My first automatic: Noob Pam 164 (pics)

[Bozz]

I've got a lot of pammies, 25 or 30. All hand-wind. Noob Pam 164O is my first automatic. Bought from a member on RG, the watch is in mint conditions.
I'm surprised for the high quality, very close to the gen. The dial structure is accurate. The watch is very nice and versatile. I'm satisfied.

Hey Bozz!

If you're looking for "something else" from PAM autos, try the PAM 356 as well. True super rep, just as the 164, and it is so different with its vintage daylight structure and the sandblasted case. You won't regret it.

Enjoy this nice piece

Great piece, you have a lot to be satisfied of

I don't have an automatic Luminor, I always wondered is the case thicker than those with manual movement?

Yes Karesz, I agree. 356 is in my wish list and I lost two opportunities recently (one from the same guy who sold the 164). Pam 356 is the only chrono that I like.

Yes mate, the case shape is similar to the Noob V3, maybe same dimensions. If you like the Bettarini case, you can considere the Noob Pam 299 from Toro, a great watch and a cheap price.

Bozz very very nice watch!!!!! Congrats!!!!

 

[Bozz]

Thanks mate. I bought it for chance. Not I had in my mind this purchase. Very well on my wrist, very nice.

 

[ALE7575]

Very different from other PAMs and besides the contrast polished bezel-brushed case looks really nice

ALE

 

[Bozz]

I agree. My 164 and my usual finishes, bezel and cg polished again and recessed cg pin.

 

[Bozz]

Other combos, canvas on leather and NATO

I agree. My 164 and my usual finishes, bezel and cg polished again and recessed cg pin.

Do you use a machine for your re-polish or is it done by hand?
The effect is impressive

 

[Bozz]

My work is done by hand mate. Using a machine you risk to alter the case and shape. I use it only if there are deep damages.

Last pics!

Great photos, I have enjoyed them all! Thanks so much Bozz!

I would like to get my hands on this particular color croc strap, but dont want to spend much. Wifey going crazy lately with my last few purchases I may have to unload a watch or two so I can buy some quality straps.

 

[Bozz]

Thank you mate, welcome. This strap was made from one of my friends a years ago. The hide is no longer available, sorry.

If you want to keep it on a budget did you check Panatime?
