PAM605 [HWF]

[KOT1917]

New release from HWF factory:

 

[kilowattore]

Case looks ok but I think I'm seeing laser etched engravings between the lugs and radial brushing in the dial is barely visible

 

[KOT1917]

I think that in addition to all the complexities that so far unite the 47mm HWF models, and which I basically just described in the PAM673 thread:

https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/panerai/10625653-pam673-hwf

We can add that the arms are long again for this particular model, the caseback has not the correct engraving from PAM673, because, in the S series and 1000 pieces, it is not true for PAM605, and also with this design P.3000, GEN was not produced , only the old classic form: 2 bridges + balance bridge.
The case 6835 fits the PAM605 Q series, but given the quality of the engraving and the location, it's all over the place.

Regarding the dial, everything is complicated: all pam 605s are not like gen, and all to varying degrees for different reasons. We need to see live photos. Although, given the non-engraved font and its incorrect color, it is no longer so interesting.

Good to see the 47s making a comeback!

Judging by other photos, the sunbrust effect is still there. Better than nothing.

Looks nice. Judging by the pictures I wonder why the 1080 is 30 Euro more expensive ;-)

 

[KOT1917]

Apparently, due to the fact that, according to HWF, PAM1080 is rarer (500 pieces), compared to PAM605 (1000 pieces)! hgoon:

But seriously, it's quite reasonable, because, no matter what form it is, PAM1080 is a new model, while PAM605 was tried to be made by many factories before.

Not to change the subject but KOT1917 I wonder if the PAM 665 is in any of the manufacturer's radar. It would seem if the 605 dial can be made, a 665 is a likely follow-up.

 

[KOT1917]

I thought about it too Martycus ! Unfortunately, I haven't seen or heard anything yet. But as soon as - so immediately.
However, it is clear that this factory is taken not only for the models that have already proven themselves, produced by someone else, so let's hope.

Finally we're getting closer to what I am looking for! It's almost a pity that the experts find so many flaws lol.

Now the burden of knowledge makes it harder for me to like it unconditionally.

I had planned to ask D to make me a 665 after what he did with the mini PAM605

Yes, I have seen this work. I would really like to see how he manages to beat 665.

always good seeing old model coming back into production! As a huge fan of the 605 I am happy

 

[mech500]

This is promising.

They need to have a go at 44mm subs

The sunburst and the xtal looks nice. Shame about the case and the the painted letters, but it still looks pretty. It doesn’t hit you in the eyes like some of the “shitter” reps out there.

605 was in production for only two years, 99 pieces each. Total less than 200 pieces. One of the rarest model.

Q serial has plexiglass and R series with Sapphire crystal. Both are only 99 pieces each. I have a gen R series one and could upload some pics later.

please upload some pics in different lighting condition but I know HWF rep is it even close to Gen.

Yes, of course, I know it. I wrote this as a joke, because HWF indicated incorrect circulation on the caseback for both PAM605 (1000pcs) and PAM1080 (500pcs).
So when asked why the PAM1080 HWF is more expensive than the PAM1080, I joked that they think it's rare based on their circulation data.

In fact, it is clear that they used for PAM605 caseback from PAM673, from there and 1000 pcs., And the S series. Just savings on their part.
