First post here on RWI. Just got back into Reps while travelling in Turkey and looking at all the eye candy in Istanbul’s Bazaar shops. Picked up a cheap 21j PAM power reserve based on a Miyota. Really liked the functional indicator but the fantasy nature left me in a bind… easy tells everywhere. So, research led me here. 6 Reps later… including one M2M purchase, I finally found a decent question to ask…
An SF PAM 423 just appeared on Puretime’s site yesterday (11/22/15). It looks like it may have a functional power reserve but it’s in a whole different price range than the cheap reps. It’s $378, or $428 with sapphire domed crystal. But I don’t recognize the movement. It looks like a P3000 decorated 6947 hand wind movement, not the normal cheap 21j Miyota or higher-end DSN-style 7750 with a Soprod. Could this be the first of a new generation of functional power reserve reps? I’ve emailed Puretime to ask if its functional but not heard back yet. Here’s the link:

And its by no means First CLass, etc. Someone in the SF factory’s QC missed “Jesels” on the movement plate’s “21 Jewels.” Currrent version of the Gen is also a P.3002 not P.3000. Hour hand also has possible wide lume, etc. Other issues. I’d be interested in Members’ thoughts on this SF release's likely movement if it is indeed a functional PR. Beginning of something new or just same old lipstick on a pig?
Anyway, great forum. I really appreciate the Moderators’ efforts, ALE, Trailboss, etc., and great content from everyone. Thanks.
