PAM382 - this watch is a rock star!

[Rufctr2]

Back in stock over at PT

However sending me a QC with misaligned pearl is a rookie move by PT. Fail.

You can realign easily the bezel, it's just a cap. I did a DYI for it.

This 382 has a good centered dw, but it's a new batch imho.

The pin of the CG seams to be in Bronze now as the one from Rutger .

The gen pin is in SS. So these 2 VSF 382 are the "V3" ?

^This.

The pin is stainless steel as before. I don't think anything changed compared to the V2 we already know. Else they could have fixed the CG "G". But it doesn't bother me too much.

Pls post a link to the DIY, thx

Hello guys.
Can you tell from the pic if this is a gen 382?

Not really. Leather strap looks nice, so do the crown guard.

I just received the new batch and to my surprise its inferior to the older models V2. Bezel assembly is different and strap is of a lower quality.

that's unfortunate, how much difference is there?, I never bothered with the straps anyway, most rep straps aren't great, a few exceptions but most aren't that good.

The bezel have a different click sound and feel. I have not popped it off but it’s clearly made from different click spring materials. The new watch also feels a tad lighter, I will put both on a scale for comparison.

As I said, strap is lower quality. Probably different manufacturers here as well.
