PAM 1314
- Thread starter ellocity
- Start date
I asked Tony (Asian7750) and he can get this model for 358 US$. He already is in contact with the factory and they said, that the strap on the first pictures is currently not available. Who cares? Seems they ship it with an Asso-Strap ...
It is very interesting, there are many questions to this model, I am glad that you will be able to help answer many of them "in the first person". Do you have any VSF PAMs in this case for comparison?
The 1033 and the 1056. My VSF 1351 is still in service but with some luck it will be ready before the 1314 arrives.

The declared thickness is 16mm, and there is still a button for quick change of the strap in the photo on the back, and in the photo from the side, the slots of the screw rods are clearly visible. I guess we won't know which is fake until someone gets their hands on it and checks it out.

I don't want to deprive you of the QC pics ...

That'd be a pity, old Hfacs and Noobs were doing a great job with their proper quick change pushers by the time.
Those TTFs look interesting on pictures, can't wait to read your feedback once you have it on your wrist mate.

My TTF 1314 arrived today from China and as already announced, I am happy to show you "some" photos. A review will follow at the weekend. Unfortunately, my VSF 1312 is still in repair, so I have to use the VSF models 1033 and 1056 for comparison. Since I unfortunately had neither the Gen nor the VSF 1314 in hand, a more in-depth comparison will have to wait.
My first impression after a few hours: TTF has obviously made an effort and this model is in my opinion probably the best Pam-Rep that came out after the raids. Especially the structure of the dial is really convincing - it is finely grained and has an ivory effect like the Gen. The sandwich dial also makes a good impression. The gray is perhaps a bit too dark. But that's really hard to say when you don't have a direct comparison. The lume is bright and the "poison green" comes out well. I can't say much more about it yet.
However, two flaws immediately jump out at you: TTF didn't manage to copy the quick-change mechanism. Instead, the watch has the normal change mechanism with a screw. The button for the quick change is without function. In addition, my model has an unclean pressure at the small "a" in "automatic". This is a pity, but perhaps only on my model so.
And now the pictures ...

Hmmm, if they fix sunken date and font weight that will be great.

Many thanks JayBee0815 fot the review and pics
Now, we can get a much better idea of this watch by them
It looks better than expected
It is a pity the fake quick-release system
I encourage you to prepare a separate thread with a complete review. I think it's worth

Congratulations on your purchase, JayBee0815 !
It will be useful to see in detail and in comparison with VSF (albeit GMT), the first model of the new factory. Your photos are beautiful and provide a first-hand insight into the pros and cons, but I will look forward to reviewing them. I would highly recommend adding, if possible, data on the current thickness.

Fantastic pictures especially the lume shots mate, thank you for sharing :clap_1:
Looks suprisingly good IMO. The fake quick change is an obvious tell, but as a first effort at that price point - great!
