Hey guys,

I bought this for $100, head only. And while it was state as a PAM 305 I noticed that it said "CERAMICA" instead of "AUTOMATIC". Is this some other PAM I'm not aware of or is it in fact a 305 with the wrong dial? Any feedback is appreciated.

Looks like a hodgepodge to me.
Has the looks of the 305, dial says ceramica that's not correct and the caseback looks like the one from the 389. That and the date heel being completely wrong looks like someone out a lot of spares together to make this one.

But if you like it then it's not a problem.

Wrong dial, arent all ceramica models black to begin with? 305 casing with unknown back case.

Wrong, wrong, wrong... But looks like a Pam so just enjoy. I've spend $100 on more silly stuff than this one

Without researching on the Internet I would think it is another PAM submersible model and never know it´s not:) Without the 305 reference to know what to look for, I could even look forever. I like the large seconds subdial on it.

Well, just try to look for "amagnetic" as inscripted on the caseback... The square date window is also a little tell tale, this one is not really close to gen and I am wondering what part is ceramic... Just saying....
