Need Help on PAM088 Purchase

[csnyde01]

Hi All, as I said in my initial post, thanks to everyone who's posted all this incredible information. It's amazing, truly amazing.

I've done several searches, also read several posts, and I know the PAM088 is the watch I want. The question I have is, which TD is best? Forgive me in advance if I get this wrong, but I believe PT02 has one I like and Asian has another. There's about a 25% price difference and I didn't want to post any links in the even that's not acceptable but could via PM if someone could point me in the right direction. I'm just looking for the best quality and frankly, I'm just WAY too new to this to determine which is better - even after reading the vast information available. I'm still stumped!

TDs will most likely source you the same watch. If you see more than one variant in one TD, then make sure it is exactly the same model (based on specifications), it might be a less desirable variation that is cheaper than 25% so it's better if you post the links of the two TDs since that's not forbidden.

Puretime's one doesn't appear to have the silver sundial which is a worry.

This is the one you want but I'm not sure it's in stock unless they've done a new batch recently.

THanks Norrie, makes a lot more sense now. Now I'm wondering wth the "ultimate edition" is all about? I've emailed Asian for some pics as I'm looking to buy a few, so I'll let you know what I find out regarding the batch.

Not surprising as that particular watch is from Sept 5, 2008. :lol:

The ultimate edition is all marketing talk. The ultimate edition/1:1/best edition is a gen. Just ask the TDs about the link that Norrie posted and you should be good.

Your best bet is a 088 H Factory since the Noob seems to be out of stock.

Thanks Immo, I reached out to the TD's and am waiting to hear back.

Thanks all, Asian had the PAM088 so i scooped it up, along with a few other goodies. I'll share when i get them

Why Noob O version is out of stock?
