How good is PAM 104 ?

[mans_7266]

Hi guys, I'm thinking of getting a PAM 104 from Josh or Andrew (Asia 7750b1)...
Could anyone tell me what the issues are with this one VS the gen so at least I know what I'm getting into?
Also, do you know if anyone is selling this one with a swiss movement?
thanks a lot in advance for your help...

Geeee! scary :? thanks a lot for this Klink!
What would you say is a good PAM auto? I'd like to start my auto collection with a good one...

ok, did my homework....seems like 063 with corrected cyclop and new datewheel is the way to go...

I've read several posts stating that the current 092 arktos model by angus is the best auto w/date pam rep out there.

Dont have it myself but I have read a lot as I too was looking for the best auto pam rep to get and I honestly only saw about 2 that had a good date mag/font, all the others regardless of everything else have a date mag/font thats just really bad IMHO.

Cant remember what model was the other good one I saw, as I decided to stick to manual wind for now.
