State of the collection

[acilper666]

Have been lurking around here for awhile, thought I should share my current PAM collection with everyone

First up is the well known PAM 005 Noob Factory V2, did my first modification on this piece by brushing the lever pin.

Next, my daily beater, a 176M superluminova of unknown origins (can anyone tell if this is a H/N or from other makers from the picture?)

Im thinking of adding another PAM into the fodder, probably one with a closed caseback, any suggestions? :lol:

I've got a minty fresh 000 closed caseback up for sale right now.
Visit the sales forum and have a look.
Comes with 2 straps...

088i, coming from a fellow sg'ean

Thanks for the suggestions ! The 000 is little too close to the 005 and personally I think the 088I's dial is a little too busy though. Was looking at rads but there doesnt seem to be any nice ones around besides the 288k.

Nice two PAMs there acilper, have a look at the 183H, i.e at puretime.


Your 176 is H-Fac, here is mine for comparison

Nice pieces !! , especially the 005
May I ask why you brushed the pin ?

The gen PAM 005 seems to have a brushed pin, was trying to get it to look closer to gen :lol:

 

[Mambo]

OK, have a look at this gen ...

Here's a Gen M series, im now officially confused :facepalm:

 

[Mambo]

I think the pin doesn't look polished on that photo because the it's not flush with the CG ( crappy fit & finish IMO ) and therefore the shadow makes it look " brushed "

This is a gen 005 bought in october 2011 with a flushed/brushed CG.
Would it be odd if Panerai actually used both brushed/polished pins in the 005?

 

[Mambo]

Same watch, different angle ...


the gen's I've seen IRL, they all have a polished pin ...

 

[acilper666]

Looks like I would have to make a trip down to the ad and take a look

and probably have to get to work with some cape cod polishing cloth :frusty:
