hey guys

just wanted to post some thoughts on my first PAM i got recently. This is an asian 111h from silix. i have been reading this forum for a little while now. never thought of myself as a PAM guy but like most of you , I have grown to love them. I am still a newb so im not exactly sure about all the exact flaws that come with PAMS. truthfully, if shown pixs of a 100 dollar PAM and a davidson, I probably wouldnt know the difference half of the time. That being said, here are some of my observations.

- The watch is light! i own a bentley on a leather strap and a 44.5mm PO. i understand that these are big heavy watches but the PAM feels almost cheap on my wrist. I understand the watch is on a cheap rep strap but do all PAMs feel light?

- Besides the lightness, the actual watch looks pretty solid (when strap is taken off) everything seems to be build great.

- MOST impressive thing abou the watch is the AR. it more than makes up for the lightness. This watch glows blue way more than my UPO? For around 100 bucks??? its simply amazing.

- Lume is decent when charged but fades away in minutes. I guess i might step up to a davidson or something because im starting to lust after the lume. hahhaha

- i distressed the strap witrh bleech and scuffed it up with a comb. let me know what you think.

- overall, great watch for the value ! i think im sprung now. bitten with the PAM bug and starting my quest for the perfect PAM.


Here are the pixs. i really didnt know what i was doing but i think they turned out pretty nice.

You need to get that short canon pin fixed. Just my observation. Aside from that, nice watch. :)
