i have found a ok condition 16610

vs

a new pam 024

which one to consider?

B. Doggy · 16 August 2010, 12:06 PM

I'd go with the SUB with those choices. Check out the 243 and the 305 before your final decision though...

htc8p · 16 August 2010, 12:10 PM

the prob with the sub is the remaining lume?

as for the high end pam submersibles out of the equation since i just want a tool watch for a pam

Make sure you consider the cheaper PAM's are mostly manual wind.

I was interested until I realized I had to wind it every day.....

The automatics are a little more practical, and look awesome

I have owned a few subs and I would much rather have the 24 over the dime a dozen subs. Subs are just way to common these days for me to wear one, and these days women are buying them just as much as men.

andrew79 · 16 August 2010, 12:39 PM

I go with 16610..... :)

destrow · 16 August 2010, 12:49 PM

go with an older series pam 24, before they switched over to L-dials. they are only going to get more sought after. i've had two 16610s and sold them both; everybody had one.

Another vote for the 16610, Bert

htc8p · 16 August 2010, 05:03 PM

Just when I was about to give you some credibility, Trev.

All submersibles are automatic.

Yeah, and even more surprising since it's in the PAM forum!

Based on your discription,

I'm going to go after this from a different angle.

Do you just want one watch or one day do you really see yourself owning both. I love Rolex and Panerai, really need one or each, but if you can't afford both....16610 hands down. Much more versitile and really a great watch.

If you are going to own more than one....doesn't matter just buy the one that is a better deal! Probable the 16610 since it is used. Then save up and get yourself a nice used 24!

+1

htc8p · 17 August 2010, 01:08 PM

there are so many choices really.

the 16610 and omega PO is a good all arounder (these i can use often)

the pam not too versatile but unique (going to be a casual watch and well taken care of)

but going to get just 1 of these divers no sense in getting more than 1
