Pam 356 inputs

[cceddlekid]

Hi all,

I am currently looking for a PAM 356 for a gift, but looks like it is not a popular model here. I hardly see it come up in the members' sale section. I have read Ale's Pam reference guide and after looking around how much the TDs are selling for I feel that the price is over my budget. Any inputs by anyone who owns this rep about the quality or if anyone knows where I can get a decent price? I am looking to spend about $220 max. My friend likes the look (chronos on dial or something that is neither too plain nor too crowded on the face), but if anyone has other PAM alternatives I am all ears!

Thank you very much for the help.

i think there is a really good super rep chrono which is a radiomir case... i forget the number but its def in ALEs guide. Might be worth a look, but im not sure how much the TDs sell for.

Failing that DSN is a bit cheaper than noob or H fac in a lot of cases.... maybe you could check out his offerings.

i think don is referring to the 288K..that is a pretty nice watch as well..

@OP: Perhaps you might want to rethink your budget and raise it a little..you can search thru the sales threads but there is no guarantee you can find one in a hurry..

This is the best option

Save your pennies up and wait till you can get this version

The Don was referring to a 288 indeed. That watch is over your budget aswell. All the chronos are more due to the movement.

Hi ceedd
The PAM 356 is not popular because I say in the GUIDE is a "dressing" and civilised version of a chrono.
Most people here are young and are looking for more "agressive" watches and when they want a chrono want a "real" chrono, not a smart chrono. This is just my opinion.
But all is said in the GUIDE
Concerning price, if you like a Good a real chrono you must raise a bit your budget near 300$. Consult the Chronos in the GUIDE. In Section B they are ordered by types.
Try again the sales section.
Good luck
ALE

one last question, are the chrono hands for this rep any good?

Sorry I don't understand your question
In case that you mean if all chrono functions of this watch are working, the answer is: YES

The movement used in the rep is a fully functional chrono just like the gen. It is copied very well right down to the rotor engraving.

Oops, sorry Ale, thats what exactly I was asking for, thank you for the answer

Thank you frigpig, i guess this will be the choice then!

in the meantime, spend some time reading up on the information that has been so painstakingly compiled..

also have a look around the Watch sales thread for some good bargains that might come up to fit your budget and location..

Will do as advised. I have some watches that I am going to sell to fund the 356 or to trade...still thinking which ones to let go
