Hi all,

Received a Pam 508 from Puretime 2 days ago. Realized the colour on hour and minute hands were different been trying to find photos online but most of the photos are hard to see and don't know which ones are the genuine 508. Another thing is from the specs it should measure 47mm for the case but just did a quick measurement today it's a 44-45mm is this right? I ordered the v6F real ceramic version with an asian movement and puretime told me this is the latest version from v6F. Sorry for yelling for help I am just a newbie and been trying to resolve the problem by researching before asking for help. Hope someone here can help answer my questions.

Thanks in advance!!

They definitely look two totally different shades/colour from each other.
I've just checked a V6F & another factory 508 & they both had the same coloured/shade hands on,
Did you not notice this from the QC pics?

Thanks for the prompt reply. I couldn't notice on the QC pics as they looks much closer in terms of colour.
Please look at the attached QC pic. I can definitely spot it on now from the QC but before receiving they look much like the same to me in the photo,

How about the case is it in the right size? And it claims to be a ceramic casing is there any how I could prove check?

Thanks again for the help!

I've got a couple of 47mm subs at home I could measure tonight after work for you but that will be 8hrs from now.
Don't worry,other members on here will be able to tell you what size the case should be,

Is there a way I can correct the Hands colour?
Is there a way I can purchase a set of Hands in the right color to modify it?

According to the ruler you used it looks like the bezel diameter is only 44mm. Unfortunately, I don't have the 508 with me so I can't check but I can't imagine mine is only 44mm. Weird. Are you sure the problem is not the ruler scale?
Unless you have some watchsmith skills and tools you probably will ruin the watch when attempting to remove the hands and reluming the hands with the correct color requires even more advanced skills.

Thanks for the advise! I have a watchsmith that can do the hands replacement for me. All I need is a set of hands in the right colour.

Thanks Hangyu82! Yours seems to be much better than mine in terms of markings and Hands colors! Is this the v6F ceramic version too?

Might have a hand set for you in my box I'll have to check in the morning. What movement is in it? They are yours if they work for you.

@Sparky28 how you feeling bud? Any work on that movement I sent you?
