Member X 91 Posted December 15, 2009 Or at least I think it's a PAM 24? Looks like this, which I assume is the correct listing details! lol http://www.watches.co.uk/watch.php?wid=8937S Got this one off ebay (again lol) Paid a little bit more than I wanted to but I hadn't bought anything in ages so was getting desperate Still came in at about £32 I think, which isn't too bad. Dial is well finished. Strap is rubber and soooooo comfy because it's slightly stretchy Bit of a dust magnet but then you can't have everything... Nice weight to it, feels nice and sturdy, and the bezel clicks solidly round in 12 steps. It's very slightly misaligned though, which is a shame, but not so much that you really notice it day to day. (Does anyone know how I can move the 'click' points anticlockwise by about 1 'minute'??) Lume is normal rep lume but nice and bright on first charge. Pearl is also lumed(!) and pretty nicely finished for such a 'cheap' watch. Movement is another Asian auto but, as with all my other Parnis autos, starts straight up with just one face-down swirl and has been keeping good time so far. Feels good to adjust, date clicks cleanly round, and when I accidently started hand-winding it this morning (oops!!) it felt nice and tight inside, with none of the terrible grinding feeling and noises you get on some! Anyway, on to the pics. They're not great but it was late... lol I'm very happy with it, I like it more than I thought I would! And being homage means I don't have to worry about accuracy, which is cool B) Now I want them to make the North Pole version! Oh, and as an added bonus, a pic of the watch box that my mate got me for being his best man I need another one for the rest of the watches! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted December 15, 2009 Yeah, that's an 024 homage. Kinda sorta. I'll confess I'd have bought Tat's version for just a little more (about $80) - the 'PARNIS' on the dial and that damn silly CG really makes me cringe. Sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted December 15, 2009 I completely forgot about Tat tbh! I'm not too worried about the name, it's not like anyone ever looks at my wrist lol I might see if I can get a CG off him though - probably different size screws/holes on it but hopefully not...

Member X 91 Posted December 15, 2009 This is the one on Tat's website: http://www.siswatch727.com/showroom/model/...527916921003167 Waffle dial is more accurate from what I can see. I wonder if he can get the dial...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jackson Tse sells CGs separately, but I'm not sure whether Tat will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted December 15, 2009 Just a thought, but would those CGs qualify as being a 'deformed Parnis'? :rofl: Sorry, I'll get my coat... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sconehead 5 Posted December 15, 2009 Just a thought, but would those CGs qualify as being a 'deformed Parnis'? :rofl::rofl: Sorry, I'll get my coat... Greg has left the building... Jackson sells his cg's, with screws for $10 shipped... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P_Diddy 0 Posted December 15, 2009 The one from Tat is nice, how accurate is it?

greg_r 81 Posted December 15, 2009 It's a homage rather than a rep, but it's reasonably close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
