For the experts: what version of the PAM 438 could it be? Do you think it could be the last from VSF? Crown guard does look weird...

That is actually vsf v2. And yes I can see the cg is little different but even the reviewers are embarrassed how close they are. All They mentioned is just about the wrong cg and the faux power reserve indicator.

Great replicas are good for their business as it makes them essential if you want to be sure of getting what you're after

Slightly fat? Hard to explain but it’s minimal and only can see side to side

I have had the gen and the rep CG side by side and there is almost no difference. If there’s any differences now, then they must be using a different CG.

The PAM438 is an amazing rep.

Grim, was your rep from vsf or v6?

Really awesome piece. I've just received the watch from my TD.

Can I just hijack this thread a bit and seek your advice on resizing of the ceramic bracelet?

Are all the links removal? And if so, is there a fixed direction which I should be pushing the pin through? Really struggled with one of them.

Thanks in advance!

I think you can push the pins out in either direction (at least that’s how I did it)

Ah I see. Thanks much!

I had to use some strength but finally managed to size it. What a beauty.
