i am going to pick up my pam 88 (FINALLY) tommorrow, can you guys help me verify this is a legit watch.

also if you can tell me what exactly this watch comes with.

here are some pics:

Launch Mini · 17 January 2007, 11:12 AM

You should receive a total of 3 boxes. The outer cardboard as per the pics, a black inner with one side that folds down for easy access, then the inner pear box.
The pear box should have a chrome plaque inside.
The watch is set in the velvet pillow area. Not sure if this model comes with a second strap or not. If it does, a screwdriver & second strap should be in there too.
I see you have the COSC certificate. The box case & model numbers appear to match those on your watch.
Not sure what that strap in the pic is about.
I did not receive the two smaller OP tags as per your pictures.
So far, looks good.
Darem might be able to shed some more light.
Did you not buy from an AD?

djemmtee · 17 January 2007, 11:26 AM

Launch,

im buying a private party watch, saving some dough....lol

this watch was sold to him on 11/2/2006

Launch Mini · 17 January 2007, 11:28 AM

One other thing is the blue registration card. Looks like a credit card,but you fill in your name ( or original owners). Has the case, model & SN on it

djemmtee · 17 January 2007, 11:29 AM

this right?

dman · 17 January 2007, 11:31 AM

First question is who did you buy it from? You can PM me if you want to keep the details private. Everything looks good, but the seller is the most important thing mate.

You are going to LOVE the 88, I have been wearing mine almost 24/7 since I moved.

The reason that I say the seller is the most important is because I have seen two guys that were selling watches using my pics from sales ads. As long as you get good vibes from the seller, you should be straight.

djemmtee · 17 January 2007, 11:32 AM

another thing, that was cool was the weight of the watch....this things a beast compared to my sub!

It's funny, I can switch from the 88 to the DJ and in a matter of minutes, there is NO problem at all.

I can't really say with the LV since it is in the box getting ready to visit the postman.

i saw the gnarly scratch on the band....what happend to the LV?

Sweet watch, all the numbers seem to match up.

You realise that once you get over paneritis you will be smitten by pamstrap-itis. There's a huge selection of straps and it is surprising how a strap actually changes the whole look of the watch. I've been asked a couple of times "Another watch??" when the answer is "No just a new strap"

Enjoy it
