Can anyone tell me about my PAM 243?

Can anyone tell what maker & version my PAM 243 is? This is one of my favorite watches and I love how this thing has aged.

Could be a HFac, you can take a look at the Pam Review Guide to get more information.

But hey, a 246x432px picture is not the best basis for a serious expertise ;-)

Add a couple pictures of the caseback, closer/ clearer view of the dial and indicators will also help but as JB pointed out, Ale's guide will be a helpful source.

Hello. As the commenters above noted, a better quality photo, a photo of the CB and a profile of the case will be required. In this form, the bezel and markers are reminiscent of the HF, although the pearl looks yellowed, which usually happened with NOOBs in the first batches of the M series.

One way or another, it is noticeable that this is one of the quality options.

One of the easiest ways to quickly identify, if you don’t go into the bezel plane bend, the chamfers, the specifics of the finish, the valve device, the AR crystal and the shape of the lume application, then the most efficient way is to look at the tip of the lug, from the back. HF has a "shelf" on NOOB it is not and the end is simply pointed. (Of course, when we talk about the M series for both L dials, without going into the version number).

I kinda went down a rabbit hole today while at work and had to fish out some old photos. I'll update this thread with some better pics when I get home and can take some. Thanks guys. I didn't realize these pics were so small. I got them from my google photos backup.

Yeah, I didnt realize it was that small when I posted. I'll be trying that again later.

 

[daytona4me]

Let me try this again.

I think it is a HF model. A really quick way to tell is to check the serial number on Pam Guard. HF numbers were usually correct for the watch and yours is identified as a 243. Noob numbers very rarely were correct.

 

[KOT1917]

Yes, I think it's HF V1.

I agree with above comments
It is a Hfac V1
