Pam 508 Ceramic

[tridad]

Thinking of getting one, need advise on which one, KW?? And also, what movement would you recommend.
Thanks for any input, or if anyone is looking to get rid of one, let's talk.
Cheers!!

Kw seagull

I would only buy a 7750. Too many potential problems with the seagull second hand.

I used to recommend seagull, and I have one in my 569 that's working fine, but I must admit I heard a few too many complaints lately about its reliability.
Maybe the most recent batch is faulty or the raise in demand lead to lower quality movements or whatever.
In any case if price difference is not an issue I would advise 7750 as well. At least if it breaks you have more chances to be able to fix it.

I would agree. 7750 is easily serviceable. The seagull movements are $60 shipped for a new one, so I won't fix the movements... but there's quite a bit of labor involved to make the swap happen.

What version is better? V6f or zf? I am also thinking about buying this ceramic beauty.

V6 all the way. IMHO at least. Much more accurate especially is you can a newer gen with an updated pearl.
