243 or La Bomba for tiny asian wrist?

[mysterio]

If anything, pam064 without a strap and screws 148 g, while the chrono pams 44mm in steel are all about 120-125 g, depending on the model. About 243 - I don’t know yet ...

The PAM243 is 148 grams.

Thank you for adding that, in general, the weight is the same (given the accuracy of the kitchen scale) and a different strap can minimize the difference between 1000m. panerai and chrono 44mm. So the weight in the wearing process will not play a decisive role.

I think you’re shaming me into buying another watch.
OK, fine I’ll do it, if I ever see another 187 I’m going to go for it. Not because I want to, just to prove I can handle that monster. ????

Just a reminder, please refrain from posting WTB type posts in the discussion section. Thanks.

Damn, I missed that one. I normally make an effort to know the rules, but I failed on this one, so do apologize.

Well the scale I used at the time was one calibrated to traceable standards then I averaged 10 readings to reach the final result though a kitchen scale will probably do just fine (I was in the office, newly purchased weighing scales arrived, it was fate :lol: ).

You may wish to consider a 42mm submersible. A 44mm will be wearable due to Panerai's relatively short lugs but something like a 683 or 959 will wear much more comfortable.

Please do, I wasnt aware that a tritium dial rep was available- is it a gen ?

The PAM243J was a tritium dialed model and yes, there was a batch released by the factories.

Thanks guys, guess that would be hard to find then!

Well it wouldn't hurt to ask the TDs. These were not as popular as the Luminova dialed PAM243. Who knows? There might be the odd NOS rep laying in stock somewhere. Good luck.

Will do, that's how I managed to get a NOS 27 from DSN a couple of months ago - about 4 years after the last one was supposedly seen in the wild
