frogfalls Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) Hi there these are picts taken from a PAM 188 I've bought from Angus last week. In your opinion is this an old case ( double radius)? Cheers Edited June 5, 2008 by frogfalls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takashi Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 @frogfalls: yours look like to have the same caseback as mine Is this the old case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Can't exactly tell from the pictures. Here is a classic new case listing with a good side profile pic (too lazy to post specific pic): http://www.pc-80108.com/pn18805-panda-dayl...7753-p-262.html Yours looks like the older case/bezel though. There is much more of a sideways v on the bezel coming off the case on the old cases and although there are reflections I think that is what I am seeing on yours. I somehow remember that the new case 188's tend to have Luminor written on the edge of the caseback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogfalls Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 would a photo with the back removed help? Richard I not able at the moment. the watch is still in Jakub's hands ( AR+Lello's DW) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Thank you very much for the comparison pointer. Yes, now I see. So I think I have the old case and so are you frogfalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Stefan's has the number 2 because it was #2 (from Honpo). Both the 188 and 196's I have owned over the years were from the first production run. Those were the cases that came with it. On the Panda's I had to swap cases. They both had fairly obvious numbers (400/1200 or whatever). A number of the asian versions had no serial numbers. Then there were a whole bunch with even 100 serial numbers. They vary all over the map so the number is unlikely to be a guidance on a watch unless it is an odd number or low number. Stefan- That watch has never looked so good. Stunning pictures. Thanks for the compliment Kruzer. But you and me know it is a bloody nice looking watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_uk Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Richard I not able at the moment. the watch is still in Jakub's hands ( AR+Lello's DW) Cheers sorry for the confusion, I was asking the others if a pic, with the back removed, of this one I have here would help, I should have made it more clear as it did look like I was referring to your post, my bad sorry.

Watchmeister Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Actually back off is not that helpful as this one came in all forms of decoration. A large percentage of the first generation 7753's did not have any decoration. I don't remember on the Asian 7750's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
