Mates,

Have been looking for a PAM187, finally I found this PAM187 ( priced around 200 USD).

It is with the 7750 movement but suppose G series - as it does not have the recessed & concentric subdials, and 1000 font is in darker blue.

My main concern is about the 30 min marker on the bezel - the numbers to me seems slanted.:r2d4:

What do you think - will appreciate your view:cheers:

The number 3 does look slanted. The top and bottom curves on the 3 should be equidistant from the 0.

Mates,

Thanks for your views - "30" is not acceptable
As regards the remark about endless issues - shall I really leave it :wyliehelp:
I am tempted for PAM187 and cannot hold myself:(

Looking at the date windows, it seems a very old A7750 @ 21.600 bph.
Make attention because it feel a bit fragile...

Bozz,
You are right - it is a 21.600 bph :(
How about yours - is it the same or the newer so called 7750B1 with 28.800 bph.
Also being fragile - is it only about the movement or in general covering the rest. I read in one of threads a mate talking about numbers becoming off from the bezel, date wheel failure...:goat:
It looks as if it will be a short romance then:facepalm:

I have this 7750 version and I'm pretty satisfied with it. Sure, as BMW said, it has some flaws but it's a nice watch nevertheless and I don't know if I would pay $450 for 7753 version. All I can complain about is sunken date wheel and a bit loose bezel but I still love it. :)

And numbers that coming off the bezel was flaw only on older models because they were just glued on it.

Thanks Shelby,
Your feedback reallly came as a relief :woot:
I also find 450$ range as an oveshoot - even if it really deserves.
Mainly due to fact that I will not be having this watch on my wrist everyday, just for my leisure time and on rotation with PAM186 until I go for another PAM ( PAM332 is on my list, someone stop me!:beatahorse:)

The TD will check for another one with better bezel - if he finds, I'll go for it:cheers:
