Is the PAM441 Ceramic v2 by VSF a super Rep?

I have not seen a formal review of the latest PAM441 Ceramic V2 so a classification cannot be made. But why should the lack (and even the presence) of a classification prevent you from buying it? Do you like it? If so, then buy it. Even if the latest PAM441 was a super rep, it can still be surpassed in the future as there are things that still need to be improved. If you learn anything regarding buying reps, it's this, buy and wear what you like. Others' opinions be damned. Sure, it's nice to know how good your particular rep is compared to the gen, but use that to enhance your enjoyment of the hobby by tempering your expectations, not to nitpick at every little detail. Like you said, it looks very close to the gen (even the V1 looked very close already so this V2 is just a step in the right direction).

You're welcome. You won't regret it. If a better version comes out, then if you think it's worth it, then go buy it. If not, then enjoy your rep, go buy another model. No judgement especially from me. ;)

My 441 is my go-to casual wear watch...wearing it right now actually. Its fantastic, asso strap is very good as far as rep straps go. Its a very well-balanced watch and the fave of my Pams

Thanks preppyr6 for the feedback. I cant wait to see the beauty. So many options to pick from . It was between this or the 438 v2. I kinda like the contrast of this one. Plus I ordered for the omega aqua racer GMT too. One link rep , one strap. Good choices to start my rep journey.....????

It could use more AR, but rarely bothers me

Hello mysterio , I just have one question about the qc pic. Is this vsf v2?

The V2 only denotes the movement, so with only one picture, like ceesq mentioned, it would be difficult to make out. It is a P.9001 movement but whether it's a V1 P.9001 or a V2 P.9002 would require more pictures, preferably with the rotor rotated 180 degrees to show the entire movement.

I think its a V2...as the screw position on top of escapement wheel is correct..

No it's alright, nothing that Google Translate can't manage. Here it is for Frankslade 's reference.

So what I understand to you're referring to is the lack of the screw on the right side of the space for the escapement. For the V1, there is a screw. On the V2 (and in the watch), there is no screw. The other two locations are obscured by the rotor. If there is no gear teeth near the stem like on the V1, then it is most certainly a V2.
