Hi all!

first post here:)
Was on Torobravos site and found the popular Pam111 V3 which I'm keen to get.
For an additional $170, an Option was given to upgrade movement to swiss eta 6497 with Y incabloc.
Apart from the incabloc being changed from a H to a Y shape, what other changes are there?
and also, is it worth it?:ambivalence:

Just take the incabloc mod if you go with the Swiss movement it will not look gen as the gen is not low beat and the rep movement , the money you save you can put towards your next watch....

+1 I agree completely with marlin

Listen to marlin. He knows perfectly what he is talking about

Swiss movement option is a serious mistake !!

If you are looking for gen-like appearance go to Asian modified

In PAM 111 Section you can read:
"Thereare replica versions fitted with “Swiss” movements. These "Swiss"movements are not the same of the original mounted in the current gen watches.They are, at best, a "cheap Swiss" Low beat movement with a"cheap" Novodiac shock protection system instead of Incabloc and withan horrible Swan Neck, the same or worse than which you can find in thereplicas. The advice is: Save your money and get the good and accurate enough Asian movement.
FromDec 2012 there is a Swiss movement version with a perfect Incabloc,but they are Low beat and have an horrible wrong Swan Neck typical of Noob.They are no worth in my opinion."

thanks everyone for the advise:) really honoured to have both Marlin and Ale comment on my query!

Most likely will go with just the incabloc mod which is going for only a $100 atm.
