Torn between 212 & 220... What would you do??

[SOLEX]

I really like both models but can not buy both!

I love the chronos and a bit smaller case of the 212, but the 220 is so classic and simple.

This will not be my first pam, Ive had a 111 and I will now be selling a 48 rep. I really want a hand wound model, but there are no brushed cases with a sandwhich dial that I know about.

What would you guys suggest??

 

[guanaco]

PAM 212.

 

[greg_r]

I find the look of the 212 rather too fussy for my tastes. Would be the 220 for me.

 

[ewing]

For the brushed look with sandwich dial, any titanium would fit the bill
176 and 177 come to mind

 

[SOLEX]

I forgot to mention the 220 would be from DSN.

Re: titanium... I like titanium but I just don't know if it would work well for an everyday watch to wear to work etc.

 

[carnut]

Both nice, I like the 212 better but who really cares what I like?

Titanium would be fine for work or whatever, work & Pams... hmmm.

Do we pay you too much? Are you going to charge me too much? Is that real- is what your selling me real? I think a less conspicous watch is better for work. Tag, Omega, Rolex, Sinn... that type. Go out after work wearing the Pam.

Again, who cares what I think. Go with your own gut.

The 212 is hard to beat. I think it is the most Pam-like of their chronographs. The scale is good and the matte and polished finish is very classy.

 

[SOLEX]

Thanks guys... I think I am leaning towards the DSN 177 and if all fails I will pick up a 212 from anyone afterwards.

My question is... does a 111 model exist with a BRUSHED case? I hate polished!!! I really want to deal with DSN on this, but if someone else has it I might go elsewhere.

 

[Mr.Majestyk]

Firstly,
DSN I think is a great dealer. He has always replied to my Emails quickly & with all the info I requested. Have been very close to buying from him but had a 6152-1 being built by another dealer, and as you, I cannot buy more than one, so it has taken me quite a while to decide....(there is a point to all this waffle..)
I like the "FiddY' style case of the 212, looks vintage & yet modern. Not a big fan of the LUMINORs, they all just look.....BLAH!
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that you can't go wrong with either decision, I suppose you can always have a 111 BRUSHED as a mod, am sure there would be a member who's tried that before.
Good luck!
M*M

Pam 176

My all time fav Mechanical winds, 177, 176, 036, 112.

 

[SOLEX]

I really like the handwinds, but I would like a seconds at 9 model.

I just dont get why everyone says DSN's number 6 is off, but his 112 is the best rep he makes??

Other than the 111/177 is there another sandwhich dial DSN anyone can recommend that is a superior rep?

I would easily go for a 104 but they say the datefont is not 100% correct... that would drive me insane!!!

 

[Dogma]

Other than DSN ultimate Fiddy, I don't know.

 

[fakemaster]

212 all the way.

 

[donnay458]
