PAM looks awful

[ShiroTenshi]

PAM looks awful, seriously. The simple, VERY simple dial face and case, plus a BIG crown guard, all for what? 300 bucks?! I rather get an UPO for that money............ or that was what I thought..:lolcina:

While I was sitting idling in the train yesterday, I saw this guy with one on his wrist, standing right in front of me.. a PAM 111. My first thought was "Shyt!! This thing looks nice!!"
I do not know if that was a gen, nor do I love PAM enough to study about it. Due to the first rule we have, I didn't ask him.
I never stared so much at a guy (wrist) before, not like she's a chick with nice tits or some short skirts.....opcorn:

So now I think I had fallen to the even darker side of the rep game.. the PAM... Now just tell me, is this the best PAM111?

Haha, sounded like me a while ago

If you ask me, noob or H factory 111 versions are AMAZING only the truly obsessed pam junkies can pick out the "flaws" I have a hard time noticed them side by side so not much to argue.

But I would consider order it on rubber and get a proper strap for it from any of our strap guys and pretty sure in your area you could find one at a very good price, the rep straps sucks pretty much. http://www.puretimewatch.com/produc...nt-ar-best-edition-on-black-oem-rubber-strap/

My calfskin leather strap were really flimsy and looked incredibly cheap, nice in picture but real life epic fail, so get it on rubber and a nice after market one, I like paneray´s (located in Shanghai) straps nice price awesome quality and service.

Soon you will "need" a 005 or 318, 176/177 in Ti is rather nice too, then you might want puretime´s brandspankingnew 127 that at least I think is a gorgeous best!!!
It´s rather big but I just need it in my watchbox to look at and polish ....

Cheers,

I prefer the base dials, 112 or 000

The 127..47mm! I only got a 6.5" wrist, thats a challenge.

What size strap for the PAM111?

 

[txrob779]

Yes the 111M is that good. It took me years to come round on PAMs and after some due diligence I chose to buy a 111M. Wow was I impressed and finally understood what the buzz was about. Enjoy it mate and wear it well.

yes, well... that's just your opinion, man

But honestly, i had the same experience as you. Firstly i couldn't understand the like for PAMs but now i couldn't live without them.

But be careful. soon you'll need a titanium one, a lefty and of course a pvd.


.... and then you get started on vintage... :lolcina:

 

[elmataplata]

Bahaha, I used to have the same thoughts and the same thing happened. Spotted a 111 in the wild and thought "thats not as big and plain as i thought". month later i had my 177 homage

+1 to the comment above on straps - order it on rubber, get a good custom leather made to your taste afterwards.

Straps are 24/24 on the tang buckle, 24/22 on a deployant (wth deployant strap, obviously!)

Noob and H Factory are both good, but I prefer my Noob over my H-Factory.

Thanks to the recommendation! Got it on the rubber, and looking for aftermarket straps now

on no, you are never going back!!

Any SG shop selling straps with good value? Im afraid a 5mm is too thick for a 6.5" wrist. Looking for something that wear small :lol:

I have an 6.5" wrist and 4mm is the limit... So you are right one this!

Really one month??? I took me almost a year until i change my mind... Oh boy, you are in trouble!!!

 

[Tag Man]

Get the Noob on rubber. For $10.00 extra Angus will make it a deployant clasp, which I like better. Ask for QC pics to include lume shots, as I have seen some recent complaints about the lume on the hands of recent purchases.

I am very happy with my Noob 111 from Angus/Puretime.

Now just tell me, is this the best PAM111?

Hi shiro
The N version is the same with a N (of 2011) in the caseback instead a M (of 2010) no changes ... LOL

And yeah, i got the QC today and its written N instead of M, its quite fun that it matches the "noob" name. :lol:
