Finally! My pam213 rattrapante is here!

[mysterio]

Yes I can read it fine in the dark, but it's no skx

One thing i didn't mention in the comparison , was that signature 'S' shape reflections on the bezel are correct with the vsf , on the HF it tends to make straight lines

Yep, it's in the excellent case review by @ALE7575 .

 

[Gavinelli]

Great video thanks for sharing. I can't believe this is a rep with a function like like that, I'm really impressed. Hope it serves you well for a long time

OOft that is bloody gorgeous

 

[Subman]

thanks everyone ! , hopefully this one will be a keeper !

 

[Norrie]

yeah nah it's all good , there is a reason they don't hold their value very well

Besides , if I had a Ferrari I might consider one

I think even the radiomir models are all exhibition

I'm with you but for others…

You think he didn't get what I said by- yeah nah ?

I'm sure he did

Actually I didn't since although I do have a passing command of the English language and figures of speech, the urbandictionary unfortunately isn't one of my go to references. :lmao:

Gen I wouldn't even bat an eye. But reps? I would definitely keep that same eye out.

let me see if I understood , if you where spending gen money you wouldn't consider the 'fer' models , but if it was a rep in order to put the rattrapante movement in due to the closed case back you would definitely consider it ?

 

[Subman]

I looked up the fer models you mentioned , and they are not closed , just some mesh But you can still see the column wheel

Stunning watch!! Congrats OP.

The 212 and 213 and by far my favourite PAMs of all time.

Here's my 212 for comparison:

Hey thanks mech500!

I had a pam212 and and it is a great piece !

Ok,
I figure if it's going to break I might as well break it now, using the split second now what must be close to 100 times , still resets perfect , like a rifle !

Shape of domed crystal

Case back , unique serials ?

Is that what you were referring to when you said "Yeah Nah"?

Or if you were just asking, I would definitely not consider buying gen money on FER models, but I would consider buying reps of these watches if they had the working rattrapante movement. I actually didn't check the images of the models I mentioned (I just have them on a list on my computer) because all of the 3-4 models I previously checked all had closed casebacks and I presumed all the watches had closed casebacks. I stand corrected after checking google. These Rattrapante models do have exhibition casebacks. Even if they aren't 100% accurate to the gen movement, the working rattrapante function would probably dissuade most anyone to question the authenticity of the watch. Plus the mesh helps to obscure any glaring inaccuracies.

 

[Subman]

Yes , No , we understand each other perfectly !

Hey Tell me about gen crystals and how easy they are to find:sFun_mischieviousbi

 

[GWT#1]

just a risk I took in ordering it as soon as I heard about the complication while everyone was still digesting the price , maybe it is lucky , but hey the jury is still out , lets see if it's working 12mnths haha

The only other rep I own is the TC Lv extreme , which you can also no longer get

Oh and the pam212 is walkerDH's , I'm sending it back to him on Monday

Wow and you are special how?

 

[Subman]

Wow and you are special how?

Did I say I'm special?

Just saying lucky I ordered straight away

 

[Subman]

I've thoroughly exhausted using the rattrapante function , I'll give it a rest for now lol

After resetting the chrono countless times here are how the hands line up with each other and to the 12 o'clock marker.

You've got to be happy with that

 

[Micha-IN]

still waiting for mine.... :cryingbadly:

 

[Subman]

You might want to open a ticket , or ask for a refund ... but if you reeeeeaaaalllly want the watch you'll have to wait, no other choice.

I feel for ya, i waited a month or two until it came in , I actually asked for a refund, and only then things started moving.

 

[Micha-IN]

of course I'm in direct contact with Andrew... "they working on it"

You can't open a ticket on a non-TD.
