KW PAM359 – a brief declaration of love in pics!

[Abba Zabba Zoo]

I want to thank Ruski91 for this thorough review of KW PAM359 back in June, and the wonderful set of pics that helped me decide to give PAM359 a go! (Look at his review here: http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=184425.) Also thanks to ALE of course, never failing to endorse this watch -- along with a bunch of other PAM reps ;-)

I just like to share a couple of pics of my own copy, that I got in one week ago. It's nothing less than a stunning watch. Rock solid build quality. A sturdy, yet classy appearance at the same time. At first I was not so sure about the dial showing all the hour markers, but wearing it on my wrist has totally convinced me. It's really something else... My copy has a bit of a noisy rotor, but that doesn't really bother me – and I guess this can be easily serviced.

Watch is mounted on a Simona Gruppo Navale, a new line of straps (available in two colors).

Enjoy!

Lovely piece! Congrats! I've been resisting it quite sometime. Maybe change of heart pretty soon. Thanks for sharing!

Great shots!! and Beautiful watch! I am glad my review helped you decide! It truly is a fantastic piece and i recommend it to everyone!

 

[Abba Zabba Zoo]

My pleasure, Rolex. Just felt I HAD to do this ;-) It is a real surprise in elegance, this piece, it will not disappoint!

Thx Ruski!

Lovely watch and great looking strap, congrats!

 

[Abba Zabba Zoo]

Thx Kilo. It's this strap: http://www.distefanostraps.com/prodotto.asp?idprodotto=191&idcategoriab=16

Please note that the strap on Simona's site looks a little more red than it really is. I guess it's something like burgundy-brown in reality, and a bit darker than displayed there.

Thanks for the link mate

I'm going between this and 312 back and forth back and forth oh and 386.

Congrats. It's a beauty. I got one a few weeks back too and mounted it on a similar but darker strap. I found it a challenge to match a strap to because of the marker colour.

 

[Abba Zabba Zoo]

Thx ALE, Norrie. Strap is not easy, indeed. Ruski's croc strap is an amazing fit, too (It's a chic watch), or a black strap with ecru stitching of course.

Love my 359. I think this is my favorite

Looks great, thanks for sharing :0)

Rep KW strap is good enough
But it has just a bit thinner stitching thread and a bit white in comparison with the ecru-vintage lume
You can try to change the stitching thread for a thicker and accurate coloured one. It is no very difficult !!

The beef with this is the movement. It's 21600 instead of 28800, so each tick of the seconds is not as smooth. If only it were higher beat

I bought mine due to Ale's comments regarding its quality. Mine I believe contains the 7750 movement. An outstanding watch of very high quality.

Great looking PAM. Congrats on your purchase. KW surely makes nice PAMs with quality.

Thanks all for your comments.

I guess this could be an issue for some people when looking critical at the mechanical side of things. Of course, its movement isn't perfect either. Seconds are running smoothly enough for me, though. To my eyes, what matters most is the optical side: its solid build and seemingly immaculate finish.

 

[rjk1]

Yeah I see where you're coming from. For me the a7750 is better because the seconds are so much smoother. I recently sold a 312 on here and it was impossible to detect any ticks, that's how buttery smooth the sweep was.
