Andrew (Trustytime) came through again as always, It was a flawless transaction as usual.
Quick dealing and a Pro in this business for already many many years.

After a long long wait, finally the new beloved PAM087 is launched :D
I never owned a diver version like these, once I heard the announcement of this specific version being launched I was hooked.
Main reason was the blue dial. I had to wait a bit longer compared to other members due to a shipping delay here in the Netherlands.
But then again, ordering during Christmas time is a pain in the a$$.
We all know what to expect this time of the year regarding shipping time.

But finally it's in my hands and WOW... Amazing quality IMO, I really like the watch.
Expectations were high on this one and I must admit they came through!
The dial is very well made and changes by color each time depending on the light.
Sometimes the dial seems almost black and then again when the light hits the dial...BANG... Blue all the way! :cool:
My doubts were there, but only regarding the strap.
But as many members like me already stated... the strap is really well made and good looking, pics really don't do justice on this strap.
Very nice stitching and it does match perfectly with the lume, the strap is butter soft and therefore very comfortable to wear.

The bezel is nicely brushed and the details are superb if you ask me.
The crystal is also very clear. Really nothing to complain about.
On one of the pics below you can see the nice texture on the dial, super crisp to look at, thumbs up!

I tried an ASSO (assolutamente) strap and had it on for just one day, I changed back again to the REP strap :)
I actually cannot find a single lack of quality which I noticed regarding this watch.
But, probally the die hard PAM heads will do have a thing or two to complain about as usual, but not me.

REP of the year...? Perhaps yes!!!

As always I made many pics for those who are still on the fence, hope you enjoy!

Thanks for the great review.
The watch is stunning!
I like the blue strap. For me it's the best combo.

That's still nice about a pam... The easy way to change a strap and with that, the complete look of the watch.

Mine is in Madrid already. Can't wait to have it on my wrist :)
OP...do you think the strap will fit an 8" wrist?
