Best rep of PAM422, 372, 605, 968? Need reviews!

[rusalkamoto]

Hi guys! Does any of you have any reviews about 1:1 of the watches mentioned in the title? Is there any version of them that is super-rep quality, as the noob v12 PAM111 for example? There were some that I checked out online, but looking at the 3-days movement for example, its rather poor. The dials and the case however, seem great, but again, I dont trust the pictures as much.

Thanks guys!

You might want to take look at the Pam-Review-Guide: https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...a-search-identification-evaluation-selection/
There you will find all needed infos for the 422, 372 and 605
The 968 is not listed there. But there is a very good Rep from VSF.
But please keep in mind that all of the good Reps from these models are discontinued, but you might have luck and find a used watch in the M2M-Sales.

Yes, I am familiar with this write-up. Though its nearly 10 years old and I guess the rep-industry has improved significantly, hence I wanted some fresher reviews abouth the watches in question. Thanks though! Im gonna check the 968 vsf. Any recommendations on new, super-rep Pams?

Nope. At least not what the older models is concerned. VSF made great Pam-Reps in the "newer" past, but these where mostly newer models. For the 605 there is a new model from HWF, but it is far away from the good old quality.

Hello.

If PAM422 then SF, if PAM605 then ZF (In my opinion), if PAM372 then NOOB or ZF (Depending on front or rear), and finally PAM968 VSF.
The PAM968 is the only one available today when purchased new.

None of them will be at the level of PAM111 in the top iterations.

Hmm, this is what I was afraid of. Also, the 3 day movements are way off at every manufacturer sadly. The p.9000 even worse in most cases. Is there anyone in this forum, who sells OPX or OPXI bridge (even noob v12 pam111 is a bit off), or gen parts are not a usual sight in the Rep-Pam world?

I thought the VSF 968 came pretty close to being a super rep.

I don’t think so, but actually my opinion about this model, I wrote in detail here:

Beautiful watch, but definitely not superrep.

Wow how did I miss such a great review! Kudos KOT for putting up such a detailed comparison.
