Best Submersible?

[plymman]

I've always been a fan of the base luminor models but have recently fallen for the submersibles which I know nothing about.

Can anyone recommend (A) what is the most accurate submersible? and (B) What is the best value bang for buck?

Any help greatly appreciated as I know very little about the tells and details of these models.

I personally like the 024....

024 is nice, 199, arktos. Any of the ultimate models and DSN. All will need relume, T48, and Taka DW to be the BEST...for that your right around 700...

That's a whole lot of work.... I was hoping there'd be something at least somewhere near the quality of a 177/288k. Maybe I need to wait this out and keep an eye out on the classifieds instead. It's like returning back to the days when I was making my 111 perfect! I think we've been a bit spoilt with the quality lately.....

I don't really like the ARKTOS personally. I like the subs but right now I am concentrating on my 177 project.

You could possibly find one already modded fairly priced on the forums if you just keep an eye out.

We all have. I mean the subs alone for the ultimates are 400 with shipping. tack on a T48 which is a must. DW and relume could wait.

pam 194 new construction? or the same bezel with falling numbers?

 

[frigpig]

Don't know if it's a new factory. All I know is they havn't been around for a long time and now my dealers says he is getting them from the "noob" factory.

I don't know how good this info is as the term "noob" factory is as overused as "radical" was in the 90's

This numbers on the bezel are soldered on. When it gets here I'll inspect them and probably resolder them if I deem it necessary.

I'll wait till the watch gets here and do a review before I let that info out. You can PM me if you can't wait.

from which dealer are you gonna get it?

Does anyone have any idea if the PAM225 will be back in production soon? Or the PAM202? With A7750?
