Danke schoen!
Hallo Henrik,
Guten tag!
And as for your question, I get what you mean.
Although it may seem that the lume of the lower dial might shine through there, the ecru-coloured portion that could be seen from the hole is NOT superluminova, therefore no light will shine through there in lume mode. You can confirm from the last lume shot of the piece, this was taken at an angle itself slightly from the bottom left hand corner, if it indeed shone through as you have thought, you would see the lume here. It is so bright that even a blurred shot would capture it, that's how strong the lume was especially when freshly charged with a real strong torch!
Danke and glad to hear you enjoyed my report!
Was it the way Chronos would have written it?

Nope i am Indonesian
Tapi sama sama yah ;) I wont know KL that much, and i get my PAMS from Singapore these days! Ciao Stephen
Congratulations! And a question...:
Your pics indicate that right in the center of the dial the hole for the hands looks a little too big, so that the lume of the lower dial shines through... or is it an optical illusion? The last 2 large photos of the 449s face show best what I mean, on th...
Danke schoen!

Hi, Stephen, I am extremely happy to see that you have received your 449, as I know how much you have been eager to get it! The strap, the bubbles, and the celebration are only but a taste of all the great memories you shall build with your newest catch. ...
You always speak so kindly mio amico!
Ciao my friend! Indeed this past year since SIHH 2012 has been a long one, with many ups and downs, but to wrap up the year before the new one gets in, with this baby is beyond blessed. I am still busy now, especially with the year end coming in, but i tr...

Phil, I wasnt sure if there are many here who would get it, you're the absolute first, and i am happy! Thank you my friend! I could not have agreed more! How's the family? Grazie mille! Ciao Stephen
Congrats on your new PAM449 Stephen!
Btw, did you have 7 straps made for your new PAM449? Or did you pick 1 of the 7 in the below pic? Cheers, Anthony ...
All 7 are mine Anths
I always reserve them as stocks, since all my PAMs except the 300 & 341 uses these. I was choosing which one to place on my 449. Grazie mille Anths! Stephen
Ciao Felipe!
Long time no hear from you! How have you been? Hope all's well! Grazie! Stephen
Congratulations Stephen
Your baby is arrived and your combo fits well. Did you try with a blue veal strap instead of aligator? Enjoy it and wear it in good health. BR, Patrickh
Merci!
Well, as for that i dont think that OP makes an OEM veal that has the right shade of blue that i want ( bleu nuit), and even if they did, i have this thing for alligator/crocodile ;) Will do! Ciao Stephen
Very impressive Stephen..
the tray of blue straps! And the watch too, I might add. :) Congrats! fernando
Glad you enjoyed it too!
Lol, everyone seems to be liking the straps more than the watch! Ciao Stephen
Congratulations!
Hi Stephen, Very well written and a wonderful time piece to collect! I am glad you got them, just too busy these days! Cheers! Nien

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all at home!
Ciao John! I missed you in SIngapore! Hope you had a good vacation! Thanks for the compliments! Glad you enjoyed it! Ciao Stephen
Thanks for your write-up, Stephen,
I love the simplicity of the dial. The case, dial and movement come together so well this time, imo . And I like the idea of the logo on the crown, which I feel, compliments to the design of the 449. Cheers to your new acquisition and wear it in the best ...
Grazie Ken!
Indeed one of the major charm point of this piece is that it's so simple, yet it attracts you into it's depths. Grazie and wishing you all the best this festive season! Ciao Stephen
