Degsy1880 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 So I splashed out on a noob pam111 but yes you guessed it I'm hooked. So the wallet is dented but been looking at what's available below 200 dollars including shipping to the UK IWC fa jones looks ok, any cheaper Portuguese models worth a bash. Pam 390 from super mirrors off rwi looks ok but unsure if still available Omega PO seen some beginners I think they called on trusty and toros any of these worth a punt Any other suggestions guys welcomed.

fraggle42 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Check out Watch International. They are a TD here and at RWG.bz. On RWG.bz they have a sub forum where they do "cheapies" and I've got a couple from there, Omega Pumpkin 42mm and Omega 007 42mm, both very nice watches and a bargain for the cost. The Pumpkin has stripped the thread on the tube, but that is a common problem with POs, and a new gen crown and tube cost me about £37 and is easy to fit.

Breitling looking better though quite like the bracelet on that one over the gmt2 d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiverDoug Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I got my PO with a 4813 movement from Trevor last October for less than $200. Despite a bit of a rough patch in the beginning (ie it stopped twice), it's been on my wrist for the last 7 months and despite gaining about a minute or so every week, it hasn't skipped a beat (no pun intended! ;-). I just had it in to a watchsmith and he said it was a really good rep and would be quite difficult to tell the difference from a gen. I also just bought a Noob v3 PAM111 from Trevor and it arrived last week, but unfortunately something has gone wrong with it. Regardless, I brought it into the WS and he said that it too was a fantastic rep and would be extremely difficult to tell from a gen, so Trev's quality is pretty good too. Andrew seems to have a lot of really nice reps for less than $200 as well. Because Trev doesn't have the reps i'm after, I'll probably go through Andrew next. Would be keen to hear how you go with your search! DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be keen to hear how you go with your search! DD I got an orange 42mm PO from Trevor a couple of months ago for ~150 with a DG4813 as well. It's the only one of my three reps that didn't need any work on the movement. The two eta (one swiss, one asian) movements I had both needed servicing soon after purchase but the 4813 has been perfect the whole time. It gains a couple seconds per day, which is exactly what I'd like it to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
