Thank you so much to all that have researched and taken the time to document all of the various PAM details. One thing I'd like to know in regards to different PAM models is the color of the dial markings (I didn't see this as a filter in the PAM guide). For example, I'm currently fascinated with the PAM 359, but it's difficult to tell from internet photos the color of the markings. On some photos the markings look tan, on some they look yellowish, and on others they look white.

If anyone knows a source for this information, please let me know!

Much respect

I would agree with the above statement - creamy vintage tan would be the best way to describe it. Here is mine below

Also - besides the pam quide, there is also a pam spreadsheed which allows you to search for a particular watch based on many different characteristics. It can also be found in the pam section

Thank you spankster23, and Ruski91! That's a great help.

Ruski91; I was able to find the PAM spreadsheet from ALE, but didn't find the marking color as a filter on it - I'll check again. In any case, your answer and photo clarify perfectly.

Thanks again!

Also if you wouldn't mind sharing Ruski91; would it be possible to fit a SS bracelet on this model? If so, would you have a recommendation on where to find one?

Thanks

Theoreticaly you can fit a SS bracelet on this one - it would fit similar to a 328 (looks like a 312 on SS bracelet) or a 329 (looks like a 320 on SS bracelet)
At the moment, these are the only two 1950's case shaped watches that I can think of that would come on a SS bracelet.

That being said, If you get a ZF version of the 359, it should be compatible with a ZF bracelet to the 1950's case shape. I would email a few dealers if I were you. Personally i have been using Ryan (inTime Watches) and he has been great. But there are many good ones.

Just tell them what you want and usally they can make it happen for you. In your case, you would just tell them that you want a recent 359 either Z-Factory or KW and a matching SS Bracelet that would fit the case properly.

To be honest i dont know how this would look, I think that the tan vintage lume deserves a nice dark brown/burgundy croc strap with cream stitching to match, but thats just my opinion.

Thank you Ruski91; I appreciate your quick response. I'll probably start off with a nice dark brown strap and go from there.
