My spanking brand new PAM438 Tuttonero

Recommended Posts

Khronos

I've received my PAM438 V6 ( KW ) Seagull today after a 3 week wait. I've had trouble deciding if this was the ONE :) , especially because I was afraid it would be too lightweight like titanium watches. I hate to repeat myself, but I despise lightweight watches :) Anyway, the watch is everything but lightweight, I've put it on the scale and it's 201g, all links included. For comparison - my Noob 243 weighs 187g on rubber and that is the weight that makes it a man's watch :) It came very well packed and protected as you can see in the pics. I hate the way the deployment works, it's a hassle locking it with one hand. The ceramic has an interesting feel to it, it's warm and very pleasant. The finish of the watch is out of this world, but the CG lever could be a bit firmer at the locking end, the 243 is much better in this regard. I was also afraid that the AR is complete rubbish, but it's not so bad. It's far from perfect, but it's slightly better than the AR on the 359 for example. I have to remove the extra links so I can post a proper wristie, so these pics will have to do for now :)

Stunning watch!

 

I had my heart set on buying one until I saw the most recent carbotech release and I can't resist the blue on the dial. Still on my radar though!

Just ordered the kw w/7750 10% off right now. Can't wait. Enjoy it, this made me even more anxious.

I have a clinically confirmed phobia of manual labour, that's why I have such gentle and soft hands :D @steve123: You'll love it, it's something else. I just have to say I didn't expect the bracelet to be so thin, I've always imagined it to be more massive. But it's ok, looks great.

That tuttonero is a beauty. I've wanted one for months now.

 

How is the band to adjust? I thought I read that it uses pins, which seems cheapy for such a nice rep.
