asands Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hi Guys, just new here and after reading up on as much as I can, I like the look of the PAM212 and obviously the PAM127. The question I have is, which is the best or "definitive" version of these in regards to the accuracy of the reps, the quality of the movement, which dealer and price etc? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm sorry if this info is around somewhere but I couldn't seem to find it. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 No 212 rep has flyback functionality. Asian 7750 auto looks close to me, with display back and engraved rotor. I would expect ETA 7750 is more reliable, but more expensive and no engraved rotor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asands Posted April 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Thanks, since this is the case at the moment, maybe I'll start with the PAM127, as it seems there are quite a few more of these to choose from. It seems like one with higher specs, Sapphire crystal, Swiss movement etc would be the way to go if I want it to still be using it for the next few years, so, same questions I guess for the PAM127, "definitive" version? Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I've been told the most accurate 127 is the one with the engraved bridges, but these are out of production, so the most accurate looking 127 is one of the Asian Unitas versions.

asands Posted April 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Thanks again, anybody know anything about these ones? http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=1653&hl=pam127 sounds good to me, but I'm only new to this. Just a matter of hunting around for the info I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodaddynukka Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 andrew is a great dealer as i have dealt with him before, and that is a very good price, but that is by no means a definitive 127. the one andrew has has a copy unitas movement with no swan neck regulator. the best 127 is no longer in production and has genuine swiss unitas with swan neck. good luck on your quest!

Watchmeister Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Is the Swan neck version really out of production? Wow, with the old case 7753 Daylights no longer made and 187's still difficult to get this rep game is getting more difficult (read more fun). I guess we now own reps which are rarer than the gens. What a great hobby! Someting tells me I should pick up one of those Destro's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
