Isn't PAM533 just a new version of PAM270?

[Tyler_Durden_8]

Aside from the color of marker and a different strap, isn't it pretty much the same watch? Does 533 have the dome sapphire like the 270?

LOL. Sorry to disappoint you buddy. I am just asking a question.

Yes, PAM270 was introduced in 2007 and PAM533 replaced PAM270 in 2014. They both used the same movement - P. 2003. The key differences between the two is that PAM533 uses a faux-patina markers giving it a vintage look, but the PAM270 uses domed crystal while the PAM533 doesn’t. The present model you can find domed crystal model is PAM233.

Mine PAM533 says hi,



Current collection: 1) Rolex Submariner 116610LV, 2) Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional 311.30.42.30.01.006, 3) Panerai Luminor GMT 10-days PAM533

Nice! Congrats on your new acquisition.

Looks like you've got a 116610LV as well. That is a great looking watch.

Thank you for the clarification. The 1950 casing and the 2003 movement are pretty awesome. 233 still sits a bit lower and thinner w/o the rotor. I prefer the 533/270 over the 233.

Thank you for your kind comment, sorry there's a typo - I meant to say PAM533 doesn't have domed crystal and PAM270 does.

Since I’m already here… Could please any of you gents help me understand whats the point for a 10 days power reserve on an automatic watch?

It allows you to lay the watch down for a week’s rotation without having to wind it if you own many watches.

Allright, that might work if you practice a short duration per watch. Mine is one week for each one and the +20 watches in the box don’t help either.

That is a good problem to have.

270 has always been one of my favorites. Just looking at the difference between 533 and 270 before I decide whether to pull the trigger or not.

I will admit that the domed sapphire is a main reason that drew me to the 270.

No doubts 270 wins it
