But still guys, just a question here… What about PAM243? I thought so far that this should be like the must have “starting point” when it comes to Subersibles… Am I wrong? Also, I consider PAM285 a must have as well (even if it is like a different/alternative approach from PAM187 mentioned previously).

Sure but a 243 is tightly held as well. Best version is the mythical Nokb v3 (really the last batch of v2) . More likely to find one of the earlier versions or a H Factory. Still, they do come up M2M and if you move quickly you will eventually score one.

Captaindim don't let them discourage you! :D

A lot of these watches can be found if you are consistent in being present on the forum and m2m section. What helps for sure is the "supporter" or even "patron" status since many old members/supporter/patrons that treasure this kind of old school/sold out watches prefer to deal between with them..

Disclaimer : the photo is for reference only, none of the displayed watches are for sale


Well, a bottomless pit of money does help if you want to go dadog's way. :lol: Still he's not wrong, having special status can help somewhat, although participating in discussions also adds to your street cred.

243, 064, 087, 024, 025, 187, 225, 202, 285, 364, 382, ​​508, 569, 571, 607, 616 these are all excellent sub, also everything (except for 616) is not produced now. However, you can't go wrong with any of them. Just get at least one, and then you will understand what you are missing, what you like and what not. In addition, on the website of any eTD you can see the subscriptions from VSF currently available. And then it's a matter of taste. Many do not like cyclops, I am not attracted to chronographs, my friend loves any sub if he has numbers on the dial and not sticks, and another thinks that only steel is an acceptable material. Get started. And then further, an opinion will be formed, and an experience will appear that will allow you to make the next purchase.

Well said! Thank you very much!

Great offer indeed! Still, in the meantime, I managed to find one in a trusted TD and payment is already on the way. This offer unfortunately came later, so… it will cost me more than your offer… Can’t go back now….:bang:

Mine is not for sale but for trade only and against only specific references. You did good to buy one if a TD managed to find it. Post some photos once you get it, will be interested what kind of old stock the TD managed to find.

Did you buy pam508 from TD?

not yet... I found one in a trusted TD but everything is under process... I have already deposited payment but for some reason they don't see my payment in their accounts. Today I have reverted back via email with proof screenshot of my transaction payment and they told me they will check again on Monday....

Sorry, I misunderstood as I thought it was not only for trade. I will gladly post photos when I get it!

You paid without checking if it's still in stock? Oh well, I hope the watch is indeed in stock.

Oh no, first I sent an email to the TD asking for the availability. He replied back that the watch is indeed available so afterwards I procceded with the payment. But for some reason the TD doesn't see yet my deposit in his account... He said he will get back to me on Monday. I hope everything goes fine...
