Pam Advice 2

Recommended Posts

just visiting

Looking for recommendations for a second Pam:

 

- White dial

- good lume

- date window would be great

- power reserve would be awesome (yes I have a wekness for power reserve)

- maybe Daylight / Slytech ...still haven't quite figured out the difference (which one do the experts prefer?)

- will it look better in SS or a different band?

- $100-$300 maybe upto $400

 

I am trying to avoid buying a cheapie at $99, but not ready to put down $400 for a supercustomized one either

Which do you feel is the best deal out there? (Links would be great)

 

Thanks experts !

White dial PAM with date wheel is the PAM 188 or 251 chrono.

The only other white dial PAMs I know of are the 113/114, the 207a, and the 225 slytech sub. non of these have datewheels.

 

On the 40mm side, you can get a PAM 051/049, white dial auto, with date.

 

Some white dial fantasy PAMs exist with date and PR.

Thanks - Impressive knowledge bank HD! I want/need a 251 or other white dial 44/45 mm Pam & it's good to know specific options.

I tried to order a 225 slytech from Jimmy @ www.youtube.com/watchcollecterhk but he was sold out. Haven't seen a 225 anywhere else but

I know next to nothing.

don't bother on the 225. they are long sold out. best chance is to snag one from a member.

Have you been doing this for a while Hounddoggie? It took you almost 13 seconds to come up with a dozen models that will fit the bill. It will take me an hour just to look them up !

 

Jokes aside, thank you for the quick list. I downloaded the spreadsheet that someone put up on this site with detail on every single PAM (not sure how up to date it is), but that would take my peabrain a month to digest. This is very helpful.

I've got the 188 with a SS bracelet. Weighs more than half a pound. The dial, except for the date window, is painted and that spoils it for me. Again, a case of most people not knowing, but I do. BTW with all the Panerai fans around, why have I never seen one worn? A guy I saw in a restaurant might have had one on, but he was so engrossed in conversation, I didn't want to interrupt him.

is the only difference between 27, the 164 Luthier mentioned & the 113, just the power reserve?

are all three still available Robert?

That's not a Pam 164. Pam 164 is a black dial auto.

Thanks - is that actually a 113? Eventually ill get a 251 but 5 unplanned purchases last week means finding a cheaper alternative or waiting till I sell another piece.

Nope. Pam 113 is a hand wind no date model. The only white dial auto Pam with date non chrono that I am aware of is the 40 mm 049/051. Luths is probably a fantasy model.

I don't think Robert sells fantasy watches. I asked for 164, and got this.

Anyway, it's easy to find 241 with white dial:

Are there significant differences between 188 and 251? I looked at the pictures on puretime's website over and over and didn't see any differences. Must be age.

The ultimate edition 7753 prices are the same as well. These numbers are truly a maze for the uninitiated.
