NEW VSF PAM1661 carbotech

[studio1one]

Pulled the trigger one yesterday. This thread has really made me feel I made the right choice

Have we seen any pics of the dial in direct sunlight? Does it have that effect like the 1616 and the 799? Just curious. If someone could post a few shots, I’d love to see. In bright sun.

No, it is just regular black matte dial

just received mine, incredible rep !
the case is so light compare to my VSF 312 , and much more thinner, which make the 44mm more confortable on the wrist !
the strap is very well done too

nothing to say, VSF nailed it for me ! some pics for the topic :

1. Sorry can’t see anything wrong, but maybe I’m missing something?

2. Are you wearing it inside out so that the stitching will be seen on the wrist?

I would approve that watch in a heartbeat.

Thanks for reply. I am not a pro on replicas or general watches. That’s why I asked for advises from you guys.

+1. Can’t see what the OP mentioned about the second hand... watch looks good and movement checks out. I would accept this watch

 

[studio1one]

Yes, the case is made with same technology as the gen. Personally I think it’s a fantastic rep. Main thing to look for in photos is dial alignment with the case. Here’s an example of how my original was misaligned:

Bad alignment

Good alignment

With that being said it’s a minor misalignment in the first photo, some people might not mind it at all. The second photo is perfect.

Had to reject my first QC for this exact same reason, slight clockwise rotation on the dial. I think it's definitely something to look out for on this particular rep

 

[ernien]

Just a quick question for 1661 owners. I’ve seen some recent QC pics with apparent mismatching lume, the hands do not match the dial.
Is this an effect of lighting or possibly an issue with some pieces?

 

[ernien]

I think I’ve answered my own questions thanks to milke QC pics. Same watch, different lighting.

How can you even tell the dial is misaligned? I for the life of me cant see it. Am I missing something?

Same here. In fact, I don't even think it is misaligned, I think it's just the camera angle people are seeing.

The area I circled would look exactly like the opposite side.

A tiny change in the camera angle would totally change the perception.

I think he's talking about the "swirls" alignment? Never had crossed my mind that those were supposed to be symmetrical.

 

[GingerBubba]

No, he's saying the entire dial is rotated a degree or two clockwise from straight.

This is true and I may have been mistaken which is why I still accepted the QC on that watch lol... it really wasn't a big deal to me at all... and it's something that can be easily adjusted by taking the case back off and rotating the dial. Was simply saying it was one thing people might want to look out for in case the rotation was more dramatic than mine
