Is this where I post QC pics so that I can get an honest opinion about them?

 

[wamaka]

Does anyone if there's a similar model like the PAM372 but in a smaller size, 42-44mm? Haven't found one that resembles its polished finish and color of the dial.

Hi guys. I have a beautiful Pam 111 noob v4. I had a problem with it so I sent it back to puretime and it works perfectly. However, I noticed a slight resistance when setting the time. Like in an area of a few hours, like when the minute hand gors from 12 to 4 it feels sort of "grindy" unlike the rest of the watch which feels smooth. Has anyone experienced this what can I do?
Any help is very much appreciated !

Maybe dial is not perfectly seated or hands are rubbing against something/,each orher

 

[Billybilly]

Hi PCteam ! I have a question for you. When setting the time on my Pam 111 noob v4, I feel, when the minute hand is between 2 and 6, a slight stiffness. Not really stiffness but a slight resistance where as the rest of the movement (from 6 to 2) offers no resistance.

What could the cause be?
Could I damage my watch?
What can I do to fix this/if it needs fixing?

Also, is it ok to let the watch fully unwind every week. Basically I only wear it on weekends so I let it unwind for the week. Is this ok?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice you might have.

 

[kilowattore]

The stiffness might be something or might be nothing. Maybe it's worth to have a look under the dial if something is rubbing against the hour wheel or else.
Letting the movement deplete its PR is normal and will cause no issues.

Ok kilowattore thanks for the reply ???? much appreciated!

Hello Team,

I’m looking for a watch smith to service a Pam 9010/ 7750 in England. I figured this was the best place to ask, do you know any contacts?

Thanks

Hey Guys,
considering a good quality Rep of PAM 372.
can anyone suggest which TD has the PAM 372 model in the best quality?
spoke to Puretime already. They dont have it and suggested PAM 127 instead which looks similar sure but wanted to check the suggestion of you guys first.
thanks in advance.

 

[kilowattore]

127 is for sure an awesome rep. Check ALE7575's guide for more info.

 

[mahazara]

Where do I get the guide?

Hi Guys,
I managed to find, PAM 372 at Intime Watch 03 TD website. Now i am a little confused. In Intime website, I found below

1. PAM 372 - Link - https://www.intime03.co/panerai/200...ck-brown-leather-strap-p3000-super-clone.html
2. PAM 127 Noob - Link - https://www.intime03.co/panerai/461...rown-leather-strap-a6497-with-y-incabloc.html
3. PAM 127 ZF - Link - https://www.intime03.co/panerai/214...no74-leather-strap-a6497-with-y-incabloc.html

Confusion is - PAM 127 ZF seems to be more pricey than PAM 127 Noob. Is ZF generally better than Noob? Also, PAM 372 is even cheaper, however it appears 372 comes with a plexi glass which can apparently scratch easy and turns yellow after a while on the other hand PAM 127 is Scratch proof apparently..

help... / suggestion..

My suggestion is you read ALE's guide, all the answers to your questions are there. It takes very little effort to find the thread, press f3 and search for the models you are interested in.

Hi all!

I'm looking for a more formal[shiny], thinner version of my PAM386 which I've enjoyed very much. I really love my Big F-off Italian Watch but the brown composite plating is scratching or wearing off in a few spots, the display caseback is scratching which makes me think it's mineral and not sapphire, and the thing's just enormously tall[thick]. Was fine at the old gig but the new job requires sleeves, which requires a watch that can fit under said sleeves. And I'm seeing the folly of a coated rep, so I'd like to be either SS or Ti.

My perfect Panerai would have polished stainless case and bezel, crown guard, display caseback, date, & seconds with a sapphire crystal, no cyclops, & a dark face. I can get close on all of those, but none of the ones I've found are quite perfect.

The ones I'm looking at so far are:

PAM572

https://www.intime03.co/panerai/3687...per-clone.html
^ micro rotor, unique movement, slim, formal looking, no date, no crown guard.

PAM904

https://www.intime03.co/panerai/5474...ap-axxxiv.html
^ the one I've been leaning towards lately, no display caseback but automatic and has date and crown guard. Would want to get a black strap for it. Much thinner than current watch. Thicker than gen, not 1:1

PAM1359

https://www.intime03.co/panerai/3214...p-zfp9010.html
^ most similar to my watch - a few mm thinner but still pretty chunky, has 12 numbers, not sure how I feel about how busy the face looks. The P.9010 watches are thin enough for my needs and I do like a big watch.

PAM111

https://www.intime03.co/panerai/1204...alf-strap.html
^ most accurate replica, almost indistinguishable from the genuine, a little thinner, no date, not automatic.

Thoughts? Watches I should be considering? Sorry to be so wordy. And I'm struggling to post images, not sure what I'm doing wrong.

 

[kilowattore]

Not sure this thread is the right place to post this, maybe you should have opened a proper thread so people could have given their opinions.
anyway, 572 imho is the dressier one, followed by 904. I am not a fan of 44mm 1950 cases so I would scratch 1359. 111 is a classic.

Is VS factory still a legit factory for Pams? Submersibles? Opinions would be great
