PAM 253

[CincyBengalMan]

I'm looking at purchasing a PAM253 and have been looking at the one on watchwoot and puretimewatch and DAV. This will be my first PAM rep that I've ever purchased and have been trying to read as much as possible, but to be honest, there's SO MUCH, lol. Of the three sources, who do you vets think has the best rep, inside and out?

Thanks for everyone's help!

Well, the watchwoot and puretime are exactly the same,, from the same factory.. The DSN is not..
I have not owned the DSN nor have I compared it.. so I cannot comment on it.. sorry..

Thanks Daytona.

What do you think of the quality of the puretime version?

Also, I'm open to any other suggestions that you all may have on other retailers. Along with the mentioned retailers, I found searching that Josh, Angus and Ruby all have or do sell the 253.

Unless I missed something new, DSN does not have a 253. I asked a few days ago via email and he said he may think about making this one in 2009. Did I miss a post?

Nope, I haven't contacted him yet, but I put his name in there as I heard positive things about him and his work.

Well,, watchwoot is my website, puretime , ruby, etc.. etc.. etc.. all sell the exact same identical model .. from the same factory.
So to specifically answer your question. I think the watch is fine,, no big beef with it. It is not the most accurate panerai replica.. but when you start talking about accuracy,, you cannot please a true panerai fan anyway.. lol.. so to say that puretimes is decent is to say that everyone elses is as well...

you will find that when shopping for watches.. everyone has the same watch from the same factory.. exceptions are Time4Direct, Davidsen & Silix as they have a mix of items from different markets across the orient. Davidsen and occasionally Time4Direct will have some proprietary items.

DSN's watches are beautiful and his service is great. I have 3. Had to return oine as a duff, which he immediatley replaced. Priceier though.
