Yes, these new clone movements are running with more than 92hrs. of PR at this moment.
What people don't know is that this movement, well regulated, starts running OK fully wound, but is running more and more fast every day and from 48hrs-72hrs is running almost 1 minute fast per day !! and increasing every day...

ALE

Now that really sucks!!! Good effort btw, but I reckon we will not be seeing the 372 bordering super rep category for quite a while, unfortunately.

I'll grab a nice 6152 from DSN and play with it rather ;-)

Sorry, but if you give me both watch and not telling which is which, there is no way I can tell. =( Got to love all the PAMs, they are so beautiful. I so glad that rep. factories are doing such a good job on replicate them so common people like us can enjoy without breaking the bank.

Front and sideviews are awfully good including details. Really nice comparison, thx for this. Back is ok, nice try anyways. Impressed also by the 80+ hours of the movement. How the hands and dial don´t have at least the same lume is incomprehensible and makes it a no-go without a complete relume job. It´s exactly the lume and lume reflections from different angles which for me makes a PAM so fascinating beyond other watches at night. Could it be it´s only on this sample?

This is an actual production watch shipped to a buyer. I applaud the effort to have this 5th iteration in so short an amount of time yet I am scratching my head on the easy to solve inaccuracies on this one.

If you look at these photos is it me or does the CP of the gen look smaller than typical Pams? The rep CP does not look far off the mark at all from these pics.

i was considering buying this watch but the green lume on the hands is a nogo for me. I hope the noob factory gets this movement quickly.

Silly IMO in real life on mine you cannot tell the difference between the lume on the hands and the dial, in lume shots you definitely can. Here is another lume shot...

Great comparison OP, thanks for sharing.
I'm impressed by this new movement, even with its inaccuracies, I'm curious to see what will come this year :)

Does anyone like the dial on the H factory better?

I think H maker is better
-More accurate fonts in inscriptions
-Deeper inscriptions
-Darker and more accurate inscriptions colour and lume colour

Do you think its possible to swap the super clone movement into the H factory case with H Factory dial and hands?

You would need a very good specialist because to get the lume colour for matching is not easy job

Well that sucks. I have the H factory and angus version. I need to sell one. I love the way the super clone movement looks on angus version but the dial on H factory is so sexy! Decisions....
