Quarks Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) If you have a choice to own either one of these PAMs, which would you choose? Personally, I love them both just as much and basically sitting on the fence trying to choose one over the other. The PAM 187 & 202 looks sturdy & masculine. Both are badass watches in their own right. Comparing the both, 202's bezel has a cleaner and less clustered look and maintains the historic submersible design, while the 187 bezel markers has a more 'in-your-face' persona. The 202 has no date function while the 187 has. If I am not wrong, the 202 is part Ti/ part SS hence weighing less than the 187. ...and other subtle design differences like thicker 12 o'clock marker & two dot illume above 12 o'clock marker on 202. So what is your choice? PAM 187 PAM 202 - Slytech Edited April 20, 2006 by Quarks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmytim Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I will take the PAM 187 because I don't like slytech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Ditto on that. 'Slytech' just seems cheesy to me. Always has... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 i like them both..maybe the 202 a little bit more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 At the moment 187 with ETA 7753 would do me I like that the 187 stands out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonthebhoy Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Yep....187 here also. JTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exper Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 187 here too, if you are considering getting a real 187 though Ill take the rep off you Personally the bezel on the 202 reminds of the 29 which does not really float my boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighDef Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 187. I'll have to strap it arrround my neck to look decent. This is way too big for my puny wrist, but I still like to get one just to have one. This is how I like this model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario33 Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I'm more a fan of the 187. Prefer the bezel on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I assume you are talking about gens... Do you really want to walk around with "Rocky's" name on a $10,000 watch? "Yoh Adrian!!!" . Go out and buy new Ferrari PAM if you want another name on your watch. 187 or 194! But I do get your point on the 187. I am staring at your pic of the gen with the rep on my wrist and it is pretty amazing. If they ever make a 7753 version there is no point in buying gen. On this one the case, crown, cg, etc. is truly CNC'ed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I love 'em both...that 187 is gonna snag all the lint on those cashmere sweaters...whateva cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finepics Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Is it possible to get an ETA 7753 and fit it in to the 187 rep case you have with no problems? No - the date window is in a different position and will not fit unless you get a new dial made. Quarks - I hate you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Finepics, I think I am coming around to your way of thinking.... PAM001, PAM192, PAM196, PAM029, PAM063, PAM127, PAM036... and now after kinda scoffing at you when you said you were loved the PAM212 you have, I am now thinking of getting this too! Paneritis ahoy! I am thinking of the Asian 7750 version as the back is more true to the genuine though if you convince me on an ETA 7750... Anyway back to the thread, I hope to get a PAM187 as well someday... if they ever release it with ETA 7753 and at a decent price... say the price of the ETA 7753 PAM188/196s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luminor Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 202 for me! love the bezel and the look and feel of titanium. missing date is no problem but i could do without the slytech on the dial and especially sly's signature on the caseback.

Cucumber_Jones Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I would get the 202 and then I would get the Eye of the Tiger song on CD and crank it eveywhere I go - just like I am rocky! Actualy - It is tough I like em both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antrax Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I will take the 187. It's big, bold and different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 187 simply because I like the bezel so much more than the 202's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porschespeedster Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 like looking at some nice Borrelli or Barba or Turnbull shirts- in a size way the eff too big for me. If i wasn't 6'1 154lbs i'd pick the first one. until then i'll wear a 44mm PAM, Radiomir PAM, JLC, and Sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadog13 Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 i am the only one that prefers the 202... i have the slytech white face...so his bigger brother would be a nice addition to the family... that it isn't reped...YET! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarks Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Wow.... seems like 187 is the winner. Is it because of Stallone's signature that puts the majority off? Personally I could care less about his name on the 202. I think the design is sleek and shows the attitude of a bigger badder version of the traditional submersibles.

V Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 187 because I like my watch to have Date function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
