PAM Logos - Long Arrow?

Hi All,
So total PAM newb - and I have heard of the long arrow and short arrow deal floating around. Can someone explain/post pics of the difference?

From my understanding, and correct me if I'm wrong the G series of the 000 and 005 had the long arrow - and the 195. However the current series of 000 & 005's have the "std" OP logo?

Anyway I'm guessing side by side pics might help - but for all my looking - I'm not sure what I'm looking at....

Cheers, Nathan.

I wish I had both watches, but you are mostly correct.......

My undersating is that all 195's had the long swept second hand. When they made the 000 and 005 series of watches, there were approximately 100 faces left over from the run of PAM195s that were used in the 005 series of watches. Not all the "G" series had the long arrow. I have neither watches, or pictures, and don't feel comfortable "Borrowing" the pictures to show the difference. Do a search, if your search foo is strong you should find several examples.

Sorry I can't offer more information.

Correction: Not having either watch, I was informed that it is not the second hand that is different, but the arrow on the tail of the OP logo that is different. Now it makes a heck of alot more sense! The 195 and 100 of the 005 watches had the longer tails on the OP logo like the original logo, and the rest have the more modernized logo. Sorry for the dis-information. Actually, Elliot has a wonderful reference piece on it in the reference section at:
