Wondering if anyone knows if there is a rep with a Tobacco dial and also a crown guard? Preferably 26mm strap, but 24 will also work. I have searched the TDs websites, but haven't been able to fond any. Hell I am not even sure if they make Gen with a Tobacco dial with crown guard.
PS- I really hate posting a thread asking a simple question like this, but I have been limited to searching from my phone as my computer broke and I haven't got it fixed yet. Navigating the TDs websites are painful on my phone .

Almost all the titanium Luminors have a tobacco dial -- 55, 116, 296, 351 -- so it might be helpful to use that metric to narrow your search.

Thanks guys. I didn't even think about the Titanium ones, but that would be great I love the look of them.

390, super rep status and also, if you can get it new from a TD, pretty well priced nowadays.

PAM390 Noob - Factory stopped making them, M2M only option
PAM036 - (DSN Out of production, custom uncommon)

I am leaning towards the 061 or 390. I guess Noob would be what I was looking for on m2m for the 390, not sure what maker for the 061. I have to check out what movements are in them. I don't want something that is a pain like a 7750. I would prefer something like a 2824 or 2836 or something that is a decent price for a ETA to swap into it if the movement gives me problems.

mate, those pams have A6497 ..handwind movement which is a workhorse.

390 is the way to go followed by 564

PAMs do not come with A2836 or A2824. They usually come with the A7750 (either plain or modded with decorative plates) or clones of the in-house movements. But the A7750s are a long way from being a pain (maybe 4-5 years ago but no longer). The PAM061 comes with the A6497 manual wind movement.

Thanks for the clarification. I just had problems with every A7750 (Iwc, AP, etc.) that I had, most were DOA or wouldn't keep time at all.

I am learning towards the Titanium case one. I think the brown dial looks great with the brushed look. So far the 61 looks best to me, I like closed casebacks

Bear in mind most of those are modded ones to move the running seconds subdial elsewhere (6 oclock on the ports, 12 oclock on the APs) , so reliability between those and the 7750 in a PAM that doesn't even have the chrono module on it anymore is not comparable.
