Bought two rep Pam's - quick question about differences

[jpohl402]

I'm sure some of the members here have these models,
so my question is - what are the FLAWS in these compared to the originals ?
I would simply like to be aware what is different from the Gen's.... (i.e. shorter second hands, crown shape, etc)

Thanks in advance!

the second one does not exist in gen form. it is a fantasy. closest to it would be the pam114

The first watch is a First Class rep, but beeing K-series could have the problem in lugs-case of this series. Be careful. Read The PAM REVIEW-GUIDE.
But better purchase would have been a M-series from H maker


The second one is a low quality fantasy replica based in PAM 113 with solid caseback instead of Display one, in order to hide a completely inaccurate cheap movement Asian 21J instead of Unitas 6497.
Bad crystal, horrible CG and lever (see side pic), bad dial, bad strap... poor quality case and bezel. There is no corresponding gen watch to this model. Sorry, but really a dispensable purchase.


Next time, read a little more or consult in the forum before buying them

Uhhh the white one - 113 I thought it was...?
With a diff strap of course


OK thanks for clearing up ALE.
You have a ton of knowledge. Truly appreciate it sir.
I AM aware of the Rad lug problem -
Could the Panatime lug set fix this issue entirely ($30 I believe) ?
Thx

Thanks for your comments
PAM 113- Yes it is a commun problem with the replicas not only PAM. Dealers don't say completely the true, and people buys withoiut coirrect information.
PAM 292-Unfortunately the issue I think is a problem of case not of lugs.
Just be careful !!

Does anyone on the forum here have the exact 292 K edition that I bought ?
(and can chime in on the lug durability ?)

I had the 292k and experienced the lug problem. This is NOT an issue with the lug bars. The case is two parts, ceramic and PVD coated SS section. They do not use the correct glue to bond the two so it comes apart.

However, one of our watchsmiths (Wiz in France) has sourced the correct compound for sticking ceramic to SS and can perform the repair should it be needed.

Interesting info
To include in the PAM GUIDE
Thanks Bones
