wow.. kudos to ALE for answering all the PAM 111 questions.

Here's mine:
I remember i read somewhere regarding the "2" on the 111 dial which is the incorrect font, does it still happen recently? Trying to get myself one of these V3.

Cheers

This is the thread:
WARNING !!!!!!!!! - Dial ISSUE at "2" in PAM 111 V3 Noob- *****
http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/pcteam-warning-dial-125655?t=125655

I have no seen watches with flaw many time ago (just one case if I well remember)
I think all defective dials were removed and used maybe for low grade replicas.
Buy it with confidence
Anyway, when received publish your QC pics and ask here about that
No worries

need some advice from the pros around here! I just got my pam111 but whenever i wind the watch the crown sorta 'springs back' a little, and i realized that the little disk that holds the large gear in place doesn't really have the teeth fitted between the teeth of the large gear. is that normal?

Hey Guys,
This has been a really great thread. Super informative indeed.
Here are QC pics of the PAM 111 N V3 Noob that I just ordered.
It seems the movement pic was taken at an angle? Is it my problem?
Any thoughts from the experts?

THANKS!!!!!

anyone wore the 111v3 in the cold (like -25degC/-13degF) and have any issues? Also, is it water resistant? I feel kinda stupid taking it off when I need a good handwash, or pushing it high up my wrist... just paranoid for now haha

I swim with my PAM111 on the sea. No problem.

I have not tested yet the cold.

Nice to hear above mentioned
Congrats
ALE
I am stunned by the quality of this watch. I expected at least some imperfections in the build of the watch and have found none...and it is running perfectly. Once you get past the tedious WU payment process, the transaction was excellent through Angus and his staff at PureTime. Paired with an oil-tanned Whiskey strap from Joe at SNPR Straps, I think it is an awesome combo.
Thanks for the help, Ale.....what's next? :)

Would you like some suggestions?

If you like finish, try a KW PAM, you will get impressed !!

ALE

KW is a Maker, right?

Actually, Ale....as far as the Pams go, the Luminor is a very large chunky watch. Bigger than I normally wear (and I have 8" wrists).
My next purchases were going to be the 288 and the 372, or maybe a Fiddy, kind of covering all the bases style-wise, and with all Super reps. I'm sure I couldn't go wrong with those.
However, I think I might want to look into the Radiomir vintage style watches. Maybe even from River or one of those guys, although I hate to stray away from the super-reps and you're great advice and hard work.
Any suggestions there? (other than changing threads) :)
