tech Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm not lovin' that strap but the dial looks fine on the watch. Is that crystal supposed to be sitting that high up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsonlye Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm not sure about this model. Advice and comment are welcome. Is it a good trade with my Pam 029m?Sky - Galaxy 10.1 @ Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Compliments on your taste, the pam249 model is a very nice model. I had one too a long time ago, even had it modded by The Zigmeister. But still, if you are looking for 1:1 then better look further. The pam249 is a great model, but the rep just has way too many flaws. That is also the reason why I sold mine. wrong case shape, too round missing engraving on the case missing 'OP' on the dial Dial is just a whole other story. Rep dial cannot compare to gen. The gen has these cutouts in the dial where the lume is seated in. Rep lume on this one is quite weak Hand are often painted while the gen has 'blued' hands There has not been a new model recently, so the available reps are several years old already. And just last couple of years, in general the reps have improved so much with H and N factories. If your rep pam029M is from noob factory, then in quality is is way superior to this pam249. One thing I do like is the strap. That looks totally awesome. Do you know who the maker is and where to buy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsonlye Posted September 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Thanks mate, I'm not looking 1:1 but at least a worth on trade.Thanks for pouring out the flaw. I guess all this can fix slowly. Not the case but other. The strap is from the seller. He make the strap.Sky - Galaxy 10.1 @ Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Indeed the case cannot be fixed. The dial also cannot be fixed. Also the hands not, and not the crystal shape. If you want to fix it you will end up with +600usd watch which still doesn't look gen. I chose for a homage watch with california dial, since I liked that dial and model so much.
