ddeenbob Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 ...and which one should i pick to order from.....andrew or davidsen....which one do u think holds the best reputation when it comes to panerais....thankx Both good and reputable dealers. I've ordered more than 10 reps from Andrew with excellent service and excellent watches. I am now waiting on a PAM 177H from Davidsen. The difference in price with davidsen is based usually on his mods. The watch I'm waiting on has the improved cannon pinnion, superlume, Davidsen dial and crown, etc. If you buy a PAM from Andrew, you'll get a nice watch. If you want the right cannon pin/lume/etc. then you'll have to pay somewhere else to get these extras. Once again, both good dealers, nice watches...all about the details. The Asian 7750 has a reputation for problems, however, if you search the forum and read the reviews (The ZigmeisterZumba) you'll find that it can be a good movement. I have four with 3 months of no problems, but I'm really a newbie with limited experience. From my perspective, I'd go with the less expensive Asian as my first rep, then as you get smarter from all these great minds here, and form your own opinions, you can move up or just buy more. Good luck. Deen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddeenbob Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 You can also go here: password MMX http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e230/watchmmx/ You'll still have to email him for prices. You can also look at the forums accessory dealers section and click on davidsen for his current ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddeenbob Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Good choice. The 111 is a classic. I'm sure all the PAM lovers here will agree with your choice, and Davidsen is the way to go with PAMs. I'm looking forward to my 177H. Enjoy, and welcome to the forum.
