Hello im new here. So im really noob at watches and i have a few questions.
I'm into buying from InTime.Co this seller for me is really kind.
Which mechanism in PAM is more realible? I know that Asian 7750 is not (i rad about it). Is hindwinded mechanism on PAM better than Automatic? Which watch is more close to gen. (look, mechanism?)
Is Asian Unitas 6497-2 17J good mechanism or should i take Swiss ETA mechanism or Asian 2836? Please help me with that because i'm really noob at that and i don't want to buy the watch and have it on service most of the time because i'm not rich...Should i get a PAM with Power Reserve (i love it) :D Is Power Reserve with handwind too or only Automatic?

Thanks in Advance your Forum is really great i'm really proud of ti :)

Best Regards!

Buy the one you like the most. The mechanism shouldn't be you primary criteria.

Both handwound 6497 and Asian 2824 or 2836 are good and reliable, the less complications it has the more reliable it is, the same goes for decorations.
Also both, cheap or expensive all my PAMs are working fine, PAM 111 V3 is very frequently chosen for starters. Ale´s PAM guide is the reference for PAMs but just choose one You like, than read and research a bit about that model and decide.

Power reserve is good option only if you get some DSN models like 028 which has Swiss movement and is pretty expensive. As for the movement, per my experience I can say any movement in PAMs is reliable but decorated 7750's can have some problems. If you get a watch with 7750 but without chronographs (like 243 for example) you won't have any problems. I find 6497 movement most reliable, then there is 2824/2836 and last 7750 but saying that, I have never had any issue with any of them.
Of course there can be a problem with any of these movements but it's rare and it can happen to everyone and most of the TD's will take care of it if you ask them nicely.

And lastly, my suggestion for a model goes to 111, 243, 390, 187, 382, 389, 312... There are more but this should be enough to start. :)

The new H-Fac PAM 000 is a great piece and very reasonably priced for a starter. I would say that might be a good one for you to review and consider.
