chris5264 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 I just got the 112H from Joshua with a strap today, that pic makes me wish I got the bracelet. Very nice.
Guest Sql_pl Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Great! I start to really love base PAMs... now if only silix answers my email...
Drizznay Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Very nice! The base PAMs are the essence of Panerai; simple.
Guest overboosted Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Yes, tis my favorite PAM. But I would suggest to any interested parties to spend the extra and get it with Swiss movement. My chinese copy movement was about +5 minutes per hour out of the box, and now about +1 minutes per hour after I messed with it a little. It is my third chinese Unitas copy. The other two are a bit fast (maybe 5 or so minutes per day). Josh has Swiss, Silix does not.

Cucumber_Jones Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) SQL_PL I think Sililx are busy I have not heard from A or J OB - looks great! Edited March 18, 2006 by Cucumber_Jones
8o8 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) man I love how it is a simple design... unassuming and classy I ordered one a week ago, but I didnt opt to get the ss band... though I got a price for it and I was surpirsed that it was about 66% of the cost of the rep. Edited March 18, 2006 by 8o8
V Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 I believe the simplicity of the BASE and the historic look SCREAMS for a leather strap....
siro Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 nice shot..agree with veni12...will looks much better with leather strap
Guest overboosted Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 Bought it with leather strap on it, but wanted SS all the way.
chris5264 Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 Two things about the base. First, I do agree, it has to be on a strap. However, I just ordered the SS because I think it also looks pretty good and would be a nice change once in a while. Also, perhaps more than any other rep, the recessed pin has to be fixed on the base. Here is my base from Joshua along with my sat project. I was going to fix the pin, but got caught up with trying to do a skeletonized Luminor. Here is a pic of the complex, and the simple.
V Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 Very interesting watch the skeletonized.. Any details on the process?
stenofsweden Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 Hey, Been a Rolex fanatic for quite a while, but now I can’t hold back anymore after seen a friends gen. I’ve been thinking of the 112 or the 001/111 from Josh (feel free to comment on my Panerai-newbie-choice) and I have a follow-up question about strap/bracelet. If I go with the 112 and choose both s/s band and strap, how easy/hard is it to change between them? Thanks!
Guest overboosted Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 2 minutes, just don't overtighten the screws, as the metal on reps isnt the greatest quality and they are known to strip. Go for it! I have 12 PAMs, with 4 SS bracelets and 14 Leather straps. Always nice to change em up a bit. But as I said before, your best bet would be to spring for the Swiss movement. Worth the extra dough.
stenofsweden Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 Great, thanks... I wasn’t aware that the strap/bracelet was attached with screws, which made my choice easier. And yes, I will go with the Swiss one, I always do Any comment’s on my different choices?
Guest overboosted Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 111 and 112 are the perfect newbie PAMs. I personally wouldn't get the 001, as I like the see-through back of the 111/112. As for deciding between those two, well,,,,,seconds or no seconds.... Good Luck!
chris5264 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 Very interesting watch the skeletonized.. Any details on the process? It's just a cheap movement from an Invicta, I just put it in because I'd like to really skeletonize a 6497 by hand someday.... fixing the recessed pin on my 112 today, will post some pics if it works out.
