Hi guys,

I never heard about the King Factory before and found one of our TD's that is selling a PAM from this factory.
Do you guys know this one ? What are your thoughts about it.

I have seen them but when I know there are better ones out there made by other factories, I don’t take into consideration King factory reps.

There are as well some H factory PAM’s out in the wild but not made by the “old” H factory that was closed years ago..

Thanks for your reply :)
Actually it looks like it is the only factory building this PAM anymore (372) and is pretty bargain (at least compared to other factories)
150£ (excl. shipping) with sapphire crystal.
But i don't have close enough pictures to check the quality of this one, and would have to buy it to get QC pictures.

if my memory serves me well the King factory PAM's are all with automatic movement or at least I haven't seen one with a manual wind which is correct for the 372.
There is another factory making cheaper PAM's as well but they are not accurate as the VSF, Noob, ZF,..I have seen those having the P.3000 inside which is correct for the 372 but don't remember if they made the 372.

if you go over at DHGATE and put in the search bar 372 watch one of this cheap 372 will come out as a result, I think this is the King Factory version but it is completely wrong and not worth buying.

Haven't seen that one yet - if you ask some of the TD's probably they can source it for you. I am sure TD's don't list them because they know that us guys from the forum(s) prefer only the best that is out there. Good luck with your search..

Thanks, actually it is from a TD, this is the website of Narikaa where you checked the pictures :)
I just don't know the quality of it, so was asking for advices from people who might know about this KF factory 372

movement looks like a decorated A6497, there is no serial number stamped on the case back,...
looks like a decent replica face side but if I were you I would look either for a used Noob or Zf in the m2m section. They appear for sale from time to time..

I know this is kind of an old thread but I tried to get a few models to check them out and got (instead of getting what I asked for) got two 372s.

It is a self winding movement. The balance wheel is at 11:00 which reminds me of that 605 I got of M2M forum before I got the one I have now.

I have no idea of the factory but there is a king sticker on the back leading me to believe it did in fact come from this so King Factory.

At the very least, the straps and buckles are better than we get on vsf factory watches.
