Since i missed out on getting a watch in the AP Blow out sale, im thinking of treating my self to an other watch.

Im considdering a PAM 616 Carbotech, but im not sure which of the versions to go for. I would apriciate if some one had would weigh in on which is best to buy. Are the differences in the movements only cosmetic, or is one more reliable than the other ?

An other thing is, i have never held a carbon watch in my hand before, how is the weight. I always like a watch to have some weight to it, and im thinking maybe its too light, and will not have that heavy quality feel. I have tryed to look around, but have not been able to find out how much it weighs.

Thanks..

Ole

Regarding the weight see this pic from Polonus:

The watch is light for this size but the movement remains loud

Im not sure it made my dicision any easyer :) I think the watch might be to light for me. So after considdering ceramic 508 or maybe just plain old steel Pam187 which definately has the weight i like, i think it will be a Pam243 44mm. A classic watch in a more moderate size, i should not get tired of wearing or looking quickly.

But maybe i have changed my mind again tomorrow..

These reps 616 are not as accurate as they seem
Anyway KW seems better
