HauteHippie Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Yea, PAM has been around for quite some time. I work very close to his shop and stop in from time to time. It's in complete disarray and full of a mixture of gen and non-gen stuff... Honestly the guy really has no clue what's what from what I can tell.

Jimmythree Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 A word of advice...be extremely careful dealing with this outfit. I have a few stories about them. (about 7 or 10 years back) One story about them trying to sell used rolex crowns, claiming they were new... They advertised "new" rolex crowns for a lowball price. I called and asked if they were still in the original blister packs. They said NO! I asked if they were "take offs". They said NO! I asked why they were not in blister packs. They said they were purchased "in bulk" and that was the way they came. I knew better because a friend has a rolex parts account. I told them what I thought about it and reported them to the NAWCC. The NAWCC said this was not the first complaint on PAM. I have 3 of these stories from first hand experience...one repair with more or less good results, one where they stole a crown off a nos UG Polerouter, and the story below. (he finally got the crown back) The story about a friend who sent a watch for repair and one for parts... They sent a quote. He OK'd the job. They sent the repaired watch back with a seriously jacked up repair price. He stuck to the repair quote. (he had already paid) They kept the "parts watch" worth about $300. The repaired watch was barely running and the movement was very dirty, looked like it had been worked on in a pig pen. A low class botch job. Later on, the guy who owned the watch was in Palo Alto CA on business so he rented a car and went to visit Palo Alto Micro. They would not come to the door so he called and told them he wanted to talk to them. They still would not open the door. He called back a few times and they hung up each time. He asked around and everyone said that was business as usual. (they still have his parts watch) They are better known as Palo Alto Micro...a hole-in-the wall used computer shop. Ask around.
