Hello,

I have ordered a week ago a PAM005 from XF, and regarding the current factories situation, my dealer offered other alternatives that he can get easier apparently.

So I decided to go with a PAM634 from HWF.

However, I didn't find a lot of pictures or reviews from actual owners.

Do you guys have some details on the quality of the HWF model?

Even if you do not have the 634 but similar models, your opinion is appreciated:

Thanks

Hello! Here is a thread of discussion of this model:
https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/panerai/9486021-hw-factory-pam634-774-777-915

The biggest and most unpleasant problem, in my opinion, is the lack of engraving on the CG lever.
Also, flaws in screw rods, instead of springbars, a CG roller, which should be absent and a faceted backcase, instead of a round one.
The shape of the case and the specifics of the manufacture of its parts and dial, I think, does not make sense to deeply consider in this context.

Hey, Thank you for the link.

Yes from what i read this is not a super rep.

However, the mentioned flaws do not bother me as these are standard specs for PAM watches (the screw bars, non engraved crown guard etc...)

I would just want to see how is the crystal, the lume, the indices color... Etc

Unfortunately, no one has shown this model from the HW factory on the forum yet, but you can watch the video on the Trusty website, it is not of the best quality, but it may answer some questions.
I think if you are satisfied with the aspects above, then I don't think there is any point in worrying about the rest.
However, if I find additional photos, I will definitely share!

It seems HWF has since added the engraving in the lever. Here is a stock pic from Hont.
