Welcome to RWG!

You are asking about a copy of a vintage PAM. Here is the original:

The rep looks fine. If you look at the picture above you will notice that it was originally a Rolex movement. I don't own one but thought the rep usually comes with the Russian Molijna movement which looks more like the original and the price would be substantially less.

Look at Trustytime. I believe he is selling for less than half.

silix-prime.com has it for around USD 180 wth the Russian movement I think.

grazie kruzer00 e Chronus,

ho confrontato i siti che mi avete indicato ma ho alcune perplessità :

1) perchè usare un vetro zaffiro ? l'originale presumo debba montare un plexiglass ?

2) circa i movimenti russi conosco i CARDINAL come robusti e precisi meccanismi mentre i comuni POLJOT anche se revisionati manualmente non riescono a mantere il passo. presumo che questi orologi montino un POLJOT.

3) vi sono divergenze sulla corona di carica tra le varie foto...

lumi al riguardo ?

thanks kruzer00 and Chronus,

I have compared the sites that you have pointed out me but I have some doubts :

1) because a Sapphire crystal glass? the original I suppose has to climb on a plexiglass?

2) around the Russian movements I know the CARDINAL as strong and precise mechanisms while the common POLJOTs even if manually revised they don't hold the step.. I suppose that these clocks climb on a POLJOT.

3) there are divergences in the photos respect the crown...

answer on this?

Poljot has a very good reputation for keeping time. Unitas is not particularly better and the bridges on the Poljot look very similar to the original Rolex. Plexiglass is the usual crystal and the price shoud be $180-200. I don't know which crown you are looking at but it is the Brevet crown.

you will most likely recieve the same watch SILIXPRIME offers...

and as for the glas, its plexi glas @silixprime also, i bought about 5 or 6 of those from them and they all were fine (movement wise) and the glas was plexi
