Pam 104, should I?
Hi guys, thought about adding the 104 to the stable, so far I have 422, 164, 112, to name a few.
Anyone had any negative experiences with the 104? Thanks in advance guys! |

Nothing wrong with the 104 (Mystro has some great pix), but, with you having two Bettarini cases and three crown guards, maybe it's time for a Radiomir? 1940s or otherwise? So many great options.... 232, 249, 572, 587, 190, 514, 292, 210, 424, 425, 449....

Thank you Cru, I will take a look at the Radiomir range, as well as the 1940 case range. *saw the 424 no date a few hours ago, very nice! |

I recently purchased a Pam 104 and love it. The painted dial is awesome. I like it more then my 233 which I sold.

That's interesting. What aspect of the 104 did you like more than the 233? I know it's thinner, automatic rather than manual, and completely polished.. the 233 has a longer reserve and the domed crystal.

The 104 fits the wrist better. Less cluttered dial, thinner, more accurate, less distortion when looking through the flatter crystal. I bumped the 233 all the time it seems. This does not occur with the 104.

Those are all fair and legitimate points (though unsure about the accuracy.. Suppose 104 has cosc cert). I did the opposite of what you did, letting go of the 104 for the 233
