Getting my first replica: PAM104

[Saintleo]

Hi everyone,

I've been reading around the forum for some information on reputable sellers and so I have some questions about buying a replica PAM 104, which maybe some of the members here could shed some light on this issue for me.

1) I noticed most reputable sellers are selling PAM 104s for about 400 USD, is 400 USD the norm for a replica PAM 104?

2) Are there are reputable dealers that offer an accurate replica for say around 250 USD?

3) I found through google that there is a website called www.audermarspiguetoak.com and www.sinowatches.com selling a pretty nicely replicated PAM104 for only 295 USD and 250 USD respectively.

However I did notice that Sinowatches's PAM 104 has a little flaw ( I THINK ) if you look at the picture of their PAM 104, the "L SWISS MADE L" is seperated by the number 6, while at audermarspiguetoak.com, it isn't seperated. And upon looking at my friends real PAM104, the "L SWISS MADE " isn't seperated by the 6.

Well to me as of right now, www.audermarspiguetoak.com looks to be selling the right one for me, but I've read from the forum that there are tons of dubious scam sites out there and what concerns me is that, this might be another one of them, using pictures of a real PAM 104 to coax people into buying from them.

So any feed back ?

there is a trusted dealers list. it is on the main page; just scroll down. the pam people say the cartel "ultimate 104 is the best" any of the TD's can get it. davidsen's is cheaper but they say it is not as good. good luck to you. and welcome

It really is a jungle out there when it comes to rep dealers. If the dealers you're looking at aren't trusted here or at any of the other rep forums, do yourself a favor and steer clear.

It's just not worth it.

Hey and thanks for the feed back, but being new to this world of rep watches, I'm abit unfamiliar with the term cartel "ultimate 104 is the best" haha sorry :x

http://www.puretimewatch.com/product/pam104-ultimate-edition-improved/ currently I am looking at this watch.

I did notice that this company has the option to regulate and waterproof the watch, for an extra 40 USD, does any one have any comments on that?

And would any one know where puretimewatch.com is from?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the warning I'll stick to puretimewatch.com for my future PAM104

My advice would be to get the watch in your hands as quickly and cheaply as you can, then do whatever servicing you need done locally or through one of the watchsmiths on the boards. You have no way of knowing what will actually be done(or not) to the watch, and will probably need to have it tested to verify anyway...

Puretime is trustworthy, and one of my favorite dealers, but IMO better to have the work done where it can be verified...
