PAM 292M - a pictorial review!

Recommended Posts

Del

I'm off work today so it gave me the opportunity to take a few pics of my PAM 292M! :P

 

Quick recap - bought it from Perfect Clones, A6497 handwind, ceramic case, superlumed sandwich dial, 26/26mm "worn look" strap with PVD buckle. Everything seems to be good so far - no problem with the strap/lug bars or screws, and the movement is working normally. :)

 

It doesn't feel particularly big on the wrist, and the strap is very soft and comfortable. Overall "feel" is of high quality.

 

And so to the pics - hope you enjoy! :)

Very nice Del- nice ammo strap as well. It looks very much like the 339 with different labelling!

Nice, Del - not sure about that strap, though, I must confess. I think that'd look better on a decent modern-style calf strap :)

I'm with Greg_r on the strap think a black one would look much better brown and black just don't go . Great watch though

Del,

 

yet again you have me drooling like a retard !!

I have an earlier (non-ceramic and shitty lume) 292 and am going to upgrade in the New Year.

 

honestly, just how do you rate the ceramic case?

True ceramic? How about the crown? PVD? Looks like there's some wear with metal showing through on the crown or is that just reflection. I thought I had all the PAMs I needed with a black seal, a RG Rad, a 312, and a 29, bu I may need to branch out into these other case materials, colors...

 

Overall, very nice, and I think the strap is perfect, but if you change it, go bumblebee with bright yellow calf.

Thanks everyone! :thumbsup:

 

I'll try to cover all the questions/comments in one go without multi-quoting! ;)

 

The strap was not my first choice for the 292 - I really like the plain black calf as per greg's suggestion but it wasn't an option on this watch (when I ordered it anyway). However, I've been very pleasantly surprised with it, and the colour combo works too imho. Having said that, I wouldn't mind having a black strap as an option to "dress-up" the watch from time to time so I've already spotted one on the WatchBandCentre that I rather like. If you're interested, this is it here.

 

On the colour combo tissotman - I think brown and black do actually go and it's a pretty common combo to see on the wrist check threads. ;)

 

As for the ceramic case, as far as I can see it's superb! Not sure what else to say about it other than it feels high quality. Not too much of a fingerprint magnet either!

 

The crown is PVD and I think there is a very slight "chip" off it - I had to get the loupe out to check though, it is very, very small.

 

As an aside, the lume is outrageous! I've just been outside for a minute and came back in and it is glowing like a torch! (And it's dull and overcast outside too.)

 

Difference to "K" series? Apart from the issue with the lug bars falling out I haven't got a clue! ;)

 

Hope I got most of the questions answered. :thumbsup2:

Great looking watch Del, I'm seriously tempted by one of these goddamit!! I also think it would look good on a black strap, it would go well with your Batman outfit when you and Rodney go out on the town!! :)

I wish they would do some black ceramic cases on the other styles, as although I do like the Radiomir's look in general my only gripe is the thin strap bars,I'm not sold on them as yet.

And thanks dryan! The Rads wear smaller than regular PAMs and are nice for a change. ;)
