I think we’ve all looked at the 1074. I also think if vsf ever comes out with a version, this vid might come in handy when comparing gen to rep.

but for now, as usual, watchfinder did an excellent job with the videography and there are a lot of great, up close images.

If vsf rep it I can already tell you the flaws....

movement
Case
lume not the correct colour like 968
fisheye lens
crown guard

it will be a hard pass from me unless they put some serious effort in, 382 is still the king of bronze followed by the xf671

I thought they fixed the fisheye issue on new submersible models. I swapped out a few crystals on my 1616 and 799 but I thought this was really just trying to catch up to new renditions of vsf Panerai. So I heard anyway.

Certainly the formula is correct for my taste. 42mm is about right we just have to how it’s executed by the factories, VSF or whoever!

Always loved Watchfinder videos, this is a cool one. He did'nt make much PAM reviews and you can tell he likes this bronze.

Well, good for him, because I don't. I know everybody gets high about a smaller bronze Pam but 42mm ? Really ? I WANT A 44MM BRONZO FFS!

My friend just acquired this and I must say it is a nice piece. After handling it, I do agree that it will be difficult to rep because of the watch’s minor nuances that the factories somehow always seem to get wrong.
