I wish the PAM 183 was reissued

[ebzen02]

Just saying.. we need more 42-45mm radiomirs especially the classic 183.. such classy dress watches wish they would put another run.

This was a similar model to my first purchase BEFORE I found this forum. I paid $150 for a canal street special from a no-name dealer. First two pics are of the canal street shitter posing as a PAM 388.

Meanwhile a couple years later and three other PAM styles, I got a Radiomir vintage piece that is closely to what I was after with the 388.

Aside from TDs, you can keep a close tab on M2M for these models.

I assume you know PC (NO TD) here. If I'm not mistaken, when I talked with them for a couple of months, they still had a bunch of them.

Beautiful watch. The problem is with Panerais is when wearing a shirt or suit I find them too bulky.

I feel like a watch with a thinner profile works well. But nothing beats a Panerai with a shirt or wool sweater.

183 is quite thin, it wears just fine with a suit imho

Oh, okay! I didn’t realise. Good to know!

I remember I had such a comparison 183 with 346...

Not exactly suitable angles and situations, but you will understand how different 45mm radiomirs can be, while titanium always looks smaller.

I’ll definitely check with him or Li

I have mailed a ton of TD in the past (approx. a year ago) without any result. I don’t think there is any stock left of these models of Radiomir. Hoping as well that one day they will be made again. Let us know if you got an answer, thx!

I bought a PAM243 HF from PC in the fall and he reported over 183 in stock.

Wow! Then he could lower the prices ;-)

They misunderstood me, and I also lied, it was KW (Not TD). I took the last 243, but he said that there were still a lot of 183. Write to Mehmed, clarify this if you are interested.

Ok, thanks for the info. How was your experience with KW? Read different experiences with them.

This is on my list of must haves

I received QC the next day, gave it to GL, waited a couple of weeks for shipment (there is a problem in China that there may not be counterfeit products outside the country, and sometimes it doesn’t work the first time), and then everything is as always.
Oh yes, he offered payment options convenient for my country. This is not typical for TDs...
Yes, there was a scratch on my accordion, but Mehmet himself said, he himself added a second tunnel as a gift and a regular rep panerai screwdriver.

In general, everything is as always, I use it sometimes, but do not forget that Kurvasit is not a TD on RWI, and everything I describe is only my positive experience.

Hont told me he had HF 183 nos back in December. Have u checked?

Too bad KW stopped producing Pam reps, they were serious challenger to old Noob and HF back in the days.

Regarding wearability, IMO the 183 is an elegant watch to wear with a suit or a shirt.

Agreed.Very elegant and versatile, thanks to its aesthetic simplicity and sleek shape. Also it is quite slim for a Pam

So that everyone understands each other correctly. KW = Kurvasit, i.e., the dealer from whom I purchased the PAM243 HF salley, and he still has stock PAM183 which was also the origin of the HF factory. The KW/V6F factory never made the PAM183. This was done only by JF, which can be easily distinguished by the green lume, bad cushion angles, other serial numbers and many deficiencies.

 

[mrsullivan]

Yep, KW (Kuvarsit) were producing good Luminor case models, I don't know what Radiomir range they worked on though.
They are only dealing for years now (I bought my 1rst rep to them) and not TD here (barely on sister forums).

Back to the topic, I had project to get my Hfac 183 worked by Marlin but he was off work for months and I ended up selling it (sadly, as I actually got an email from him a couple of months ago, he seems back at work). IMO Marlin's work is the last step to a Superrep/NWBIG 183.

Who knows if a new 183 production would be on an acceptable quality level for such a work...
