The courier scared the sh1t out of me when he turned up to deliver this today. My door bell was broken so I left my door open anticipating the delivery. I was watching for signs of the delivery van when I turned my back for a couple of seconds, then looked towards the door again and there he was standing at my door way yelling "PARCEL DELIVERY!!!" :goat::goat::goat:

Delivery was fast... super fast!! Sent on 1st Dec. It came carefully packed to prevent damage during shipping.

First thing I checked was the movement. I left the rep scene for a while now, so I was unaware of the quality of the asian 21k bph 6497 movt. I was advised not to wind the movt fully so I had the impression that it's going to feel like winding gears on sand and no clutch to stop the movt when fully wound. To my surprise... the winding was buttery smooth. WAIT.... (cue 70's porn music) "It's buutttaaahhhrryy smmooottthhhh!!! Mmmm.... buttaahhh!!!"

And for those of you who are new to this movt, yes it does stop when it's fully wound. Just don't force it when you feel the clutch that stops the winding.

The straps kinda smell funny when I took it out of the box... definitely doesn't smell like normal leather... smells funky, rep leather funky! lol! :lol: But it looks good and nice imprint on the leather as well.

Functional AR?? Does it serve it's purpose? Maybe not the best shot to tell here.

The lume is OUTSTANDING on this rep... the best lume I have ever had on ANY rep. You can even see it glow in a shade outside on bright sunlight. CRAZY!!

Here it is with my other PAM111... now I have 2!! Both wrists, why not? :lol: You can tell how crazy the lume is compared to the other one... this shot is indoors with window lighting.

For those of you who are curious, I got the other one from the legendary EL (yes, sadly... he is a legend now :( ) seems like a lifetime ago now. It's during the time when PAM reps have the incorrect cannon pinnion and have the option to get it upgraded with gen parts.


Hope you guys enjoyed the pics! :cheers:

Out of curioosity, why didn't you go for the rubber then get an aftermarket strap? Is rep rubber a give away?

No, not a dead giveaway, I reckon the straps that I've got on it now is. They are better in the photos than in real life. They smell and feel like rep leather straps, but they do look quite good.

Ive had 2 sets of rubber straps that broke on me, so yeah, no more rubber straps. Plus I had a few that just broke down (rot?) over time in storage cause they are made of lower quality rubber than genuine. At least leather will not break down in storage that easily.
