Chose it for many reason loh

1. In-house movement
2. 8 days Power Reserve (read that actually it is more than 8 days)
3. Design
4. Transparent case back view though not the best of PAM

Now my wallet crying liao


Yeah I m looking for custom straps now... but today holiday leh.... many shops close
And I thought the strap should be cheaper...but also cost about $1xx - 2xx

yatto, this strap got bb vibe.

what is bb vibe?

Haha! even though your wallet is crying.. but you'll enjoy wearing it all the time

Hmm... custom straps typically run at a higher price as compared to straps which aren't customized. But trust me, the fit of the strap that is uniquely yours is just shiok if you customize.

Mmmm.. you can try checking out 20straps for some ready made ones..? (Like 80 bucks or so) Or like yatto and the other pam strap pros have recommended before.. Straps66 or JNS for customized.

bb vibe = tudor blackbay distressed strap vibe.. haha.

yes kena poison deep deep
Initially looking at Cartier... but after trying the watch in their boutique, I don't really like it... No feeling. It is just like seeing a chio bu but no feel.

[SkyScraper]

Pardon me for asking despite being here for quite some time,

I know for automatic movement, as long we wear it, we wont have the issue for setting the dates/ times since the watch will consistently be "alive"

However, for hand winding movement, do you all have to set the date everyday? or is that when the thing call power reserve comes in.
For example, Pams 8 days have a 8 day power reserve, means you wind once and it will last for 8 days. After 8 days without winding, the watch will stop. But if within the 8 days, you all can choose when to wind and you all will skip the trouble of setting?

Thanks for your intro!!

Yes being able to change strap for the watch personally is one of the big plus to me. I like changing straps to suit my mood

Look exactly same as my strap. My strap is damn tough.... Not really used to it so i changed to rubber strap. Btw is your strap as tough? Got any other colours?

bro.. any tips to prevent scratches when changing straps?
Just want to reduce the chances though its a norm to scratch the watch.

Edit:
Neh. Here. The brown one looks much better than the black.

Well, you can paste scotch tape over the screw before using the screw driver.

Or you can buy spring bars instead. That's what I did for my 219 and it becomes much easier.
