Anyone knows how to change the strap of PAM661 ?

It's a springbar affair, so you need a springbar tool (or a pushpin for a cork board, which is what I use) for strap changes. :D

exactly, i'm speaking cos I know AP reps...that 1/1.5mm is EVIDENT.

it does not stop us from buying reps but you can't say it is not evident

Well, you know AP reps. Can we say we know PAM reps? ;) [MENTION=28281]PolonusTM[/MENTION] already answered this question which I posted in his review thread and he states that it feels slimmer on the wrist compared to the PAM312. Also, you have to consider that APs are huge watches compared to PAMs, structurally speaking, so a 1.5mm increase would be felt on the APs, but not as much on PAMs. Add to that the correct lug shape of the PAM661 which is longer, making the watch hug your wrist better and the lightweight nature of carbotech and it would make that 1.64mm feel almost negligible. It would probably be a different proposition for the new PAM1312, which has the same difference in height of 1.64mm, but doesn't have the right elongated (and structurally probably lighter) lugs and is made of steel, far heavier than carbotech.

Thanks Polonus for the thickness pic. This is the final truth.

The most important is that the new rep PAM 661 is fitted by a new case trying to get an accurate shape of the case and the lugs. The thickness is not perfect, as you can see in Polonus pic and other comments, it could have about 1,5 to 1,75mm of difference (about a 10%).
On the wrist, if the shape is almost correct, you could forget or not to realize the difference of thickness

IMO PAM 661 could be an approach good enough, but PAM 1312 and 1359 with the old case will be really unacceptable.

The Carbotech pattern of this rep looks also nice

IMO it would be very difficult to get a Super rep status but we can consider it as a First Class, to be considered the grade. Bear also in mind that this rep has no production number on the caseback.

I will see and study, as son as possible, the magnificent Polonus review

It does say QC pics allowed, but i think that was to share the pics with others, not ask for critiquing
