AMK000 Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 (edited) Guys , What do you think about the PAM 199 that some dealers already carry (EG: KING and Watchhonpo). Any comments ?? Also a question: Is the the bezel of the gen Shined or brushed ??? (the reps seems to be brushed). Here is a pic of a gen (scroll down , second watch) .... looks bezel is shined but can really tell. http://images.google.es/imgres?imgurl=http...6lr%3D%26sa%3DG Thanks Edited June 7, 2006 by AMK000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris5264 Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 I like it, but can't get over the poor date magnification problem. This may only hold for the one I had, but it was very difficult to read the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Apparently, the date mag is an issue on all the submersibles. I've got two and both date mags suck although the regatta is the better of the two of them. AMKOOO, you'll enjoy it. I like it better than the Artkos. The hands are more readable in bad lighting as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert , It seems that Watchhonpo has a new one listed (I think better version). http://shopping.e-conveni.net/item_info.ht...ucts_id=823123& Ive mailed KEN (Etaworld) to found out more about it. ..... and yes the date mag is an ussue with the subs.

It's hard to tell if there is a difference. The Date mag looks better in his pictures, but not sure. Couldn't see any other differences. Can't tell what movement it has. I do know that in other watches a swiss movement enables a better date mag, why? I don't quite understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 I will update this post with input from Ken when available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 The date mag issue will be difficult to tell with pictures. I remember two of my subs, if they were in direct sunlight, it actually looked acceptable. So, if may be one of those things you need to have in hand to detect.

Viennawatch Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Not my thing... too bulky! Whatever makes you happy really.. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsv123 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 It could be my wishful thinking but the crown looks better in the Watchhonpo pics. Date mag looks poor, and the perennial problem of the not bold enough date font is there too. Such a shame they don't print a decent datewheel!
