My new PAM 312

Gd info sharing.

I agree that the 312's price will eventually soften , to me I would rather save up more and go for a 233. On the other hand the 312 does serve to be a good value for money in-house Pam and probably will displace the position of the 104 as the most practical Pam to get.

In-regards to the issue of the ETA, do note that ETA's notice is that they will stop supply of base movements and will only sell movements as a whole which means to say that for many houses this may no longer be a cost effective approach. In Omega's situation(who's well known models are usually equipped with Lemania with the entry level pcs housing ETAs/Valjoux), they got a little stuck as Swatch decided to use Lemania almost exclusively for Breguet and renamed it as Breguet Manufacture. But the joint venture with George Daniels on the Co-Axial has gaven them a good way out.

Also, a movement may not be completely made in-house for it to be considered a manufacture, as long as the movement is commissioned and solely design for one party, it can be considered so, one such example is the LUC by Chopard which is designed and made by Parmigiani.

Tks for the update. It is good to know that your watch is working well.

BTY< I normally wind approx 20 to 30 rounds for all my watches, is this too little?

No, it's fine.

itz always the case for those who decide not to wait... a frnd paid almost S$10K for a GMT2C wh it was released a few yrs back... now can get forvS$7K+...

alas, there're some who paid a premium for 312 because they couldn't wait...
