fellowsis 1 Posted February 27, 2013 Morning gents, Just a quick question. I'm about to pull the trigger on this cheapie PAM from timeshops, http://www.timeshops.net/10168-pa0690-panerai-luminor-black-dial-ss-lt-asian-6497-manual-wind.html I particularly love the "OP" logo on the dial, but I don't actually know what model this is? Does anybody have any clues as to the model number? PAM freaks, assemble! Cheers, Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikester1200 0 Posted February 27, 2013 Not to derail OP, but my question doesn't deserve its own topic. To Pam owners, theses watches look very simple exterior design wise, which is a good thing for me. Unlike a rolex or Omega rep can you get a really good Pam rep cheap since they seem to look pretty simple? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted February 27, 2013 PAM 360 if I recall correctly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeterPotamus 2 Posted February 27, 2013 maybe it's a fantasy, the 112 has no logo and the 000 has a sausage dial Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fellowsis 1 Posted February 27, 2013 PAM 360 if I recall correctly I thought it may have been, though i've only ever seen 360's with a PVD finish. Still, its a beautifully simple design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unlike a rolex or Omega rep can you get a really good Pam rep cheap since they seem to look pretty simple? There are some excellent Panerai reps in the $220 - $350 range. There are some decent cheapies too, but they're still cheapies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeterPotamus 2 Posted February 27, 2013 PAM 360 if I recall correctly 360 is DLC coated, closed caseback and sausage dial Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wriggles 12 Posted February 27, 2013 PAM 000N but it's not quite right, so as a cheapie I would say actually fantasy model. LUMINOR and PANERAI should be either side of the canon pin, not up at the 12 position and this is sandwich and not sausage dial I may be corrected but reckon this is it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted February 27, 2013 PAM 360 if I recall correctly I thought it may have been, though i've only ever seen 360's with a PVD finish. Still, its a beautifully simple design. hmmm - instead of relying on memory I looked up the 360 and you're right, it's PVD/DLC. My bad... hmmm.. scratching my head here, as that's the only base PAM I've seen with patina lume AND logo dial. The 390 is similar, but lacks the logo.... Might even be a fantasy, actually...

Wriggles 12 Posted February 27, 2013 So a fantasy model I'd say then Greg. Not a 000 and def not a 360 without DLC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffw69 0 Posted February 27, 2013 It's the PAM 0. Not 000, just plain old 0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeterPotamus 2 Posted February 27, 2013 i think it's safe to say that one is a fantasy model Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fellowsis 1 Posted February 27, 2013 okay, 2 more and i promise i'll shut up till I buy one! http://www.timeshops.net/10167-pa0680-panerai-luminor-marina-black-dial-ss-lt-asian-6497-manual-wind.html fantasy? http://www.timeshops.net/10883-pa4700c-pam111-luminor-marina-black-dial-ss-lt-asian-6497.html again, model? or fantasy?

Wriggles 12 Posted February 27, 2013 PAM111 is a lovely model, though not sure of this one at TS at the price. Toro has a great beginner model Other one? Meh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fellowsis 1 Posted February 27, 2013 Questions about Pam's? Read this Pam Reviews Guide at RWI @Greg, is there a copy of this in here, as By-Tor reviews is? Wow Pihlippe, that is some serious reading there, can't believe the amount of models they have released... In all fairness, where I live, not once have I ever seen someone where a PAM. They're hardly gonna know the difference... plus, I just love the simplicity of that model. As a first one to get me going and actually see whether I can bear a PAM on my wrist, I'm gonna go for it. Thank you for all the info guys, it completely knocks me back the wealth of knowledge here. no more Omegas for me (gulp...) cheers! Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crusader 0 Posted February 27, 2013 Looks like a fantasy to me... 360 with non-PVD case. And sandwich dial. And somewhat dark movement? It looks nice thought, wouldn't mind one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You won't just bear it, you'll love it. Joining here is the slippy slope, you think you have it under control, then you get your first Pam and you realise there's a whole lot more sliding to go.....!
