Pam 212 with correct cg

[patrick86]

I've been wanting to buy a PAM 212 , but have always been put off by the poorly shaped CG's available on them ( even on the Ultimate versions). I've come across a dealer that has 3 different model 212's. Their cheapest one seems to have a correctly shaped CG. The only problem is it has the old 7750 low beat movement and appears to have an innacurate looking movement/incorrect rotor markings etc. It's the only 212 I've ever seen with a decent looking CG. Here's a pic of the 212 with the correct CG.

I've emailed several of the trusted dealers about ordering an ultimate 212 and possibly ordering a correct CG that obviously exists , but never received any replies.

Does anyone know where I can get one of these accurate CG's and would it even fit a 212 with new 7750 ?

It was a Chinese holiday so they are probably bogged down with emails. If they dont answer you in the next few days try them again

And dont order from that guy. Stick with the trusted dealers...

LOL. There's an Ultimate 212? Seriously that one doesn't look any different than any other.

I dont see the difference in the CG, what exactly is bothering you with the one from the dealers here?
Maybe someone with a 212 can post pics and you can see what really comes from a dealer (which may differ from what they put up on their sites).

Pam 212 correct cg

Here is a pic of both Pam 212 reps. The first has a terrible CG that looks nothing like the GEN.(it's cut off and stubby) The second has a good CG but a really innacurate movement. I'd just love to buy one of the ultimate 212's from a trusted dealer , along with one of these correct CG's. Still haven't heard back from any of the trusted dealers.

I recognize one of the pics. Completely different runs. It's at least two years old. Nature of the biz.

it is always one has one thing right and the rest is wrong.

I have one of those "Ultimate" 212 from Sead, still haven't worn it as it just sits too high on my wrist.

I did a little research before buying it, unfortunately all the "Ultimate" models have the stubby crown guards, no idea why. The other differences included minor dial improvement (something about the sub-dials I think), better printing on the rotor and case back (supposedly more accurate), and a high beat A7750 movement.

EDIT: Oh and higher price, of course.
