PAM 351 Advice Needed...

[demolitionman]

In search of my first PAM rep, looking at 351...

There's an M2M PAM 351 with "M" serial, can't identify if its one of the pre 2013 or later v1, v2 "M" series that are more desirable/accurate. https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/sh...ut-the-pics%29

Also for sale M2M, a V6F/KW 351 "O" serial, https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/sh...-Seagull-CONUS, couldn't find a reference to it in GUIDE. Was sold as a "LITE" version from ChazingTime ,(TD on RWG?), http://chazingtime.com/product/pam35...-strap-st2555/

Any input/advice.

The PAM in the first sale thread is using an A7750 movement (balance wheel @11) without any decorative plates, so it is pre-2013. The second PAM is the one with an ST2555 (since balance wheel is at 6) with decorative plates to look like a P.9000, much like the one in the link from Chazingtime.

Thanks Mysterio!,
Does the LITE designation mean that there is a better version therefore "lite" as in Miller Lite beer as opposed to old faithful Guinness Draught, the gold standard, IMO...

Nope. For some reason, the dealers use Lite to designate the use of the ST2555, even though it is by no means a lite or light movement. It is a bit cheaper compared to its A7750 based cousin so it's light on the wallet. :lol:

Gratitude for spreading the wealth of knowledge, it has made my decision significantly easier.

Is the O and Q series 351 vastly superior to the pre 2013 M version, (although when released it was first class low), and not worth getting now unless of course it's bargain priced. Would you suggest only going for the latest versions (O, P or Q series).

Free advertisement! lol jk.
Based on my understanding, the difference between a Pam 351 a7750 VS. Seagull ST2555 is just the movement.
The case construction, crystal, design and overall exterior of the watch is identical.
Typically I prefer buying any PAM with ST2555 movement because essentially I'm getting the same watch at a lower cost. To add, I've never had any issues with the ST2555 movement.
In conclusion, buy my watch lol. :thumbup:

I have Pams of similarity to the 351 with both movements. Honestly I prefer the 7750, but the ST2555 is a good movement and more accurate to gen. I have been watching hotwheels 351 for a couple days now and would like to buy it, but with the holidays approaching I have to wait on any purchases for myself. If it was me I'd get his and a better strap. That's probably the biggest reason for not buying his over the movement. I can't stand rep straps and feel the need to replace them with a high quality strap, which further dents my wallet. For the 351 I have a specific strap in mind I want to buy and it's not cheap! The go to strap I'd put on it is actually on my Christmas list LOL!

Free advertisement! lol jk...In conclusion, buy my watch lol. :thumbup:

I never understood the use of Lite for the watches with Seagull
It is the same watch, with a reliable movement, more accurate and CHEAPER. The way to go IMO
