@cptkirk: Yeah mine has the greenish numbers and markers too, it's not too green so I'm ok with it. :)

Did flatten the CG pin and now looks better. :)

Thanks, Madcatlancelot. Good to hear. The numbers has a slight greenish tint but not too dark. But, you can tell that its not white.

I do have to sand down the CG pin and also a small pc of the metal on the CG itself. Looking at the picture above you can see part of the metal that is high and the wheel snags on it. Not a big deal and a little sanding cant take care of.

Over all the watch is beautiful. I cant wait till I get my A2 strap from Tootall and the logo buckle.

Guys, thanks for all of yor help.

The rep dial numbers/markers are usually too green and a dead giveaway.

Here's a comparison of mine with the gen. Note how my numbers are too green compared to the almost white gen.

Mine is being relumed to fix that.

well this kind of sausage dial is tricky. I've seen folks that have tried to do it themselves and it's all uneven and crooked. From what I've heard the man for this job is Vac (where mine is right now).

Special thanks to everyone for their help and input.
Update on the PAM005. New A2 strap from Tootall and Pam buckle with logo from Alvinado. I sanded and used hot glue on the CG pin and now the lever feels nice and tight. I’m sure, in do time, I will either need to apply more hot glue or do a better mod and drill out a hole and add a rubber o ring. For now I just want to wear and enjoy this watch.
Thanks again everyone.

Congrats Cptkirk, nice combo with the A2.

Is it me or it doesn't looks like the same than madcatlancelot bought from Trevor ? Not exactly same logo, number thicker ( the "6" ) Your 005 looks more like the one from Hont. Or maybe my eyes are not full waked up ^^

This one is from Trevor.
I love it.


Ok, than maybe Trevor send different one, in fact yours is the one i prefer :)

Look at this 3 pics:

cdocumentsandsettingsme.jpg
==> it's the one which is on Trevor's site


kirklogo.jpg
==> Now yours

The "6" and the logo are definitely not the same , your 005 is more like the same that Hont sell :

I also compare to madcatlancelot's 005 and i think he's got the one from Trevor site pics, but when zooming on madcatlancelot's pics found in his review... too much pixels to post it

In fact i should receive mine from Hont soon. It's just seeing your pics & comparing them with the link of 005's madcatlancelot + trevor & the pics hont send me about my watch...i was thinking your is like the same Hont send me.

No big deal, i just thought it was kind of a funny end since you said in this thread:
Great. Now i learned this after buying one from Trevor.
The most important part is the education and having fun.

And it appears that you finally got the "better one" :)
