They're getting better with the movements it seems.

I like it ZF stepping up big time

 

[tom_cat]

I really do like the watch and good to see ZF is taking the rep game to next level but, not too sure about the movement tho it looks good but something not right (only mean the aesthetic look, NOT the reliability of movement) anyway whats KW's doing

Doesn't look much different to my beater 305, barring a better shaped CG and non-matching hand and pearl lume?

i studied this new watch for almost 24 hours with out sleeping , i checked every single detail , i was looking at the replica, then i was looking at the gen at the same time, thinking! looking! and i saw very interesting things , i never studied a watch like i did with this one, i was impressed about my conclusion , i mean i did spend lots! of time looking , comparing, color! , shape! bezel! , strap! screws! the details on the dial! the lume, i had many gen pics, different angles , i didnt go to work , well i did go but i was just comparing pictures, gen-replica ... replica-gen ,,, , now i would like to tell you my opinion , cause after looking at both watches , i have something to tell you guys , i mean that is why i was comparing .... to tell you guys my opinion , and now i will tell u what i think , after almost 24 hours of comparing

 

[PecMan]

nice review !

ALE is jealous better review you should be pam mod

 

[kilowattore]

I would like to add to what PEC already said, on which btw I agree completely, a couple of things:
CG seems better than ZF 382, I think I see a small cut in the lower side, where it joins the case.
Dial looks very good to me, except for different color of lume on hands.
Pearl and bezel are nice as well, but the outer edge of the bezel should have a larger visible polished part. Pearl looks good, the rim around it should be flat and it looks rounded instead.
First marker on the bezel is too far from the pearl
CP does not look flat.


It's clear that these are mostly minor flaws and PEC is right: great looking watch and good effort from ZF
I do really like it and could jump on this, very curious to see the first that are shipped.

I really was waiting for Pec review

This is an interesting and waited rep.
Obviously it is based in the rep ZFac PAM 389 and inherits all the pros and cons
It is a nice and quality build of course, and many people will find here their Sub. CG chamfered seems better than in other ZFac subs.
For me the main flaws are the bad and inaccurate knurling (and most likely inconsistent, just like PAM 389) and narrower external upper polished edge of the bezel and the weird CP
I agree with kilowattore observations but I don’t see so bad the pearl contour.

Curiously the weird CP is inherited by the new Noob PAM 364 released by TSWatches, but this watch has an almost perfect and very nice bezel knurling

As I said in the mini-review of Noob PAM 364:
http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=192984&p=1951087&viewfull=1#post-1951087
"From my taste and IMHO, this PAM 364 makes unnecessary a good replica o PAM 305. Because it is relatively similar but have some aesthetic improvements."
And, Virpag, I said that before knowing ZFac would release a PAM 305

Then, pending future and more detailed opinions and reviews, you know already my opinion

The movement is the main issue imo. Unnecessary changes to the A775; the decoration bridge does not fit the screws, the area around the balance wheel looks like a car accident.

Of course !! Movement is the obvious flaw. But it is the same in all "decorated", isn't it?
We are talking leaving aside movement

Decoration is not my problem, ALE. My Problem are the brutal changes to the original layout of the 7750.
How reliable will this movement be? We don't know.
That's why I'm talking about it one last time. It's not about flaws.

I have it in my new 382 ZF V2 runs like a champ spot on no flaws no issues with loss or gain time for over a week and has three day reserve not bad

There are no brutal changes to the original layout. The inner parts are the same, just maker has reduced the balance cock to get it no visible and changed the orientation of the decoration of balance cock, to allow the correct layout of the decoration. NO INNER CHANGES leaving aside the balance cock.
And this is only my doubt, if the strong weakening of the balance cock could affect the working of the watch.

Nice to hear that. And I would appreciate if you can inform us about the maintenance of the working in the near future.
Since it is a decorated A7750 how can you get 72hrs of power reserve?
Thanks for the info

Gonna sell my PAM243 for a PAM305 ! I love also the PAM364, so I'm still choosing, with a little prefence for the PAM305 for the weight.Is Puretime the only TD selling the 305 ?
