I've had this watch for about 12 years after buying it in the Far East for not a lot of money.

It keeps great time and the automatic mechanism just keeps going.

I've no idea what if any model it is? Maybe it's some mongrel type watch but it doesn't owe me anything
Does anyone know is it is is a rep of any PAM model?
Thanks

Thanks shoes. Sort of guessed it maybe was as couldn't see one similar anywhere. Ordered a 411 off Toro to replace this one.

PAM 063 white style

Cheers. Just googled the 063 and it does look similar but not as good.

As I said, it's being going strong for over a decade even though the lume has now gone

It's certainly a keeper. Something to remind us how far the rep scene, especially with regards to Panerai, has gone. I'm sure that you can purchase a much better rep for way less than what a comparable rep would cost during that time (I don't even know if it was even possible that far back as I don't know if LH or EL or JF were existing then).

Ordered one off Torro so I will hopefully see how far the rep business has come. Still actually get compliments about this one [emoji23]

I think you'll be really happy with your new watch from Toro and shocked at how far reps have come. Please share your thoughts and pics when the watch arrives.

Really [emoji23]. Pm a link if you can. I could be wrong but I am sure it was about £40 way back when

Saw a similar watch (they call it the PAM088 lite) with a bracelet for $200. :)

That model does not exist, but it is very nice.

M4ttc, have your ever serviced the movement in 12 years? (opened, cleaned, oiled).

No mate. I wouldn't know where to start tbh. Give me a computer no problem but a watch I would mess it up. I think it might be too fiddly. I have a gen Tag Aquaracer and it keeps time as well as that

I had a Rolex bluesy I bought from Thailand 16 years ago I paid £20 for. That watch was still working till I lost it in a Braul I had in town 2 years ago lol. So 14 years and still going strong till it got busted off my wrist.

wow, that's one fantasy watch! Closest thing that come to my mind is a PAM 029 with white dial? You will be AMAZED how far the reps have come along (some of them are quite literally indistinguishable from the gens). I am also amazed that movement is still working (any lume on this one, and if there was at some point, how is it holding up?)
