Hi guys... just got my noob pam 111 v4 with rubber strap and i love it.... i just have 1 concern... are the crown guards supposed to be matte in finish unlike the blezel which is shiny? Ive been seeing pictures of gen crown guards which are shiny same as the blezel... should it be matte or shiny?

Kabayan, it is true, the PAM111 used to have shiny crownguards. It changed to brushed (that's what we call it, not matte) on the H-series, which also saw the switch from sausage to sandwich dial and the movement decoration switch back from the "PANERAI PANERAI PANERAI" graffiti decoration to the Cote de Geneves (CdG) decoration you know see in current models. :)

It changed to brushed on the gen first, siyempre. :lol: But since the factories' job is to replicate, then H-series PAM111 reps onwards also changed to the brushed crown guards. ;)

Looks great! I ordered the same watch about a month ago but was told that it wasn't available... Maybe it's time to re-order!

Warren,
Good looking watch! I'm going to hang on to the original strap for now. I am waiting for my red and blue crocs to come in now.

It is the watch position or the 4,5,10,11 hour markers look wider than 1,2,7, 8 ?

LOL!!! It's an optical illusion caused by the angle of the crystal in relation to the eye, and the light being shadowed in the dial cutouts due to the angle. ;-)

You can really see the effect of this illusion while looking at the "2" in the 12 position. It really brings this out in this posted pic.
It makes the left upper tip of the "2" appear very narrow, the body very wide, and the horizontal tail of the "2" again look narrow. When in reality, they are all pretty much the same.

Ohh, it means I'm a retarded. Sorry just saw this now. First time using a forum of any kind but I am getting better, certainly couldn't get any worse.
