Daylight Question

[mjywatchguy]

I am looking at the Daylight chronos on Joshua's site. In terms of the PAM196 and PAM 250, is the only difference the dial, i.e, one has numbers, and one does not? Which one is more accurate? I am looking at both with the stainless bracelet.
Thanks!

then get a 250 if you want it accurate with a SS bracelet

The 250 replaces the 196 this year. Get the one you like most.

Great, thanks for the info

I'm also thinking of buying a 196 Daylight and there is some discouraging news, the current Pam chronos have cases that are not correctly shaped.
The old ones were better, but the factory that made them closed down.

So now I'm thinking - do I want to spend $700 ( I do not like the asian 7750) on a watch that is a step backwards in accuracy?

I was looking at both the Swiss and Asian 7750's actually, but I guess it does not matter if the case is not correct. How off is it, and when was this change made? Is it readily noticeable?

If you have to ask I guess its not a problem right?

the real chronos had bezels that were roughly the same shape and size as the normal bezels but most of the newer chrono cases have a bezel thats beveles out from the crystal to its widest point and then bevels back in again before contacting the case. If the bezel was like this on a 111 nobody would buy them but for some reason its ok to buy a chrono rep this way :roll: I got my 196 for $40.00 so I can't complain

I don't know about any other differences I'm not a pam junkie....yet...

Thanks for the explanation, OldeCrow. If I got a 196 for $40 I would be happy too! If you ever want to unload it, let me know.

I'm not completely sue about this but, I also read that the lugs are not the right shape or angle anymore, is that correct?

i will take the 196 for $40.00!!
