Pam 243 M, H Factory

[Petrotime88]

I am new to the forum, and based on my readings QC pictures are not allowed to be posted. I completely understand the reason/logic.

However, I just placed my first Rep - Pam 243M, H Factory, V2. I just don't have enough experience spotting out any potential flaws this copy may have. Based on my untrained eyes, I spotted three potential flaws with my copy:

1). the lume dot seems either crooked or damaged
2). the cyclops seem more distorted than usual (this could just be camera angle)
3). the crown seems crooked as well.

based on the above, is it reason enough to ask the TD to provide me with a new copy (ordered from TS station)?

I would request additional photos with close-ups or different angles.
Sometimes is just a matter of distortions or poor lightning.

Based on these, you can then make a decision if to accept or reject.
I'm sure the TD will try to get the best watch possible for you.

The cyclops is ALWAYS distorted. It's even distorted on the gen. Without pictures we can't help you...this thread is worthless.

 

[Raddave]

you may post the pictures

By the way, I believe you can post your QC photos on this thread:

Here are a few pictures. Thank you in advance. Again it could be camera angle/lighting. Hence the need to have more eyes look at it.

It seems like the lume dot is a bit crooked and has a small scratch/dent on the lower left corner (in the 2nd and 3rd picture). The crown guards seems slightly crooked as well. And lastly the cyclops.

wtf? Can't see anything wrong with it. Its probably dust under the pearl. how in the world are you discerning the crown guard is crooked from any of those pictures?

Meant to say the crown/wheel rim. The crown guard looks fine.

It all looks good to me. It's hard to tell on the cyclops, but they are always a mess on the 243.

Can't really tell as the watch is tilted (which accounts for the distorted cyclops and the seemingly crooked crown, slanted to the right). Can you request for pictures of the watch flat on a table?

I asked for better pictures. Thanks for all of the inputs so far.

Buy it and just replace the crystal with a crystal with cyclops that is correct. plenty if sites online that sell better ones anyway. watch is perfect.

 

[Petrotime88]

Appreciate all of the help. They send me a new one and it looks much better. Shipped out yesterday. Will post pics when it gets here.

Any idea to source a better crystal with cyclops? Would love to replace mine as well.

tks

Ah great, some people say the gen crystal does not fit the 243. There's no easy answer, to buy a rep one I keep the original H fac.

 

[winz]

This one from my local dealer

This one from noob or h fact?

 

[Thrasher]

this is an H fac from a couple months back.
