Hi everybody,
I owns a Pam 172E from DSN....this watch is extraordinary well made but it's really noisy.... the ticking can get you mad!

do you think an automatic movement is quiter? i would like to buy the PAM 111H or 176 but the movement is tha same as mine...
any suggestions???

Did you already service the watch?

Damn, I would love to have a noisy watch

For all my watches, I have to get really close to them to hear anything :/

The handwind movement (as found in all of the 'classic' PAMs) does tend to be fairly noisy - doesn't matter whether they're swiss or Asian. They do vary, however - a well sorted 6497 isn't THAT noisy. A 111 or 176 will be the same movement btw. If you want an auto there are several models to chose from such as the 233, 270 and various chrono models - on the autos the 'ticking' tends to be quieter but the rotor can be noisy. Swings and roundabouts. Personally I wouldn't worry about it...

Ti cased watches are louder than steel cases, too. I've noticed that my A6497s tick louder than my Swiss 6497s, as well.

I love the ticking noise, ... you have to get close though in order to hear really well
I would not worry about it

so, you are telling me that the noise is normal in these watch and that it is good to feel the watch alive (sorry about my english...).

just a question.... considering that at the moment i do not own a gen PAM, does these watch mak that kind of sound?

thank you to all for the answers
