Which DSN's 111h should I get?

[pkoko]

I visit DSN's photobucket and found that there are few versions of 111h. He has "PAM 111H", "New PAM 111H" and "The Ultimate 111H"

Any bro knows which one is the closest to the gen?

Thank you.

You should check by the posting date of the pictures. You'll find that his ultimate 111h is the most accurate to the gen. It's got a swiss 6497 movement too with correct engravings and all. Two catches:

1. The movement runs @ 18K bph (gen runs at 21K bph) but you'll notice very small difference since the subdial is small enough to conceal the difference of the sweeping second hand.
2. Uses the novodiac shock absorber instead of the correct incabloc

+1. Agree with aardian. Very pivotal decision, though, as this is the basis of a PAM collection. Also, it's the watch that gets the most comments (at least, that's my experience). The Ultimate 111h will be indistinguishable from the Gen on your wrist. It feels and looks expensive.

DSN's Ultimate 111h was my 4th PAM in 3 years and it is by far the best built PAM I ever had. The lume is simply amazing, the swiss movement is a keeper although the beat is off 18K bph vs. 21K bph (if it's broken, you can source the parts easily and have any local watchmaker fix it in no time).

The shock absorber is a minor thing. Unless you're a watchgeek, you won't be able to tell the difference between incabloc vs. novodiac anyway... So it's a real tiny point.

Thank you so much for the information. I will place order soon.
