lovepanerai Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Hmm, looks pretty good to me...what particular CD/crown detail is bugging you ? cheers, babola The crown looks like it has less teeth than the gen, the crown guard lever end point is not curved like the gen or other replicas for that matter - I will further illustrate with my own pictures once I recieve the watch - the pictures could show a prototype, at least I am hoping they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavor flav Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 awesome! maybe now i'll get an auto pam. it still feels wrong to have an automatic non-chrono pam for me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebakanezzar Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 LOL! Its all "good news" and "Happy Campers" today..... .....whining about cost, price fixing and dealer gouging tomorrow..... I can hear it now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dachser Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Is there going to be a PAM 104 version ? Regards, Dachser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 What's the word on the Asian 7750 in this configuration? i would think the absence of the chrono would greatly reduce the number of issues on unserviced movements, but you never know. When I see 7750 Asian I automatically start thinking I'll need to set aside a service fund too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, Andrew never said they've re-done CG and crown on this 92 rep version Edited February 15, 2007 by babola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsv123 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 It's looking damn good, certainly an improvement on the previous versions. Regarding the crown and crown guard, the crown looks slightly off, but not so much as to bother me. Here are some good pics of the gen: http://www.thewatchquote.com/Panerai-Lumin...tos-No_4058.htm Looking forward to the Arktos North Pole if it's as good as this!

t Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 common guys let´s start our own arktos expedition what is 20.000km along the Artic Circle if you have a ULTIMATIVE PAM 092 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Good to hear on the improvements. Thanks for this. And good to hear about using super lume. On Pams, I hope you can also put the thicker crown on. Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 This is all very, very interesting. I think the Chinese New Year is going to see a lot of great introductions. Get your wallets ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre V Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Crown, Magnification and Date Font looks just right on the DOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 The North Pole will have these same features? That is truly exciting if so, though I have not had any experience with Asian 7750-based GMTs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumum Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) The North Pole will have these same features? That is truly exciting if so, though I have not had any experience with Asian 7750-based GMTs. This is what I was also thinking. It would be great if the North Pole had these same specs as it is still in production. Then I finally will be TEMPTED to get my first set of Pams (as flaws which held me back would be resolved). And same question on the Asian 7750, how is the durability ect versus a swiss. Edited February 15, 2007 by mumum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisegold Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Hey, I just want a 40mm auto that looks right! The 44mm are too big on my wrist so this is exciting..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 hmmmmmmm this version looks a little bit thinner than the old version??? how much is the thickness on new version? but a great watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenacious_b Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 crown guard and crown guard lever look like the crappy ones on the 21j models. This kills the look for me. My 186 Arktos looks way better than this, even with it's crappy cyclops and date font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 What about the more pressing recessed cannon pinion issue? Non-issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 So maybe it's just super-anal me, but the lume in Andrew's pic looks really bad. The date font is improved but not quite right. The cyclops looks good as does the crown. But if I were to buy this watch, I'd still want a The Zigmeister lume job and an archibald/kruzer datewheel.

Watchmeister Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I agree with Chief. Font is better but they were unwillling to spend the $100 bucks to get the exact correct Swiss Font (that one you can't get for free - ). And the lume does look bad in that particular picture. The watch is still a solid improvement though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cyclops looks good as does the crown. But if I were to buy this watch, I'd still want a The Zigmeister lume job and an archibald/kruzer datewheel. I'll second that. Improvement - yes. But nowhere near the real thing. I'll stick with my non-date PAMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
