Thinking about getting a Pam187 Submersible with the new 7753 movement. Anyone got one of these and care to share your thoughts? I have a Pam288K and really happy with the quality of that. The 187 from the N factory looks great! Thanks.

I had the 187.

the built of this watch is great, and the mvt feels really smooth and nice. -the date change function is simply the best I have had in any rep.
if there's one thing that I would mention, it's that the date pusher must be tightned very carefully, as these seem to break if you use too much force on them, while screwing in the threadded pusher.

look and feel is just amazing.

I am very tempted to purchase this rep as well, but the date pusher issue bothers me a little bit. Overall, it would seem it is worth saving the ~$450 for the 7753 Noob edition

Hi dessert
You are exxagerating, it is not an issue !!
You should just be careful with the pusher !!
The cheaper versions have less quality in general leaving aside the working pusher (sunken date wheel, less quality lume...)

Hi ALE and trksh, thank you both for the replies. The PAM REVIEW GUIDE is a fantastic resource. ALE you must have a lot of free time and an understanding partner! Looks like it is the 187 for me...there goes this months bonus. Any updates on the raids in China and affected TD's and Factories? What is it about Spain and very fast MOTO GP riders? Regards Chris

Great out of the box looking, but with a few minor mods almost perfect. :)

I would love to try one of these on before committing to buy. Im afraid it might be too big for my wrist...

Here is a wristy of my 194 on my approx 7 inch wrist. Although it has the same dimensions this watch wears much bigger than the 187 due to the bezel. If you can wear vintage Pams comfortably than this watch will fit great, it's more the weight that's an issue with people.

Pizzanooo has done a relume, the shape & color of his pearl and hands color match gen wonderfully. I asked the TD to check the date pusher before sending the watch off and it went back to the factory before being sent to me, I never had a problem with the date pusher but did take care to wind out just till it was operational and tighten just to the point where I started to feel some compression. I loved that watch and miss it, great colors on the dial and great quality rep...your gonna love it!
