Hi,

Anyone on here got a PAM 425?... I'm due to pick one up in the next few weeks and I'm still little unsure about it tbh. I put down my deposit a month or so back and I've committed myself to getting it now, but I'm in 2 minds about it. I had a similar view when I got my 372 and I love it now, so maybe I just need to get on and wear it!... although if anyone wants to make me an offer I could be tempted to let it go ;)

Any photos would be great!

Ian

Go in, put it on, spend a little time with it and see if it talks to you. If it doesn't sing, leave it. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future to buy one.

Thanks. I'll maybe need to see it again and then I'll feel better about it.

Any photos of those who have picked one up? Also keen to know what the production numbers are for the P series and if its going to keep the pig on the dial.

Hi Ian, IMHO it's worth every cent. Pics of my 425 for you. Cheers!

I had one......sold it as I just didn't like the way it sat on my wrist. I loved the dial and look of the watch off my wrist..........maybe the nicest dial I have ever seen. I really was upset that I could not enjoy this watch on as, looks wise, it was my favorite.

Try it on first and see how you like it. If it sits nicely on your wrist, go for it as you could not find a better looking watch!!!!!

Good luck!!!!!

That does look very good! Nice strap.... Black really suits it.

Thanks

Hi Ian, thanks. The OEM asso strap is very nice too. Here are more pics to help you make up your mind :)

I'm not used to the new Rad dials (I generally prefer the old-school looks, e.g. 232), but there is something very nice about the new ones!

Agree... Although they're not exactly new. The prototype 2533 dial gets my vote anytime.

Those dial designs you are referring to are hardly new........they harken back to the real "old school" days. The "old school" you refer to is not that far in the past and would not be considered so by long time collectors

Yup... What I said...

First pic is from the net.

Beautiful watch. If my pockets were deep enough I'd probably be wanting one.

IanD · 9 February 2013, 06:54 AM

Some great looking pics... Very tempted. Love the vintage pic!

Heck, I say go for it - the 425 Radiomir will compliment your 372 Luminor nicely and just imagine having two of the most historical dials possible...
