Hey all!
hope you’re all well .
i’m looking to find someone who can build a pam87
are there any people who specialise in these builds?
as the H factory ones are no longer in production.
i’d love to be able to do a build with someone !
let me know if anyone could help out :)

Mate i think its nearly impossible to get all the right details and engravings…
Maybe @Natas78 could help with an “Homage”…

It may be more economical and certainly quicker if you purchase the gen; you can buy one for under $6k USD.

The answer is yes only if:
- You can source a HF 087 caseset, a homage watch is possible but i haven't seen someone went this route [maybe such homage doesn't exist]
- Hands should be easier to source, hands on my 064 was damaged during transit and my watchsmith was able to quickly source a replacement for me
- Dial will be a pain in the ass, since belkin will not work on such dials with subdial / metal indices, last resort will be natas or custom dial makers

It's all possible, but it's a lot of preparation / work, like @Martycus said, getting a gen will be the quickest and easiest solution, the cheapest one on c24 is $5300usd plus shipping

Or keep an eye out on m2m, they appear once in a while

I have a JKF? Version that you could base this build off of. I got it about a month ago but I’ve grown to like the bettarini case a lot more! I’ll send you a pm

yeah but i’m still unsure as to if it will be good haha
If it were me and I was considering building one, I’d buy the VVS all day long and twice on Tuesday. I suspect once these new ones are in the wild, the OG 087 may start popping up for sale.

do you think the vvs will live up to the OG standards?

From what’s been shared, there are flaws, but it’s not enough to deters many from purchasing. Keep in mind, they are only planning a limited run of this model…
