PAM196 with Valjoux 7753... It costs like a bomb though... and harder to source these days.

I was about to say that.

The Flyback is nice, if inaccurate.

I personally like PAM250 more.
But I heard that the quality of the case is inferior to PAM196.

Agreed @eLink.

Josh has a great Swiss 212 Flyback - though not cheap. And if you like diver's watches, the 187 is nice - and meaty; chronos work, here's mine:

Those digits and indices on the bezel, are they applied or milled from a single piece of steel?

The markers are applied. I have heard of them coming off on these; some owners have taken them off and reaffixed them with metallic glue to avoid a missing marker (dead giveaway vs a gen).

I am thinking of doing the same, IF I can get someone to tell me how to do it without phuckin' [sic] the bezel.

I sort of ... um, er ... well, I won it on RWG2. :shock:

I'm ecstatic, as you can imagine, but it means Mrs Pugwash will steal my 111h now ... :?

 

[lovepanerai]

Does it take 24mm straps?

 

[lovepanerai]

yes 24mm at lugs and 22mm at clasp

 

[pugwash]

yes 24mm at lugs and 22mm at clasp

Fantastic! I can use the Toscanas from my 111h

What is a normal price for that badboy? I haven't looked, but it's got to be in $600-$800 range :shock: I hope to see more reps use the 7753. Subdials where we like them... :wink: Looking forward to your review. And congrats on the win. As lucky as you are in drawings...I wonder what you are unlucky at to balance things out?????
