Defender110 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 hi lello! i noticed this too BUT the crown looks good but sits too close to the case... :-( depending on the model genuine pam some are more acurate than others.. gen pam crown do vary greatly.. as to thickness and beveling.. does anyone remember the pam036 from late 2005?? that one had a perfect crown 1:1 it was limited.. and it even had a flush center pin/cannon, and AR.. man i wich i could find one of those.. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario33 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Looks good. I hope all the newer pam rep's will have this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it has black dial, instead of brown... The crown on it was a bit different from the others, but wasn't correct anyway. This one looks much better and I hoped the narrow gap between case and crown, was due to the pic perspective.

rsv123 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 They have been selling the 036 with this crown for about 6 months, but so far this seems to be the only model with the correct looking 'fat' crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky to grab on in China and have not seen one that can match it since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Titanium crowns on the 036 were always fat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lello Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 (edited) Titanium crowns on the 036 were always fat But not fat enough, and most important, too beveled anyway, at least on mine.

Defender110 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 i saw one of the limited edition pam036 with the perfect crown, ar and correct dial traded a few months ago here on the boards.. sold WITHIN HOURS.. i check the boards every morning too... but i missed it.. it was located in EU but i would have went for it anyway... :-( this version is very different from any other version available ever. i think the only flaw was that it has two additional blue movement screws that should be ss and not blued... real ti case also. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 does anyone remember the pam036 from late 2005?? that one had a perfect crown 1:1 it was limited.. and it even had a flush center pin/cannon, and AR.. man i wich i could find one of those.. :-( Yes I remember, only 200 pieces. I have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Thicker the better I think even if the Gen is slimmer. A thick crown makes them look more chunky. Chunky good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 i saw one of the limited edition pam036 with the perfect crown, ar and correct dial traded a few months ago here on the boards.. sold WITHIN HOURS.. i Within hours? There were two within three days of eachother. The first sold in about 15 minutes. I PMed the seller of the second one three minutes and 14 seconds after he posted the offer only to be told I was beated by about 20 seconds! There were two (and probably more)versions of the 036: the perfect crown version and the better-but-not-as-good-as-the-other-version version. The crown on the perfect version is dead on 1:1--measured against gen more than once on the old board. Same bevel, same teeth, same thickness.

tvt Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Yup, I have that glorious "perfect PAM 36" and is is probably my favorite watch, I put it on a gen OEM dark brown gator and it is REALLY great looking. In fact i have more compliments on it than any other watch by far. But where did the idea of only 200 come from? I bought mine at the watch markets in China and while I only saw the one I would guess I could of had as many as I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender110 Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 can't we get that one made again? :-( same with the 1:1 SMP, CA ti and SW ti? and please release a 1:1 SA before i go and get a gen too...:-) oh yeah and PLEASE post a pic so all the other members here know what we are talking about, as i can't seem to find any of my pics..

Watchmeister Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I have that one as well. The biggest issue is whether ti reps will continue to be available. Have you ever noticed they come and go rather quickly (other than the PAM 036, etc.). IWC GST - gone. Proper Breitling Chrono Avenger - gone. Ti requires a different set-up for manufacturing. My rule of thumb is if you see a ti model you like than buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabom Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 gee.. I must be very lucky to own one then (with the brown dial, AR and thick juicy crown). The only problem with this watch is that the lume wasn't very good - but nothing that The Zigmeister couldn't fix. Needless to say, this is a GREEEEAATT watch!

tvt Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Calling the lume not very good may be the understatement of the year. For a LONG time I thought mine had NO lume whatsoever...NONE. Then after it sat under a light for about 30 minutes and I went into a dark room I noticed the slightest of slight little shimmers... next to nothing but there was SOME lume. But as you say re-lumes are fairly simple and fix it right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedoctor Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) Here's the 036 I got from Josh when he and it were new. It has AR, a fat crown guard, and a flush pin. Is this a good one? Edited December 13, 2006 by thedoctor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RageRover Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Nice pic! But in all seriousness, the 036 crowns look good IMHO, no matter which dealer. Those who own the 036 and have compaired it to a gen, how is the case and CG of the 036? I am still hearing that the cases really aren't 1:1 and neither is the CG. If anyone has any info, it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvt Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I don't know if the case and CG are TRULY 1:1 or not but they certainly are visually identical to the gen. Now I am talking about the model that came out last 2005 and seems to be in short supply, not the one now availbale. They are very similar but not the same. Still, even the current model is very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
