I'm stopped from buying one only by the 47mm size. Are the lugs long on the bronze?
Actually I've a 16.5cm wrist and the 43mm of my actual Navitimer seems at it's limit
Would feel quite stupid to go in a PAM boutique to try a random submersible just to say "will think about it"
I know that PAM are all about "get it big" but don't want to exaggerate...

Nice watch C Master. I'm not sure about mine. I've only had it a few weeks. It's got a pink tint (too much copper? ) and the hour markers are very green. On yours they look tan, have you changed the dial? And did you force the patina or just wait, wait, wait?

I forced the Patina on this one. I have this about years so it had patina'd naturally anyway. As you can see above she gets cleaned up every now and again and I wear it clean for a while. This is an old XF or ZF V2, I cannot remember which. It was lauded as the best one at the time. No dial change it has only been waterproofed and serviced.

C Master why are the minute markers on the bezel (from 12 to 3) bare bronze? Shouldn't they be black?

No idea. Most of the time they appear dark. But have come up bronze when I cleaned it. So the minute marker darkness could be caused by patina.

Over cleaning will do that. Nothing some black paint won’t fix.

Just received QC pic, I guess the crown guard has been assembled upside-down LOL

Sometimes I don't get how they can make such mistakes, it's so evident that is not possible not to notice it.

Can someone please tell if the stock titanium buckle is 24 or 26? The pam382 should have a 26/24 strap correct?

I just discovered it shall be 26/26 and I've ordered a 24/24 Swiss army leather strap made upon request.

Guess I'll have to spend the weekend drilling four mini-plates of 0.8mm to fix it ????

I’ve just ordered the latest V2 382 from Puretime and the QC photos of the watch reveal it has a darker bronze on the bezel to the rest of the case!
i rejected it so now I have to wait until the factory reopens to get another one :-/

They are all different. It’s a living material subjected to oxidation, temp, humidity etc. pls post 1 x QC for inspection.
