Still enjoying my PAM 118 after 2 years a 2 months.

[ravishingrick]

Still enjoying my daily beater, have been wearing this PAM for more the 2 years. Allot of watches have come and gone, but have been wearing this for 90% of the time...

Proves to me that swiss movement reps are the way to go...

[lfovco]

Very cool.

I can say the same about my 111 which I have been wearing for 2 years and 1 month, also about 90% of the time. Swiss is the way to go.

Is that a Palp crown?

Yes it is a Palp crown, it has a Josh 036 crown guard, super lumed dial, high canon pinion and an OEM antique brown croc strap.

who said reps don't last

I've had gens lasting a lot shorter than that

@RavishingRick.. I am still enjoying your 195 - a lot! Despite the Asian copy 6947, it is till ticking, keeping perfect time and looking very cool.

I have four "Unitas" pams. Three Asian and one Swiss. The Swiss has died but all the riceburners are running perfectly.

Luck of the draw, I suppose.

[Pam-O-licious]

Yup, 2 plus years and counting the "OG" Pam is still going strong!

Beautiful 118 you have there..love the mods!

[Guest avitt]

Very nice 118 RR. Great mods!

In a remarkable parallel, my first good "forum era" rep was a 118 from River, purchased on 2-5-05. It is still one of my favorites...I love the casual look of the Ti with Tobacco dial. Here's mine:

Upgrades include: Davidsen hand set, lume work by Kent Parks, crown guard fit optimally to case, crown guard lever replaced with thick steel version (brushed to match Ti finish), G-Series movement, polished canon pinion, River spring bars, Don stap (recently replaced with Don Cuio Tobacco lambskin).

I have a swiss 118 and it's well over a year old. I cant get it off my wife's wrist.

I love this watch and may just have to get one that I can wear.

Yours looks WAY better than mine tho.

Very nice.

[section8]

still looks great! Wear it well

The swiss movement should be easy to repair. Spare parts can be found every where and I think any local watch maker can fix it for you.

I'm amazed at the reliability of some of my older reps. They have been running for two years plus without a hitch. Even then quality was verrrry good.
