Is the mechanism on the 960 noisy? I ordered a 904 and it feels cheap because I feel something noisy and loose inside it when I shake it. I.e. the rotor mechanism is really noisy.

Did you try oiling the rotor bearing?

all the 9000 clone movements have a noisy rotor, most reps do tbh. all easily made quiet with a drop of D-5 oil.

Here is VSF PAM960.
My specific concern is that the tiny cracks from the bezel pearl top edge borderline.
and the dirt on the side of bezel teeth.
could you please give me a second opinion?

I am aware of RWi rule about QC pictures. My specific concern is that the tiny cracks from the bezel pearl top edge borderline.
and the dirt on the side of bezel teeth.
please any second opinion.
Thanks.

Are you sure it's a crack? At that resolution it's hard to tell even if you zoom in. Ask the TD about it. As for the dirt on the side of the bezel teeth, ask the TD to clean it. Reps aren't assembled in the most pristine of environments.

Did you guys notice that the original strap has the logo in blue?

The logo is black on the PAM960, you must be referring to its bigger brother, the PAM1616, which has the blue logo on the rubber strap. But as mentioned, it doesn't really matter as Risti change straps on their PAMs all the time.

Looking at the official photos that are on the website - seems like the official strap comes with the blue logo... also seems like all the retail stores on instagram are advertising it as such.

as stated it doesn't matter with PAMS as almost every pam owner changes straps to what they prefer.

Here's a picture from a review on the actual PAM960 and PAM1616.

As for something being on the Panerai website, they've been known to post computer generated images with incorrect details, either as a result of their marketing department's laziness or as a means to trip up replica makers. But hey if you're stuck on the idea the strap's going to make a rep more or less accurate, good luck to you.

Not terribly loud but I put a drop of oil on the rotor for kicks.

No just my curiousity because I feel it should be. 960 is in my rep shopping list anyway.

Feelings are great for your personal enjoyment. In order to make a classification, we need to have a detailed review of the watch first.

I do think this could come close to being a Super rep. I got my rotor silenced and it is 95% better. Quieted down significantly. Since I got this watch, i havnt worn any of my other watches in about 2 weeks lmao. I love this thing!

Asking all other 960 owners.. Have any of you guys noticed that the lume on this piece sucks balls?? I can keep the thing under high light and shut the lights off and the lume is SO dim. I cant imagine that Gen is the same. Only downside to this watch ive found so far. Also, strap is a bit stiff, but im prob getting a gen replacement cuz this watch is the dopeness.
