Richard Tracy Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Are these beautifully colored markers a matter of time and age, or a mark of these particular models ? I would love to own one.. have the perfect strap in transit purchased for a watch I currenty own.. but it would look even better on one of the above... Besides the Radiomir vintage models }..unless our dealer's photographs are not showing the true colors.... has anyone purchased a pam that has deep yellow markers ? If so.. where ? Thanks much in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 RT- The first picture of the 5218-201/A has markers that were pre-maturely aged because of the reaction of the varnish applied to the Tritium on the dial only (these early models did not have the same varnish applied to the hands). The reaction caused the Tritium to turn an Orange-ish color, yet the hands remained 'normal'. These early versions are known as 'non-matching' because of the combination (later iterations had a different mixture of varnish applied to both dial and hands). The second watch pictured looks like an A or B serial 'T SWISS T' dialed PAM001; the markers on the dial have most likely aged naturally. If you're looking for a PAM that has markers that appear to be aged, you may want to consider one of davidsen's offerings... More pics this way...
