PAM 111M Noob version *first buy*

[deftangle]

Hi guys. This is going to be my first rep buy. And can't wait till receiving it!

I own a gen Omega Seamaster Prof and was looking for quite a while to buy myself a new watch. Although I follow this forum for over 2 years I never bought myself a rep. Guess because I was to afraid of the whole proces.

While ago came onto the PAMs and after looking around and checking gens. I made the decission to buy a REP 111M.

My first one therefore will be a 111M Noob version. I have received the QC pics and with my knowledge they look ok. Only thing is that I don't have the lume pics yet but requested these.

Can you guys give me a helping hand and tell me what you guys think from the QC pics. When the watch arrives I will keep you updated and make new pics.

Thanks!

Nice, very nice!

I like the 111.

Looks good,.....

If Mambo says looks good , all is OK! Nice!

The only thing I can see when zooming into the pictures. Is the following. Is this because of the picture or may it just be some grease? Any ideas?

 

[Mambo]

Looks like dirt/grease etc ... at least nothing to worry about IMHO

what is the mark on the officine text ?

 

[deftangle]

Hope it aint the blue paint colour from the word "officine". I requested the seller to clarify.

I have spend a couple of hundred dollars to get to the point that I am satisfied with my 111. And this one comes pretty damn close for a fraction off the price.

Think I will not accept this if the "bleeding" is on the bridge plate. In my opinion a quality flaw for this price. What do you guys think? Made a compare of an other 111M Noob with mine.

ATT: defective Swan neck device

Please observe the Swan Neck the micrometric screw doesn't touch seemingly (clearly?) the dagger (Swan Neck spring has not tensile strength enough), and the screw is very short (it will not be able to achieve the (-)Slower position)

I hoped to have better swan neck in the new replicas but it seems there are faults too !!

Read about this my threads of Swan Neck in Pams forum (stickied)

I made the decission to let the supplier ship the watch. Must not forget that this is a rep and for every problem there is a solution. A lot for me to learn and learning is a good proces.

Will keep you guys informed

External stains I hope no problem
Swan Neck, obviously defective. Anyway it will be cosmetic, and it seems almost decoratively OK, no problem IMO

But inner stain in OFFICINE I think It would be a serious fault
Consider ask the dealer for cleanning it if possible before shipment

 

[mywatches88]

That looks good. Who is the dealer?

Looks pretty good to me.
