I've received this week my Pam328 from ZF,
It is one of my first rep so I have not the experience to make a judgment about the quality but the first thing I do is on the bracelet, it need some clean-up it is a little bit dirty.
Further more I must say, it is a big and heavy watch.

Regards,
Ruud.

Sorry, I have not enough expertise on the real thing so I can not scale it.....

But for me is it a nice watch.
I have cleaned the bracelet with a toothbrush and a little soap, that was necessary.
It's keep timing with an accuracy of 4 sec a day.

Keep in mind that it is a big and heavy 255 gr watch, you will now you wearing it.. :)

Regards,

Ruud.

This watch is just started and we have not yet enough info about it

It really seems worse finshed than a KW equivalent like PAM 312, and the bracelet seems also worse finshed than bracelets from Noob factory
I don't like either the painted "jewels" in decoration of movement
It is very odd IMO the appearance of the bevelled in the crystal

If you like this type of watch better go to a KW PAM 312, although it has not bracelet it is all the same, but KW watch will have better quality overall
Besides this watch with leather strap will be way less heavy (you will realize the great weight of this watch with a SS bracelet)

I wish they still made them this good.

As far as i can tell all new zf 3 day pams have manufacturing faults with the CG position which forces the dial to be rotated counter clockwise.

You lost me there. Rotate the dial?

Sorry some pics will help.

As far as i can tell ZF has changed the way they mount the panerai 1950 case mocements at some stage. They used to use the same 3 screw method that KW uses. When this was the case the dials were straight (correct). More recently they have been allowing the movement holder to 'float' in the case. Its location is largely influenced by where it is held in position with the crown with only a slight opportunity to move it.

All 4 ZF's ive got in the last 12 months (plus many others ive seen on here) seem to share a common problem. The dial is not aligned properly. Its easiest to tell with the "12" marker. Its a couple degree's counter clockwise from where it should be. At its worst its really noticable. At best its still "wrong" but less perceptible. You will instantly notice it if you have it next to a watch that doesnt have the problem.
