PAM 390 engine check

[tslims99]

I recieved a Pam 390 from Josh about 2 weeks ago, and have been very satisfied with it thus far. I decided to do an engine check to see what kind of reserve the hand wind movement possesses. Gen panerai watches have a reserve of 50 hours, and I was interested to see if my rep could stay wound for even close to 50 hours.

Well...I am very happy to report that I gave my Pam 390 a full wind 48 hours ago, and it is still keeping perfect time! Way to go Josh! I will not hesitate to pull the trigger on a another Pam in the future!!!

Very cool. I had my 390 serviced when I got it. I got 54 hours on a full wind. And it keeps time super well, even after a week it's still spot on.

who serviced your 390 for you?

[tslims99]

just hit 50 hours. I am totally stoked. What a nice timepiece!!!

My 390 is serviced by the Zig. It has a pr of 55h+ and keeps perfect time

Josh is perfect clones

Zig is The Zigmeister from this forum and is a modder/watchsmith in Canada

mine runs 58 hours without any service

How much it cost for Zig to service it? and what should I say to Zig regarding the service?

My PAM 111N movement is a little bit noisy, I assume servicing it will make it less noisy?

I have recently invested in an A21j PAM090 - one of the ones with a functional power reserve dial that goes to 40 hours. The person I bought it from (back street rep vendor in Malaysia) warned me that I wouldn't actually get anything like 40 hours. She said that it should do 24, and might make it to 30. I tested it by giving it a full manual wind and left it to run down. I got *exactly* 40 hours from it, with the PR indicator nicely and accurately counting down the hours. A21Js come in for a lot of flack, and I know that they can be a bit hit or miss. However, just sometimes, they can perform outstandingly. Not only does it have the same PR as a gen, it is also by far the most accurate rep I own - usually keeping time to less than 5 seconds per day.
