Stephane Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hi Guys, There is a good deal on that Pam and I would like to have experts opinions on this watch. I don't matter about the bracelet/strap but more of the case/dial of course Daylight pam 250 ( leather band version only ) 229 usd Black http://gangan.moo.jp/hon/daylight-ku-28800.jpg Many thanks in advance, Cheers Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luisik Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) It is a very-very good piece, as always with River. Date window is too much sunken, but that's because the Asian movement. Send the glass to double AR coating and you will have one of the best reps out there. You won't regret. Edit: for that price is a real bargain. I have the old Daylight (196, wich is almost equal) from about 4 - 5 years and have been working flawless since.

sssurfer Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hi Stephane, still lurking PAMs after getting rid of almost all your PAMs? Quite a good rep -- just, it is a PAM 236, not a 250 (the only difference is the bracelet). The dial is almost perfect. Just 4 flaws: 2 unrecoverable and 2 recoverable. Unrecoverable 1: the date pusher is not exactly @10H, it is rather midway between 10H and 9H. Unrecoverable 2: the numbers on the caseback are incorrect, they used the caseback from the PAM 188 and 196. The 236 and 250 started from I-series, there are no G-series. Recoverable 1: the datewheel. The date font is, as usual, ridicolously thin. And the datewheel looks a little recessed (sunken) below the dial. Recoverable 2 (or even negligible): as usual, the crown is a tiny bit thinner than the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 let's do it this way...I'll post some pics of the gen (hi res pics- beautiful and big) and you'll do the compare thing... so read-share & compare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Thanks guys. Apparently, this is a very good deal and nice watch but not as good as the old ones.. Cheers Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luisik Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Stephane, I don't see more flaws in this new 250 than, in example, a 3717 (I think it even has less).... double AR it and you will get what it is called now Ultimate, 1:1 or Super-duper, if you are concerned about adjectives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is the less I'm looking at...too much trendy posts here about super reps and few super reps. No, it's just that I would prefer to go for a "almost fully modded one" and send it to K2222 like my 3717... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobs1971 Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 On top of the flaws Sssurfer pointed out it looks as if the 'Luminor Panerai' font is a bit too thin. Also the numbers on the 30 minutes subdial look a bit too small and too thin. But who's going to see that without having a gen for a side to side comparison? All in all it looks awesome and I just send a request for this watch to Angus. I hate PAMs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 That watch looks awsome. Oh, no! I feel that pam disease setting in. Darn, have to add another to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Nice watch Stephane! I must admit that untill now i always preferred the PAM196 above the PAM250, but now i see the pixx of the genuine one with spectacular AR, i guess i like them equally. I'm sure it will look great with the double AR :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
