PAM 127 - Grail watch!!!

I finally got my hands on the PAM 127! For months I was thinking of getting it's younger brother, the 372 but then "takuya", Thanh Do came along and told me he had a 127 for sale.

It was certainly more money but he made me a deal I couldn't refuse!

I'm so thrilled and here it is with a Greg Stevens strap he threw in the box for me.



Got some Mario Paci straps coming tomorrow and I'll update this thread with different strap combos.

Thanks guys for looking!

Enjoy it to the fullest!!!

Awesome watch. Thanh is a great guy. I have the 372, and would love adding a 127 one day.

Nice addition!!

I always wondering how does the 372 stack up against the mighty 127? I do know the 127 is much thicker and the dome is more pronounced than the 372 but what I am so interested to know is the ownership experience owning such a grail (127 or 203). Thanks for your kind feedback!

HAGWE & HAPPY EASTER HOLIDAYS!

Great addition, I was lucky enough to collect mine last week.



In regard to the 372, 127 comparison. Having worn the 372 for 2 years and the 127 for a week now. I'd say they wear pretty much the same, the thickness is probably the same its just the profile shape that is different.

Exactly. That and the dial. Otherwise quite duplicative.

IMO the 127 has the best dial of all the big 1950s cased variants Super Panerai model.
