Maybe you guys can help me out. They look very similar, so far I am leaning towards the 253 because of the blue needle hehe. Also I am not sure where to buy it. It was alot more simple buying my pvd pam because everyone agrees davidsen is the man when it comes to pvd pam :lol: Both trustytime and perfect clones sells these replicas. Which one is better, and what is the difference betwhen them? I am going with the Asia 7750 28800 movement I think, is that a little bit better than the regular asian 7750?

I bought my 253 from Sash5 and couldn't be happier. See my dealer review.

The 253 Regatta rep is much closer to gen. If you're really hung up on 212, I'd wait for the next rep version if I were you 8)

cheers,

BOTH!!!!! :lol:

They are both nice, the Pam212 has a more classy look,
while the Pam253 has a more sporty look.

I have the Pam212 with Asia7750.
I am waiting for the Pam253, Asia7750 with AR coating!
But I think I will change the rubber strap that comes with it,
for a black leather one, that I have from Davidsen!

In any case, you can't go wrong with any of them!!!
:wink:

I love my 212 - but the dial has some flaws. And I know I'd love a 253 - agree, it's sporty - but less classic, IMO.

Both is best!

253 Definite.

Blue needle. Cant argue much against that.

Waffle dial. Delicious.

Exact same watch but with 2 'extras'. :)

Okay so I have my mind set on the 253 8)

Although i don't like the rubber strap that comes with the whatch so I have going to have to replace it with something else.

The last strap I bought was from smat and it was sick siCK_SIICK_!
So I was looking through his photo album and there is this exotic strap that keeps calling my name. It is the green/black snake python strap.



My only concern is I can't figure out if it super cool, or ugly. It's like one of those things where it is good or bad, nothing in between :p What do you guys think? Would it look feminine? Out of place, wrong?

Or I could go with a blue croc strap, that would go nicely with the blue needle I think:


Do you guys have any other ideas for a strap for the pam 253?

Black sharkskin with blue stitching? Not a huge fan of the snakeskin straps. Although HKTan has a red/black python that I think would look FANTASTIC on the right watch...

Hehe I actually stole the bob blue strap from an old post you made snielsen :twisted:
You also had I picture of this strap, the strap works 1860 Navy with OP blue stitching
http://www.strap-works.com/1860BLCA-04.jpg

The site says the is size 120/80mm length, can you get it in bigger than that? Because I think that is too small for my wrist :(

What is this strap, anybody knows?:

253 sounds like a good choice. Good looking, goes well with the strap. Anyway, the 212 has its own merit. Very classy IMHO, more suitable for a dressy watch.

I will go with the new 253 with the nicer (I mean closer to gen) wordings on the rotor. And the waffle surface, just love it. What I worry is the regatta blue color looks like the gen one, I just looked at the gen one today, hope my memory is still there when I go and buy a nice 253 rep...
