From a Chinese dealer. Take this with a grain of salt, but it appears to be the rep in question.

I’m seeing this is a 42mm example. My apologies gentleman the information provided to me I’m finding incorrect. Mods remove if you can.

If that is indeed the SBF(VSF) version, then I can live with that.. I like the depth of the old school subs, a Pam sub isn't meant to be nearly as slim as Rolex sub, they're meant to have some heft to them and a certain amount of chunkiness, if the rest of the watch is good then I'll be getting this and the 1226 when they release it..

I’m disappointed in that not enough was done to replicate the case/movement in regards to the significant thickness differences. We expected as much from TTF, but not VSF/SBF.

Sorry... +1 for subs needing some heft even if that means we're 2.5mm out from the gen.

Of course we're all happy to see new productions coming. But expectations are quite high after a years of "pam reps desertification" and lower quality of TTF and HWF.
Coming from SBF, while its big sister VSF used us almost systematically to superrep levels, such a difference with gen specs is a bit deceiving by anticipation.
Can't wait to see more, hopes are high.

As I feared… The p9000 clone is too thick for the 44mm submersibles.
Still crossing fingers to get a p900 clone.
movement manufacturers have upped their game lately with the daytona 4130, AP3120 and 4302 clones. And those are much more complicated than the p900.
so I’ll keep waiting

Hello! These are not my photos, I did not buy this watch. I only share photos to visualize the subject of discussion in the thread.
