Hi

I took the plunge on a PAM320, which looks sweet (see attached photos). I am not too bothered about it being perfect cosmetically in every way - it looks gorgeous enough to me. However I want the watch to perform to acceptable levels.

I have looked at various generic explanations of timegrapher data, and it seems to me the Amplitude and Beat Error values are within acceptable levels. However the Rate value is +12 sec/day (I am assuming "+012" is +12 and not +0.12?) and the Lift Angle is 53 degrees. I heard somewhere that if the lift angle is not correct the rest of the data may not be representative enough. Could someone please confirm:

1. Is 53 degrees an acceptable lift angle for an Asian 7750 auto 28800 movement? (I cannot find this info anywhere on the web.)
2. Is +12 sec/day an acceptable rate for these movements? (If it means I will lose 1 minute every 5 days, I would say that is perfectly OK... My friend's gen Rolex Submariner goes out by that much within a day!) Does+12 sec/day on the timegrapher translate into +12 sec/day on the hand, or will it be more/less?
3. Finally, could anyone confirm if the movement is Shanghai or Liaoning 28000 (I suspect Liaoning)? I hear Liaoning is not as good as Shanghai but is it "acceptable" enough?

Thanks in advance!

Please don't get insane with your rep!!

12 sec/day is almost a certiified cronometer
The rest is OK for a rep. and for many gens

Hi ALE

Thanks for the response. To be welcomed by the person who wrote that amazing Panerai guide - awesome! :)

Your advice is very sensible. I think we can sometimes get lost in too much detail and that takes the fun out of things.

Muchas gracias
