Pam 510 kW V2 - help

Recommended Posts

Ji4040

Good Monday fellas, I'm interested in adding the KW v2 510 to my small collection...

I have owned the 564 and liked it, even posted a small review.

My questions are:

1. How does it compare to the 111, same case, different dial used?

2. Is the bezel thickness accurate to gen?

 

I'm drawn to this model for few reasons, I liked the strap on the 564 but was brown and wasn't versatile with all clothes, also the dial was brown.., same reason...

I really liked the gold fonts and the super lumes, very close to the gens.

I know these fit very comfortably on my wrist, so wanted to know what people think about this 510 compared to the 111.

 

Also, these are selling for a lower price at some TDs, Xmas specials, I think.

Thanks very much in advance!

The whole 8 day range of PAMs of which the 510 is part of, are pretty well done reps, however, the case construction is slightly different than the Luminors like the 111 use. If you just want a nice watch, the PAM510 V2 is a good choice. If you want an accurate rep, the PAM111 still is one of the prime choices and is already available at slightly lower prices now.

Watchinternational hasa kw pam005 at a good xmass price. Any comments as to the quality of the kw version? Or should I just pay the 60 dollar premium and get the noob factory from marv.rep.? Thoughts?

Thanks Mysterio and Ale as always. I did go thru the guide, but still don't know exact differences in the cases. I really don't care about the back, as long as the front looks close to gen, I'm fine.

Is the 510 thinner than 111?

Bezel width is different?

 

So when a TD lists "dissected from 111 case..." , I should not buy from them?

 

Thanks again.

Hey everyone, I'm back with news... I took a chance, after taking mysterious advice and reading Ales guide, decided to order the 510 V2 from WI s Xmas special and also save 100.00 bucks!

I first ordered from kuvarsit, but they sent me some bad qc pics with brown strap and the dial wasn't centered, didn't look like a v2, so got my refund back minus WU fee, after arguing for about a week.

Richest was very helpful and even let me use PayPal , assured me it was the v2 and it arrived very promptly on jan 2. I'm so glad I ordered this one , what a beauty and flawless!

Sorry I have NO news NO samples of this watch

It is impossible to get a review

 

If owners are so kind to publish or send me good pics of the rep we could tray a review with gen pics

Pam111 still better option. Curious about 6 days power reserve and kind of like the 8 days dial

Some TD site saying the Pam 510 power reserve is up to 6 days. I was recently told by one TD that its a 6497 movement and power reserve is only 40-50 hrs. Can someone confirm the real power reserve of the current Pam 510 in the rep world.
