Title: Sweet PAM25
Post by: terrenceterrence on July 21, 2010, 07:21:54 AM

When the nights are quiet and I find myself having nothing better to do, I surf for Pam 25 photos!!!  :Laughing_on_floor:

I see it as an attainable grail for the foreseeable future.

Anyone have a favourite submersible?

Early PAM A,B or C series without the hash minute markers

Oxidising your Pam with OxiClean. Can use Napisan over here. It's the same stuff

Wa~~ i will not do that really to "oxidising" my watch... no way  :thumbsdown:

the older PAM25 has one issue, the bezel easy to lose and not as firm as other...

if you get one online maybe that's something you need to be aware ;)

cheers!

Thanks for the heads up. Was going to ask the exact question about the sub bezel cause all those that I tried is shrink wrapped.

I do like the new ones with hash markers. Btw is it half minute or one minute increment?

For Ti, it needs the strong TiO2 layer to protect the base Ti. Unlike ferrous metal, the oxidized layer (a.k.a rust) is weak, it breaks easily and hence it does not protect the base.

I guess that's the reason why they ask us to just "clean" our titanium bicycles by scrubbing it with a steel wool to get rid of the surface layer "rust" and wiping it clean with a damp cloth.

On the same token, I guess Ti is quite durable
