OK guys. Mine has just arrived. Thanks Ken!
TBH I am very amazed about the quality - those little flaws are not too important for me. All in this thread already.
I had the gen on twice now and msut say the only thing a bit annoying is the bezel inlay seems to be a bit rounded on the rep- just a little bit but noticeable in direct comparison.
What really feels good is the strap. Superb flexibility.

Will be a C& R for me though as I am not 100 % in love with it - just 95 % Look out for m2m sales the next days!

Enough talk - PICS!!!

The ZF is a little rounded also. Isn't the gen bezel?

Co-ax your watch looks fantastic and the finish and details seem awesome

Regarding rounded ceramic bezel upper surface. I was worried about this matter from your gen pics. Is it actually noticeable? or you would need direct side by side comparison to see it?

Doesn't look your pearl less rounded (more accurate) than previous watches?

Thanks for sharing

ALE, my friend

I would not call it a big issue as it does need side by side copmarison to get the impression - but I did notice it. Not a problem for people interested in this (very, very good rep) who did not have the gen in hands (retail price EURO 9.800 btw). I recon this a far better made than normal rep - but no super rep. See this thread: Case, Bezel, etc.


Cheers

Nice pics A lot better than mine. Need a new mobile phone I guess

@ALE: I guess we won´t see a rep with good knurling work on the bezel in the near future. They probably don´t use European or Japanese machinery on those.

Thanks, but if you see what I have done with this beauty i guess you think i'am crazy.
The rotor was a bit noisy, so I remove the current PAM rotor and this p.9000 deco plate and install a old AP rotor with a good bearing.
Looks strange but the movement is very quiet now and i thing with a closed case back is this mod no problem.
In my heart i'am still a little AP guy [emoji6][emoji6][emoji6]

I think is due to Titanium material too soft to allow a better finish at the deepest part of the knurling

Anyway last PAM 305 made of Ti from H maker seems to have a nice knurling on bezel and of course PAM 364 from Noob

But it is not only the finish because the shape and section are also wrong.

See the rough finish at the deepest part of the knurling.
I'm disappointed by that
