Guest Sql_pl Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 It's been a while since I bought my last PAM. There was a moment in my life where I got really crazy about them and got most of coolest ones including Honpo 187, 2893 029, 196, some 111s, 127s, 217s, a 050, 051 etc etc but then some other nicely repped brands got my attention. Yesterday I finally got something new and it happens to be a PAM Below you can find some quick dirty pics of new arrival: So what do you think? Acceptable? Damn those MBWs are really nice! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b16a2 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Nice gen SQ!! The 112 is a classic, such smooth lines! Wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Congrats - I am a fan of the Bases as well. I have an older version and I would say that it gets the most wrist time of my PAM's. Wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peepshow Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Congrats! Base dials are where it's at. Was that an AD purchase or 2nd-hand? I had a 002D that I regret selling, as well as a 210I. Yep, I like bases. Here's the "cousin" to your watch, 114E: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Thanks for all your comments guys. Yes, it is gen. Bought it second hand from a guy who never actually wore it, just bought it last year at Wempe and kept it in his safe. Now he is raising funds for 127 so this one had to go. I was unsure if I really want it as I have read a lot about rep owners getting gen PAMs and their comment was that the difference is not that big. Well I have to say quite the opposite. The attention to details, the finish of the movement, even the CG lever with its "circular thing" at the very end of it that rotates when it touches the crown so there is no metal to metal rubbing... wow. And the lume.... I am in love. Will post more pics tomorrow All of a sudden I am on gen buying frenzy... and guess what? There is another one on the way as I type this :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 The attention to detail on a gen is incomparable to a replica. Some more base love. Congrats!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I love the pre-H movement design! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepshow Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I love the pre-H movement design! Yeah, me too. I dunno why Panerai when away from the "graffiti" decoration. I don't know what gen owners said the difference wasn't very big, but it certainly wasn't me! Does the difference justify the difference in MSRP? That's another question all together...

Guest Sql_pl Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Oh and one thing - I actually thought the AR in GEN will be more impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Yeah, me too. I dunno why Panerai when away from the "graffiti" decoration.

But the new one looks great when the light hits it from a good angle - the cotes de geneve looks really outstanding and shiny. What also is often hard to see in pictures is that the movement underneath the bridges is engine-turned - this looks amazing as well in person! Does your pre-H have such engine turned finish too?

jeff g Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 The Base rules. Here is my 112F. I love this watch. The Base 112H is a beautiful thing. Wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
