how reliable the PAM bronze model?

[oldboyz]

hi there

i love bronze watches, currently have 1 : a Zelos watch.
a nice little one, but the more i look at those Paneiri.... dam it

i guess i'm gonna definitly joign the dark side.
there are 2 intersting models PAM 671 and PAM 382
both luminor 47, blue and green version, but with different movement : asia 7750 Valjoux Automatic versus Super Clone P9000 Automatic movement,
> which is the more reliable?

any advice? (i need to re-read posts here and compile the most interesting comment)

purchasse is planned before summer; but nothing hurry, can wait more

Unfortunately pam671 is discontinued so you won’t be able to get one.
VSF Pam382 is available and it’s very reliable. VSF P9000 clone is pretty solid movement.

Regarding the VSF clone P9000, I've had both my own as well as another member's movement suffer from an issue of where the rotor would wind as you manually rotated the crown to wind the watch.
In both cases, it was fixed quite easily by taking it to a local watch smith as it appeared to be a simple issue with the automatic module.

I would also like to add that my VSF Panerais are the only replica watches I've owned which have had significant water resistance (30m, 100m) out of the box.
While I wouldn't recommend taking it showering or swimming before it's brought to a watch smith, do know that these watches are made quite well with relatively tight tolerances.
