What's the best Titanium Submersible

[Commander Straker]

It's time for me to buy a titanium submersible and I'm torn between the VS/V6 Pam 389 with Mod P9000 movement and the ZF Pam 1305 with Mod P9010 movement. Is one of these an obviously better rep than the other and is there a strong alternative I should be considering (not a bronzo as I'm waiting for the 671 to resurface or the 2019 brown bronzo).

I'm partial to the Pam 025 because I like the hobnail dial and because I have one, but what's your criteria for a titanium submersible? "Best" can be subjective to everyone but put some metrics behind it and what you may find as best may not be:

Cost, size, movement, availability, durability, authenticity, looks, etc

 

[Commander Straker]

Thanks Martycus. By "best" I simply meant the best quality replica, closest to the gen.

 

[superspark69]

there are loads of pam TI submersibles that are super reps

do you want black dial or blue dial?, chunky or slimmer, GMT or non GMT, Destro or normal. Ceramic bezel or titanium bezel etc etc.

571 was super nice. Too tall though, got rid of it.

I recently got the vsf pam389. It's a very nice watch

I’d say the 571 is one of the slimmer ti subs tbh

FWIW, If you want to try out the 571 that superspark69 mentions, Toro has a special on it

Confirm availability first before ordering. Most TDs are not very diligent in cleaning up their sites of unavailable watches (to give a sense of variety).

Yep, always call / write ahead to be certain it's in stock and available. Inform them, in your email that if it is you'll be submitting an order and for them to look for it. A member informed me about HFac Pam 156 at a TD and I missed it likely due to the time zone difference in them replying as the item was in very small numbers.

So the member told you that it was confirmed by the TD regarding stock? Or he just told you he saw it at a TDs website?

He purchased it and informed me about it, he mentioned receiving QC pictures

I see. He must have purchased the last remaining piece. Especially considering it's an H-factory model. The TD must have ordered a few in advance. It's a shame.

Yep -- he said better get on it quick as they only have a few remaining pieces; I turned around and emailed TD at 8am (my time in California) and received a reply much later that night saying they;re no longer available.
