first cali dial pam 448 hands on and mini review

[vader1]

qc pics i got for my two 448‘s

and hands on photos?

after talking with ALE there are two flaw we can now confirm:


Op logo on the crown is still too flat?http://www.replicawatchvideo.com/pa...-strap-p3000-super-clone-video_8dd0cfc8f.html


two decorative plates have different alignment of brushing (i orderd two 448's and both have same problem which in pam 372 was correct?


according to ALE :Last batches of clones P.3000 for PAm 448 have more accurate engravings but the brush alignment is different like mine:

Below pic shows the difference between GEN and REP logos ?done by ALE?

Is the minute hand tip bent downward like the gen?

Thanks vader1 for this interesting thread which shows some flaws and some improvements in this new rep watch PAM 448 with Clone2 P.3000 movement
I'm saying Clone 2 because the engravings of the main bridges have been improved substantially, despite the brushing misalignment discovered by vader1

Vader1 send me a PM because he had realized the different alignment of brushing between movement bridges. I studied his pics and confirmed the misalignment. I honestly had not noticed it.


This difference is little but noticeable and didn't exist in first Clone1 movement of PAM 372. You can see it in the pic above published by vader1


But as commented by vader 1 new batch of Clone2 has more accurate engravings on bridges


I think new batch Clone2 movements are overall more accurate, despite the brushing alignment difference.

Vader1 also tell me that Crown logo was a bit thicker which I have already noticed (it is even a bit less deep)
Aboce pic published by vader shows the difference between GEN and REP logos

Two flaws I can certainly live with. She's a beauty.

IMHO, the canon pinon is a bit smaller than Gen.

Could be fix by watch smith?

Yes I agree completely
Not an easy fix, if not impossible
Thanks
