Something about PAM029....

Recommended Posts

Just received my PAM029 this morning, it is a good watch and looks stunning. The price is unbeatable, too.

Somehow, there are three things that caught my eye:

1.) the 24-hour engraved bezel and the indexes of the tuxedo dial are slightly mis-aligned, from 3 to 12.

it is not a big flaw, but bugs me.

2.) the GMT hand is independently settable, but the space in between hours is so small I somewhat feel it is not point to the right position.

3.) it says " L SWISS MADE L", not ' T SWISS MADE T" like the gen.

Does anyone who has this watch has the same things like mine? Or, it is just mine?

Any feedback with be appreciated....

I got mine from Joshua or King - I forget which. The engraving seems very straight to me, and the GMT hand seems to adjust fine. I like to set it to the twelve or 6 position and then set the watch.

Mine does say "L" rather than "T" -- but I had to see it with a loop.

It is a very nice watch, keeps great time and tested to be perfectly watertight to 4ATM. I can live with the "L"

What does the milesimation number on your caseback start with? B?

If it's B, the dial could be signed either 'L' or 'T'. The B series run was a transitional period for Panerai, so either could be correct.

On my Pam 28 it says:

OP 6508

BB 977428

A194/500

Would the L be correct?

There were certainly L and T dial versions of the PAM 28 and 28a Power reserves which were also 1998 models. If an A caseback (as the rep PAM 28) then definitely a T dial, but a B casebck would fit with both dials.

The OP numbers do not seem to follow any particular pattern - I know that the PAM004 has three different OP numbers. One of the gen forums has detailed tables listing all the OP numbers taken from records and gen watches - find it here: http://www.clubpanerai.com/index.asp?notizia=385&codice=15
