Here's a few more pics of the 332 - mine is a little 'different', though it doesn't bother me. I love this vachetta Orloff with black edgecoat strap on it, such a nice contrast.

I like the 253, 308, 332 but in general i like all pams that have this kind of dial. Is it called a hobnail dial?
Congrats JayBee0815 very very nice! :wowa:
Yes, Daytofan the last ones to make PAM253, PAM308 and PAM332 is the HF factory, it's been closed for a few years, so you can't buy them new from TD and you can only find m2m. It's not easy, but as you can see, along this thread, people who have the desire, means and free time find and collect them.
As for the hobnail dial, this is not a distinctive feature of special series models dedicated to any regatta(actually, all 5 are in this thread) . There is no direct connection, although many regattas do have such a dial. I think about 18 gen models and about a dozen rep have this type of dial, and for example PAM025, PAM569 or PAM643, PAM535 (if we talk about reps) not related to regattas.

Thank you very much for the explanation. Yes, I was aware that this dial is not specific to the Regatta, because I also love the 569, but unfortunately it is not available anywhere here either. I also think that the people who have such watches will never part with them. But if someone wants to part with it, I'll gladly stand in line to buy it. So don't be shy, feel free to sell to me. :thumbsup:

Thanks to this thread, I bought a 308 [again!], here's an old pic
I once received pictures of the rep from Sead, he had it in his UK stock long ago. I will try to find them.
Basically, the gen dial is very fine, thin thread, while the rep looks as if my grandma knitted it

:lol: best association! I definitely had a sweater of a similar knit, I didn’t think that it had anything to do with luna rossa.
Yeah, that dial is pretty bad, I can't find those pics from Sead unfortunately.

Found this online though, looks the same as those QC pics from Sead. Nothing like the gen really.

Of course, I remember, it was obvious almost immediately when they came out that the dial was by, that's why I didn't see them in almost anyone, but the photo below shows it well. True, this is not canvas, but woolen knitting. I will remember this argument....

I considered getting the VSF version and held off due to concerns on how the textile looks compared to the gen.
