PAM606 [HWF]
- Thread starter KOT1917
- Start date
Not the most interesting and popular model in my opinion, but an important step in the transition to 47mm cases.
I would guess that PAM606 is just a warm up before something more interesting.
The question is how they will go further: On a win-win path with PAM372, PAM605 (probably), PAM972, which AFAIK existed before and sold successfully, or as they have already shown it, will give new models that have been missed before, or were not released in "vacuum" period of production of 47mm 1950 models?
I hope it's both, but I'm hoping for the second one, and would be very happy to see PAM665, PAM1080 and PAM1075.
I really hope that they will be more attentive to the sandwich pattern for the new dials of a larger diameter, and will not cut out such thick numbers and indices.
What will be in the quality of movt. is not clear now, but if it is 6497 with a deco plate, like on cheap dhgate, then they will have to try 2 times more carefully with the dial so as not to drown the release.

New release coming soon, in all likelihood their first model in 47mm new 1950 case:
What can I say?
Still love my SF from back in the day
Chose it over the 372 first because I’m a 390 lover, so not only I got the green lume but also a cool engraved lever!
Look forward to seeing the other models!
Thanks again for bringing this up to our attention [mention]KOT1917 [/mention] !!
Cheers

Perhaps we should wait for more photos, but what you can see so far:
- The inscription on the dial is not engraved, just printed.
- Inside, as I understand it, there is 6497 with a deco plate, which does not look terrible, although it is obvious, but this P.3000 design is not correct for the 2014 PAM606.
- Curol crystal looks somewhat flat, more like profile 127, for example, than 606.
- As I understand it, there are no middle longitudinal edges on the sides of the case.
The last one interests me the most...

Thank you for sharing, this is good news, I propose to continue about PAM1080 in a separate discussion thread, which I created separately, based on your information and photo:

To clarify:
- Hand REP PAM606 HWF.
- Hands GEN PAM606
- GEN PAM372 hands, same length as all older models with this case, and dial type.
- GEN PAM1075 with new, long hand.

Yes, we have already seen this problem from HWF. So far, the photos do not allow you to understand 100%, but so far I see that the crown is too small.
thanks for your feedback, yes with the pictures it's easier to tell.
And all 3 models, as I see it, have a crystal in the form of 127, and a case that looks more like an old 1950 with thinner lugs.
