Thanks for the question. The PAM 106 and 170 are very close in terms of the actual look with minor differences. The 106 came out for 2 years, 2001 & 2002 each year having 500 units. The 170 came out in 2003 and 2004 having only 300 units each year so it was a bit more limited. The other difference is that the PAM106 has a brushed bezel while the PAM170 has a polished bezel. The rest of the two pieces are pretty identical. It’s a matter of preference if you like the polished bezel vs brushed as well as if you want a bit more limited piece.

I’m interested in finding out the difference between th model 106 and the 170. Is one superior?
