Eddie Lee Pam 111h

[Sherrington]

Being a Rollie man I am not really qualified to answer the following question, although it looks pretty accurate to me.

Best PAM 111H?

How accurate is it? Eddie has told me the following:-

best version

swiss eta 6497-1j movt (think he means 17 jewels!!)

sapphire

with ar coating

correct serial out of 2000/ 0035

correct crown guard

correct dial font

the best u can get

flawless

I know the crown can be swapped out with a Palp one and a decent strap wouldn't go amiss. But is it really that accurate?

I have also checked out Precious Time's but the dial font is wrong. Homer doesn't do the H version and this to me looks the best. But what do you experts say?

All 111 H are pretty much alike. Except for the presence or lack of AR coating and the type of glass (sapphire or mineral). I also believe that every 111H's dial problem is the font Luminor etc. which is very white instead of cream white. The crown guard itself is more different from the genunine than the crown. It's best that you seek for as many photos as you can find and compare the pieces. If it looks good to you, go for it! If you have doubts, then it's best you don't buy it... It's just a replica!

There is another problem with the latest batch of 111H's: the L SWISS MADE L is miss-aligned, so make sure you ask for getting one that looks exactly like the pics on his site.

Thanks Lovepanerai, I didn't know about the L SWISS MADE L flaw... appreciate it!

no problem, just want to help avoid that others face the same surprise than I did - you look at the dealers picture and it looks great, but what you get than is different. Not complaining so much, but pointing out the fact that in the replica world it is all a game of chance.....
