Since these were taken (badly) the PAM 25 has gone to a new home and i have a very nice PAM 89 to replace it. Pictures will follow when the UK provides a nice day, so don't hold your breath |

Really nice collection. Jason Statham is wearing his 212 in "Transporter 3" which came out recently (Todays piece of really useless information...) and I've got a similar version (253) myself. What do you think, in general, of the cyclops on watches like the 240? |

I don't have a problem with the cyclops on Pam's or that other well known brand. It is part of these brands characteristics and imo you accept or reject accordingly. I do find the repetitive condemnation of cyclops in general, on some forums tedious in the extreme. Now the 253, and the 286 with hobnails i would own in an instant given the chance but the 212 being marked '1950', is relevant to me also given it reflects my birth year Hence why it was acquired. I only parted with the 25, as the seller of the 89 was keen to trade. Not being a lume freak and hung up on Tritium over Luminova, i was willing to part with it. I can buy a 25 anytime, 89's are a tad harder to locate and do fetch quite a premium. So, three down and more to go |

Ok, so I admit I might possibly have mentioned my loathing for the cyclops just once or twice!! At least it's inside rather than stuck on the outside like Rolex...it's odd that they put one on the Radiomir 8 Days but not on the 233 (The Luminor equivalant) and it's possibly one of the reasons I love my 270 so much... I'll get over it |
