Hey all
Advice sought please ...
I have a pam111 plus a Rolex GMT and Sub.
Looking to get another pam and cannot decide which one...
I prefer the 44mm 1950 case hand wound as the case does not sit as high as the automatics... My wrist size is 6.5 inch so a 47mm is out of the question...
Any suggestions:
44mm
1950 case
hand wound
Stainless steel

The 233 comes to mind... Any others I could consider ?

Thanks all ....

I would recommend you to try the pam422 or 433. Yes it is 47 mm. But just try once ..

Wow that's a stunner can I ask what your wrist size is ?

What about the radiomir 1940 case? It'll be a different to what you have, but doesn't have the wire lugs like a normal radiomir. The PAM 512 is a really good looking watch. It's a 42mm so should fit your wrist really nice and is a manual too so it's quite thin. I've tried this model on and it was very comfortable. Having said that the 233 is a very popular model but a bit over 9k. The 512 is just over 5k.

Here's an image of the 512 I borrowed from Google images (not mine)

I suggest a 233 or 422. I went for the 233 because I think most all the straps will the face.

Radiomirs wear smaller for the record.

6.5" wrist, 47mm watch.

233 is a winner though, just buy it right. There are many on the market as it is very popular and you can get a good deal. Be sure you try on the auto 44mm 1950 cases first, as unlike the 233, they sit too high for my liking.

Just try on all you can. There are many good ones out there!

If you want a 1950s manual, I think your only option is the 233. 1950s models are almost exclusively automatics.

Maltie · 16 May 2016, 07:38 PM

233 without any doubt. An icon !

Tried the 47mm PAM422 - too big unfortunately ...

Oh very nice! But isn't that the 47mm?

Babolat · 17 May 2016, 01:09 AM

Yes it's 47mm felt too big ....

Minimalist · 17 May 2016, 03:56 AM

Did you try the radiomir 1940 by any chance?

Babolat · 17 May 2016, 05:54 AM

Yes I tried on the radiomir - nice but not to sure - I think the 233 is going to be the one . . .

prubio · 17 May 2016, 06:41 AM

hello !

If you already have PAM111, 233 bears his name written

Mi first PAM arrived this week

Surely the next is maybe 233 or 270

Cheers from Spain

Pablo.

You can't go wrong with the 233. If I didn't get the 312 the 233 would have been second in line. But I went for the 312 as the 233 at this time was out of my budget.

Good luck buddy and look forward to seeing an incoming thread soon
