Del 4,484 Posted February 15, 2011 As many of you know, I just received a PAM288 for my birthday from my lovely wife. The watch was bought from our trusted dealer Timesshop under their recent special offer. It is truely delightful . The Listing Panerai Radiomir Chronograph (PAM288) Case diameter: 45mm Case thickness: 17mm Asian Valjoux 7750 automatic working chronograph (28,800 bph) Black Dial with Super Lume on hands and marks Stainless steel 316L Black leather croc-style strap with new-style deployment clasp Sapphire crystal with colourless AR coating $225 + paypal charge + shipping The Order Ordered on 10th January Paid for by Paypal on 10th January Shipped on 11th January Received on 24th January using standard registered airmail (cost $10) The Package Small cardboard box Watch was wrapped in a huge amount of foam sheeting and enclosed in parcel tape Watch was contained within two clear plastic bags The watch case was covered in protective plastic wrap The Watch No visable marks or flaws Face, hands and markers all look perfect Movement was not running when watch removed from packaging Crown unscrewed easily Crown pulled out positively to both first and second positions Chrono second hand not at 12 o'clock Time set with no issues and gentle hand wind was carried out to start watch Watch continues to wind when screwing crown back in (a common "fault" I believe) After wearing the watch for a period of time, chrono was started, stopped and reset successfully Rotor spins freely and is not overly noisy Crystal is very clear and AR is not noticeable Leather strap is supple, well finished and of high quality Deployment clasp works well, although may need tightened slightly Lume is exceptional The Pictures The caseback and strap are all beautifully engraved and stamped The deployment clasp is also beautifully engraved Logo on the crown looks great B) The face is perfect The wristie Lume is gorgeous In it's new home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
