bumroxas Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) The Pam Ti's Are one of my favorites to work with. Over the past months, I've had 2 176's, 3 177's, and a 240. my problem is I've decided to keep just one. the 240 is nice with a closed caseback but it doesnt just appeal to me as the manual winds, so this is the first one to go. the 176 and 177--both good watches dont mind keeping any of them. both are on an hfactory case with a noob dial. Modded cg's and flattened pinions. here are the pics: here is the 177 and 176: the 177 is an L series while the 176 is an n- in the end ill just match the hands with the caseback but one thing ill have to decide on is the case and cg-- it seems the 177 is the best for me. Hoping for more knowledgeable Pam gurus to help me out on this. both seem to have the same crystal clarity and hue, dial is from noob, case on the 177 is a bit sharper. CG- 176 cg is the M and N series with a wide gap 177 cg has a narrower opening Need your opinions on this as this will be my reason for choosing for now i'm inclined to keep the 177 any comments will be greatly appreciated folks. in the end these will all be left for my Pam line: trusty 005 and 177 (but this an older photo of the 177 still has the wide cg which i transplanted to the 176) Many thanks guys!!!

StormTooper4 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Tough call , you clearly like your Ti's . It would be 176 , 240 , 177 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumroxas Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 The 176 is a beauty. Maybe I'll just jeep the 176 and 177. Both can share spare parts in the future as these will be keepers. Anything wrong with the 177? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Nothing wrong with any of them, they are all top quality reps. Just personal preference , had a few 177's myself and never felt too much attachment to them. I actually find them a bit too dull "material" wise. But I think the 176 dial is great in it simplicity. I think Brown dials work really well with Titanium though and bring some warmth to the metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumroxas Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 The Ti is dull but that's what i like about it. I use it for mostly casual attired partnered with distressed straps like gunny's. Thanks for the inputs storm. I'd just like to keep one with the closest cg to the Gen with all things the same.

bumroxas Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Disaster!! Tried to polish the canon pinion for the 240 and its nickel plated! ended up with a brass colored pinion........the hands on these are easy to deform too... where can i get a canon pinion for this? and hands too...

pam21 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I like the pam176, it to me being a base pam is what a historic pam is all about. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
