Hi There,

Just received QC pics from Pure time for the pam 299k i ordered.
I noticed in one of the pics that it is a "O" serial number not the "K"
What is the difference and should I request the "K" instead?
All comments appreciated. Thanks

Thats the same "O" serial number on my QC pics as well.
What is the difference between the two?

K-series has a different dial with smaller and a bit thicker markers and L SWISS MADE L is placed in two parts at each side of the "6"
O-series is the last release form Noob using the same type of dial of N-series of H maker, bigger and thinner markers and LSML placed complete under "6"This is the same dial as PAM 104
Noob has released the PAM 104 O-series, and then, using this dial and the case and bracelet of PAM 299 K-series has released the PAM 299 O-series
Most likely Noob has also used the crystal of PAM 104 O-series, because PAM 299 O-series has a better cyclops with less frozen halo
Threfore the best version of PAM 299 at this moment is: PAM 299 O-series Noob.
I will include this info in PAM GUIDE asap

What I don't understand is why dealers are delivering O-series instead of K-series telling nothing the buyers.
I think there are not even links to PAM 299 O-series on dealers catalogues

Anyway buy and get PAM 299 O-series with confidence.

Precisely! Thats what completely through me off!
The dealers don't mention anything of this "O" series on their website and when I receive the QC pics, surprise, surprise, "O" series. They should update their websites and include this "O" series so there are no surprises. Thanks for your input ALE.

Maybe, there are still some K-sereis in sotck in some dealers
If they publish O-series improved, people would not buy K-series stock

Just my thoughts

I bought the 088 0 Noob and one thing for sure is the clarity of the cyclops is way improved..... wheras my 243 has a "fish eye" type effect thought slight, the 088 has much less distortion and is much clearer.

you should ask for more photos of the bracelet because it may be like this:

I just opened the package and saw this flaw, dealer offered to send it back and change to another one...

Thanks tranz
This is a good and interesting confirmation
Therefore PAM 088, PAM 104 and the new PAM 297 Noob O-series have confirmed improved crystal cyclops
Good news
