Any TD can source any rep. Chazingtime should e able to get what your looking for. Just because you may not see it on their website does not mean they cannt get it. Send them pictures and a link to what you want. Good luck.

Puretime has one of the biggest catalogues so I usually go to Puretime to look for watches.

Then I usually send the Puretime link to my preferred TD to check for availability and make sure it's in stock, if it is, I'll make payment for my watch.

All TDs have the same stock so you can just do what I do. Welcome to the rep watch game!

If you selected the PAM499 as your watch. only V6F and ZF ever released a PAM499. H-fac and VSF have not made this watch yet. chinanoobwatch is not a trusted dealer here. Be warned.

Thanks for the heads up. From the description it "still" uses the V1 P.9000 movement. I hoped something would come out with the V2. P.9000 movement with the correct as per gen functions.

Actually, i am not so sure, if its really new. The piscures look to be the same like the one from Watchoutlet in 2015 - same photo angles, same date (28). The WO factory stated was V6F, Puretime says VSF. A bit confused TBH...

It's new. The 28 date is a standard date for photos (even for the gen just look at the OP website). Time is also standard at 10:10 (that is the universal placement of hands for most analog watches, not only Panerai). But if you want to be critical, the time on the WO website is 10:09:24, the one on PT is 10:08:40. You wouldn't take two photos to put on different websites when it's the same company. PLUS the movement is clearly old on the WO website (P.9000 based on A7750 movement with the balance wheel @11) and the one on PT is the newest P.9000 clone movement with the balance wheel @7. The WO ad from 2015 states V6F because there was no VSF at that time. VSF only started releasing PAMs and only with the new P.9000 clone movement starting early this year.

I didn't like the A7750 in my ZF PAM499 so i completely did a Gen ETA 7750 Valjoux swap.... runs amazing.. but the open back is a 'tell'

Well it was a tell even with the original movement. Such is the flaw of the A7750 with the balance wheel clearly at the wrong location @ 11.
