Ricardo L Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 I just received this beauty from Andrew http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=PN089&x=0&y=0 A bit pricey at about $400 once you pay shipping, but I just fell in love with the Titanium brushed look and the GMT dial. -- Quick delivery from Andrew, can't wait to go outside and see how the dial looks in the sunlight. I really like the strap that Andrew is shipping with this watch, great grey color, nice suede leather, and super soft, its VERY comfortable, my wrist is on the small side (about 6 3/4"), and i have no discomfort with the 44mm case with this strap. I think the dial might be about a millimiter too low, the L SWISS MADE L seems to be cut-off .. - might just be my angle in the shot though.
FxrAndy Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 Hmm the Swiss does Look a bit low but still a nice watch
Ricardo L Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Posted April 27, 2013 FxrAndy -- Yeah, but i think this may be fixable whenever i have the movement serviced in the future.
sneed12 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Posted April 28, 2013 FxrAndy -- Yeah, but i think this may be fixable whenever i have the movement serviced in the future. Doesn't look like it, honestly. The dial looks centered well in the case, might be tough to move it up. Still, barely noticeable, and nice watch.
FxrAndy Posted April 28, 2013 Report Posted April 28, 2013 I am really hoping to have mine in the morning. The suspense of this one has been killing me. I will have a look if it can be moved abit if mine is the same
Ricardo L Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Posted April 28, 2013 gotta say the rep scene has really blossomed ..these first class and super rep crops are really nice to have... my next PAM is going to be PAM 061 -- i'm trying really hard to be responsible and wait 2 months before ordering
projectologist Posted April 28, 2013 Report Posted April 28, 2013 I think the dial might be about a millimiter too low, the L SWISS MADE L seems to be cut-off .. - might just be my angle in the shot though. Location is per gen of the L SWISS MADE L. It's an E series dial and this is where the LSML is located, very close to the edge.
Ricardo L Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Posted April 28, 2013 Fxrandy -- post pictures when you get yours .. its a beautiful watch --
PolonusTM Posted April 28, 2013 Report Posted April 28, 2013 You can actually move the dial up a tiny bit: I have just checked it on mine - after releasing clams holding movement against case you can move it a bit. I have easily make my watch into looking like Yours - with L SWISS MADE L being undercut a bit. So, open the watch, loose the screws a bit and move the movement up
Mapman57 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 OP very nice, gonna get one soon. Cant believe Andy has not got his yet, its been so long coming :-)
FxrAndy Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Still not here apparently the postal strikes in Germany have made a bit of a delay
Ricardo L Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Posted May 1, 2013 Btw - does anyone know how close a 7750 movement sounds to a gen PAM 89 .. (i am too lazy to lookup the movement name for the 89) ... its unlikely that anyone who sees me with this watch would know what its supposed to sound like .. but just curious .. havent been able to take this watch off my wrist since i got it .. and the sounds the 7750 makes has grown on me -- while typing at work it will once in a while get the right momentum and wobble -- kind of a cool reminder that its there.
FxrAndy Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Its design is exactly the same as the OP VIII, ok the rep bearing on the rotor may be a little louder buut no different than a swiss 7750 that needs a bit of lube. No one is going to say that it is a rep just because it is a bit louder.
Mapman57 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Location is per gen of the L SWISS MADE L. It's an E series dial and this is where the LSML is located, very close to the edge. Yep - looks like an issue they resolved on the F series of 500 watches ?
Ricardo L Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Posted May 2, 2013 i was reading in the other 89 thread that the dial actually changed in the gen between series .. interesting to notice though that the cyclops is slightly off in the gen also.
FxrAndy Posted May 2, 2013 Report Posted May 2, 2013 Still waiting. After all these years it is still a killer waiting for a new rep
