Changes to PAM 88 through the years

I've been searching and cannot if there was any major changes to the PAM 88 through the years. Anyone here know what is the difference between say a D series to a H series to an I series? Also, was there anything new in the K series?

That's one of the reason I made sure I find an "F" series. Also when did the silver sub dial came out?

I believe with the "J" series, you get the roller locking lever, and the end edge of the crown itself is thinner.

i nvr noticed any cosmetic changes on the 88s through the yrs so far...

i remembered the 63 was a GMT,without the silver sub dial on the 88 but with the normal second hand...i don't know if you have seen one before. I would prefer the 63...(btw,63 was discon many yrs ago...back than it was like only for 3 thousands dollars if my memory serve me rite)


i don't know when did the quick strap systems came into 88,but pretty sure K definetly have it...but just be sure the one you getting has it. It's a very nice and smart design for easy changing straps.

88

There have been no changes to the 88 and it has always had the silver sub dail, only the K series started to have the quick change, the only 44 with the Black sub dail is the 89 what is the titanium lum, or the "ghost" 237. the 23 (29Tuxedo) and the 63 indeed have no sub dails but a sweep seconds hand. See the diff on the 63 and the 88 below.

Thanks for providing all these goodies info! Can anyone provide a pic of what the quick change system looks like on the k-series 88?
