I am in trilemma.

Hi guys. I am pretty new here as I said in the 'welcome' forum.
I came here to RWI while searching for nice PAM empty case for some creative work. :
Well, after some reading and going through the PAM rep review thread I decided to go simpler way and buy a finished watch.

Now there is a question. Which model?

I really prefer the vintage look of radiomir case. So the Pam111 comes right in.
I also love the look of ceramic Pam292.

But I have bought a nice watch in similar style recently. The Maranez Layan made of brass. It's case is 43mm in diameter and it is almost tiny on my wrist.

I also got a Glycine Incursore secondhand which has kindy similarly looking dial as the PAM111:

So maybe it is a time to buy something different?

Another thing bugging me quite a long time is getting a watch with GMT.
So I am considering the Pam029.

I found a thread about Radiomir Pam288k. Very nice watch indeed and it is Radiomir.

I have few questions:

1. Which one would you suggest me to buy?
2. What movement is the best for Pam111? I know the ETA is waste of money. I am after accuracy and reliability.
3. Anybody managed to shatter the ceramic 292? I saw a thread on WUS about somebody cracked the gen when changing a strap. Is the ceramic really that sensitive? If I would buy one, that would be the Noob latest rep and it is quite of money.

Many thanks for looking!

EDIT: Forgot to say, the bigger case the better. I would prefere the 47mm case, but would go with a bit smaller (all my suggestions are smaller, I know).

If you want something large ang different, try a noob 127 such a great pam a great rep and should be no worries

Thank you. I somehow overlooked it in the review thread.

You can't go wrong with the 111N V3 from the Noob factory. It's a nice watch.

 

[JoehwrfcJ]

Many other vendors out there, but such a great watch really is worth the wait, I'm going to get on as soon as it comes into stock

You should consider a PAM 127 or 217
Also is big PAM 187 and PAM 305
Radiomir PAM 288 very nice big and accurate.

Thank you ALE.

I have narrowed my thinking to two models.

1. noob Pam127
2. Pam 288

pam380 from h factory, ss case so you dont have to worry about ceramic, same size as 292,288, manual handwind movement ( better accuracy )
