226600b 0 Posted October 13, 2012 Just started purchasing reps and I love it! Ive noticed that In any large rep collection that anyone with a rolex always has a sub. Its a staple, always the first or second watch purchased. I of course followed suit. I then saw the PAMs and I want it to be my second watch I purchase. I was just wondering do PAMs have a "sub" watch. In other words the "classic" PAM, the staple that all PAM owners would buy first and always have in their collection? I love almost all the PAMs and know I will own more than one in the future but want the buy "The PAM" for my first one. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Crusader 0 Posted October 13, 2012 Who has the best the Pam in other words? You probably want 111 model, most common on the forum. Lots of options, from budget ones to the more expensive Noob versions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyril_Clunge 1 Posted October 13, 2012 Well I'm an awkward sod so my PAM would be the 127 but I guess most would suggest the 005 or 111 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pmcclean18 0 Posted October 13, 2012 005 was my first PAM to be fair and gets worn every weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balad1 0 Posted October 13, 2012 How about a 326 with custom strap? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sequoia 0 Posted October 13, 2012 My 1st Pam was 243n and I love it. That said the 111n is on my short list so you can't go wrong with that. Another consideration is the RWG watch that will be coming out within a few months which has now been put at the top of my list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 31 Posted October 13, 2012 111 was my choice. Loved the classic look and hand wind movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFleischer 4,355 Posted October 13, 2012 Yes- most popular 'entry' model I would say is the 111. Try to get the new V3 from the 'Noob' Factory. I also really like the 005, very similiar but slightly different dials and closed caseback.. Anyway, if you start getting hooked, you'll end up with a lot of different ones. Most of us have 111 or 005, a Submersible, a GMT,1950 case model, a chrono, and a Radiomir model. That's a good start! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dalboy 2 Posted October 13, 2012 What about the 253..gotta be a contender.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,900 Posted October 13, 2012 The iconic PAM must be the 127 but at 47mm it's not as versatile as a 44mm PAM IMHO. For me, it has to be the 111, and since the Noob 111N is pretty much as good as it gets in the world of rep PAMs then you can't really go wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
