The watch is not mine and praise the lord that I dont have thin wrists like that mine are around 8.5 to 9. Found this video and photos at WeChat and look like I forgot to mention sorry for the confusion. I do have a proper 3kf v2 and based on that I can say that quality and the movement will be good but service the movement the time you recieved it. Mine felt grainy, sandy. In terms of this release I can contact the seller and ask his own opinion on dial and the quality. When we compare two dials through YouTube videos I think it's safe to say that the rep lacks the slight hue and shading compared to the real deal but other than that the lighting act similar on both of them. When we examine what's available on the market I think this is the best 40th dial out there. It's much better than the aftermarket dial that was sold on the c24 which if I recall correctly it was just a rep dial with genuine diamond indices. If you were looking for a good 40th rep then go for it heck you can find people on wechat that makes solid gold and platinum cases for calatravas and nautiluses, rollie etc many more. Recall correctly gold case set was around 5-7k and platinum was 9-11k and that way you can have its weight and its looks for a hell of a price lol. TLDR. Depends on what you looking since the quality will be the classic 3kf and how much you want it even if as to see in first hand or own it as a novelty piece.

Thanks for the info pal.
i ordered one ..waiting dor QC now.
8 inch wrist here .. with 8 ½ and 9 u can order a Big egi. ????
the dial is what i like the most... makes the watch look more sporty.

True big egi would be awesome but not im not into pams that much so buying one rep or gen would be a waste on someone that's not into Pams. Only pam I have is the 438 which I bought it because I fell in love with it when I was child. I gotta say that VSF did a sick job replicating it and I can recommend to anyone that wants to get light weight proper under that radar Pam. Calibre 324 is used on many pieces with modules and I fell like with the replication of modules we are going to see interesting pieces in 1-3 years or so. 40th looks more dynamic more impactful, playful which it does bring out its sporty side more compared to the blue one I guess but to me white dial is perfecion its under the radar yet classic and proper. Would love to see a your wrist pics or even a video on how does it look and act under different lighting conditions.

Looks to be printed but can't say anything on the bezel arm. 3kf uses v1 v2 parts mismatched to melt stock I guess. If possible i would ask a new watch but as usual can't say it will be for better or worse.

I have received QC as well. Question about the date window. It seems the date number is not centered. But when I see the QC above it seems that one also has the date numbers low in the date window.



Probably will accept this since everything else looks good to me. But I asked for a few more pictures with different dates showing. Anyway if there is a new datewheel made by Keylog then this won't matter anyway.

I'm pretty sure the QC I received has the engraved movement. See below.

Also, I am not sure how to tell if this has the new thinner bezel. But looks like it does to me. No real way to tell unless you measure it with calipers I suppose.

Who sent you this... hard to inspect with those pictures... i mean, is a 500$+ watch.
The other QC from tangokilo are better

The black 438 is a cool watch. I got the 332 and the 104.. i guess no need for more pams...they all look the same.
whenever i get the watch ill send pictures.
First time i ordered from Andrew (trusty)
there is a new breitling b01 that is looking hot!

You can’t ask these open questions, only if you highlight a specific worry

It was to see if this is a V2 watch with engraved movement and new case. Because this factory mix both V1 and V2 together sometimes. So just want to make sure :)

looks like u got a replacement with engraved mvt. my eyes are drawn to the left 12 marker. perhaps it's not noticeable IRL

Thanks! The 12 marker looks ok to me. Ive seen worse. I will accept it :)
