New Pam XF 616 look promising

Received mine today, not too happy overall but it is a rep. The crown and stem is super wobbly and the crown guard lever is very loose and don’t snap in place like the other PAMs. Oh, and the bezel markings are more gold than beige. So now I’ll need to send it off for a ton of mods to make it livable. On a good note, the CF looks far better than the first model.

Maybe it's the lighting. But it looks pretty good to me.

Nice to note the crown and stem. Something to look out for.

Damn, that's a shame to hear. Maybe I'll sit tight for a bit - this would have been my first pam, so don't want to start that journey with a disappointment. Looking forward to hearing people thoughts on this as they he get theirs - but yours certainly looks amazing.

how does the build compare with your V1?

Are you sure you won't wait for the V3? Well if ever it comes out anyway. :lol:
If the V2 sells well they will probably launch a V3. So I will help the future V3 buyers and will get a V2 within a month or so :)))) always for a cause, helping the brothers out!!

S.Martin which one did you get, and from where? Your CF pattern looks nothing like mine, and my stem and lock are rock solid, from VSF. The carbon fiber should have multiple obvious layers, not just two, and it should change appearance as you move it in the light.

First pam? I would look for a noob 243 V2/3 or 111 V3/4. They are sweeet :)

Mind me asking where you got yours from?
Its heaps different to the two tone listed above.

I want this PAM in real life, but 10-15K is too much :(

V1 felt more solid, but the appearance on the CF is better. The markers on the bezel are to shiny of a gold as opposed to beige.

Got this from the link in this thread at Perfect Clones. Pretty disappointed but hey, it’s a rep right. Lol

Yah that carbon pattern looks weird. You mind taking some photos at different angles??

The photos on other TDs site looks more beige than anything.

The bezel numbers and markers are definitely too "golden".

But I bet that is an easy fix. Hopefully they change that color! Everything else looks great dude.

I think i found the VSF website :), not too info on rwi on research about Vsbiao but perhaps some members knows it already here !
If you want some "normal" light of the 616 here it is :

I was searching some picts of the Pam719 and i found their website.
