Just in home... PAM251 from Andrew.

[gianton]

My second rep just arrived well before New Year's Eve. Great business with Andrew once again. Thank you sir and a Happy New Year to you and your family!

The watch is my first Pam and first big watch ever purchased. It feels and weighs great and is nice on my wrist (I am quite tall 1,92m). The date changes from the 10:00 pusher so I presume the movement is the real Swiss 7753 Valjoux. One thing I noticed is that I cannot hear the ticking of the movement as loud as my IWC Mark XV with the Swiss ETA 2824-2.

Some quick photos:

If it were, this rep would have cost you about $800 or so.

 

[gianton]

Correct I paid $833 for it delivered to Greece.

An unusual choice and an unusual price :shock:
Wear it well!

The 250/251s are two of my favorites.

But I think that's been obvious to everyone around here (see avatar)

Nice watch. 7753. That's high roller rep territory. At least you're getting some quality in that movement. The date pusher function is nice too!

I like quality over quantity. I do not plan to make a huge collection of rep watches. A couple more that I want would be more than good for me anyway.

Price is $798 from TrustyTime and $35 shipping cost to Greece. The Swiss 7753 makes the difference. I hope it will work with no probs for some years.

aha, sounds like me about 6 months ago, when I made my first order. 9 reps later, so here we are...
welcome-- its addicting.

Well nobody knows time will tell!

The Daylight is a great choice, even better with the Swiss 7753! Very nice pick-up enjoy it

I too am planning to sell my surplus Pams and get one or two "super"-models. Luckily I´m not into chronos and will live happily with a Swiss Unitas!

Nice, a swiss 251. I didn't realize he still had those.

I would have the back off that "puppy" right away to make sure of the contents!!....
You gotta REALLY like a $798.00 rep!!... :shock: :shock: :shock:

 

[gianton]

Are there any movements besides the Swiss 7753 Valjoux that you change the date from the 10:00 pusher?

How can I take the back off without scratching it?

Davidsen has tools for the removal of the back case cover for Panerais. There are also rubber balls made for this purpose.

By the way, that watch is simply fabulous, and the quality over quantity approach is the way to go for sure Trustys higher priced reps are
extremely good quality and when you remove the back, you will find that it is what you were told. No worries and congrats.

 

[gianton]

Thanks for your reply m8.

I will contact DSN for the tool. The watch is great in every aspect, I get some nice compliments wearing it as well. 2nd day and is accurate 100% (1 or 2 secs +/-).

Auch, trustie has no stock for this baby i gotta wait for another few days for him to get back to me.

one thing i notice is that it is far easier to interchange strap with white dials than the black dials Which is why i'm gunning for this white baby.

 

[gianton]

It's worth while waiting m8, believe me. In the end you will wear a great watch! The movement is great keeps perfect time 7 days and only lost 8 secs.

 

[phoenixgod]

i'm in love with the blue straps from hktan to go with the 251 but it only comes in 22mm size. wonder if he would make me a special 24mm

 

[gianton]

Here are some pictures of the movement:

Could anyone advise if this is a real Swiss 7753 Valjoux?
