Thoughts on the Pam 560?

I have a PAM 560 a few years now. I don’t see it featured a ton on this forum (there are a lot of Pam models)

what drove me to this model was simple dial (like pam 112) and ability to mix it up with different strap colors.

Curious to get other members view on the model? I realize the 8 days on dial may not be everyone’s cup of tea?

I think it’s a very nice looking base PAM and I would be happy to own one. However I personally prefer the 112 for the sandwich dial, the way the crystal gives it a slightly blue hue in certain lighting and the more interesting looking movement so given the choice i went with that. 8 days PR is very nice though.

I think it’s a perfectly handsome and understated watch. While the sandwich dial gets all the love the painted dial is vastly more legible. And I really like the eight day movement - the convenience of automatic with more predictability. You have a keeper.

It's a great watch!

I was on the fence a few years back, but ultimately settled for a 176 in titanium with sandwich dial, otherwise the same style. I basically chose between a 112, a 176 and a 560.

I feel it's a great piece. The eight-day movement is nice too.

I thought the 560 had a sandwich dial. I am traveling at the moment so can’t check. Am I mistaken?

First couple years of the 560 were sandwich dials.

I have a 564, I’ve read that the first two years were sandwich and subsequent years painted.
