Pam233 vs pam270

[GeDi]

Hi friends,


Trying to buy a decent GMT 233(8days) or 270 (10days)...

Ale is referring to 233 as ''relative good quality''.

The detail i see in the dial, is that in the 233 rep you don't have the PM and AM indications @9 in the small seconds sub-dial.

Instead, you get a small like ''moon'' indication @6 inside the small seconds sub-dial @9.

Whereas, in the 270 rep you get these indications more accurately..
Also, i could not find 270 in ALE's Ref. Probably because there is no interest and no decent rep of it.

Strange but seems true.

Yes, and AM/PM vs full moon dot.

I'm talking about replicas, mate.

The "moon" you're referring to is called "dot" dial. The gen 233 has both the dot dial and the AM/PM dial with the dot dial being present on the early 233 (I believe from series I to K). However, OP changed the dot dial to the AM/PM dial from series L to present. Thus, the dot dial 233 became rare and sought after from what I saw.

So, the rep 233 is not wrong for having the dot dial. Although from seeing Luth pics, the series doesn't match with the dial (L is supposed to have AM/PM dial).

I am very much looking forward to improvements in both the 233 and 270 watches.

Holy resurrect the dead, Batman! You could have just created a new thread. Besides, there isn't even anything new with the PAM233 reps, still the old asian movement with the bad date font.
