intended) weak points has been the accuracy of the dial color when the color is anything but black. I will be interested to hear what our members have to say about the dial color once they receive the watch. Also,will the N factory come out with their version of the PAM 390? This watch will probably be a big seller IMHO. wguy

atomic_doug Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) The canon pinion on gen PAMs is flattened and polished. Fresh out of the box, a movement's canon pinion is ever-so-slightly pointy. It's a small thing, but it can be a glaring giveaway if you know to look for it. Pulling the movement then the CP is trivial. I don't know why the factories don't do it themselves, but, hey, what're ya gonna do? Edited January 15, 2012 by atomic_doug
thogaa Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 This one is simply making all the right noises. Ordered one and still not sure that's enough
relaxman Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Simply gorgeous !!! On this one I don't care how accurate it is, just one good looking watch..

Nope, you're not crazy... on the wrist that area isn't as noticeable as being wider than the gen. In the OP, the watch on the right is gen and you can see that the area you're referring to is noticeably slimmer.
dutchguy2 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 I love it. Just ordered one. Here is a gen to compare all your QC pics with

Just ordered one. Here is a gen to compare all your QC pics with I love that strap! Do you know what it is? MM
thogaa Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Joy of joys. What a way to start a new year
relaxman Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 I believe there will be a lot of these crossing the pond this week. I'm really looking forward to receiving mine. Only rep I've bought the first day it hit the market.
miagi Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 shes a beauty, but you guys conserned about the non running secs "mod" (reffering to the zigmeisters write up on that matter) ?

Star69 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 confirmed my QC pics too - just hope it will leave China before the CNY ... cheers, Frank
mikellem Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 shes a beauty, but you guys conserned about the non running secs "mod" (reffering to the zigmeisters write up on that matter) ? I highly respect Robs opinion. How many hundreds of Pam 112 have been sold without problems. Also,, Rob recommends servicing your new watches, which i will have this serviced right away... MM
Jkay Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 shes a beauty, but you guys conserned about the non running secs "mod" (reffering to the zigmeisters write up on that matter) ? We won't know how the factory disabled the seconds pinion until someone sees it for themselves. Maybe it will be OK and maybe it will be half-assed.

relaxman Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 I just notice Josh used my 390 for his QC picks on his website.. That should be a good thing to funny 1
