Help Needed! Where to find a PAM 177

Recommended Posts

Alright, so I have the bug to get a Titanium PAM and have been researching to find who has the best one available. I don't mind doing some modding, but I want to have a good base to start with. I was looking at this one Josh's PAM 177 and looking at some on Davidson's work, but the work seems to hit or miss. Is there a closed back 44mm Titanium PAM available? Please help out a Noob and get me pointed in the right direction! Thanks in advance for your help!

I bought an asian dagger swan neck from Joshua for $248. Its a great watch but keep in mind that the crystal is mineral glass, not sapphire.

Jamz,

I thought I read that DSN's dial were not the most accurate, is this correct? Bluerex, that is the same watch I was looking at, how is the CG? I was thinking I may just buy one of Tourby's new Titanium CG's when they are released. I would really like to find a closed back Ti PAM so i don't have to deal with the movement issues. Any Suggestions?

The CG looks ok to me. I am not a specialist and this is my first PAM so I am not the best person to ask this. Fish has also bought this same watch and said that CG was ok but it was pushing on the crown too much so he had to sand it down a little.

Overall I am very happy with this watch. The case has a few machining marks on it but I am certain these can be taken care of.

A good combination would be the standard rep with gagger Swan neck from Joshua and a modded DSN CG. It is really tricky (the screw size and screw hole distance is different) but it can be done and the results are really nice. The crown stem with the Joshua version is slightly too long sometimes which requires to storten the stem and the CG feet to make the crown lock down correctly into the O-ring gasket (which is important for getting it waterproof).

Here are some fotos for comparison, the one with 2 watches shows the difference between H-series style and earlier CG style.

AFAIK, no closed back Ti luminor available.

SSS what do you mean? do you mean currently on offer?

I use your spreadsheet all the time to check out models and there are quite a few closed case back versions, 055, 056, 057, there was a 061 up for sale this week.

I suppose currently on offer by dealers there's only DSN 240.
