Pam 359

[Robb]

I have placed an order with TD for a Pam 359Q ZF with Asian 7750.
TD replied "out of stock change to VSF" which has a clone movnt
I am waiting for TD to get back to me.
In the mean time as I wait I would appreciate any feedback re this Model and if im forced to select the VSF
Should I go with the Clone movtn ?
Thank you kindly

I have first ordered 688 from VSF with clone movement (the same one just with GMT added on) and it's brilliant. I wasn't lucky with that one and had +8s/day, but regulated it down to +1 using my phone with wildspectrum.
I have 359 from VSF on order and already accepted QC. If it is anything like 688, I will be more than happy with that. ZF is a good factory, but have seen quite a few reps with QC issues from ZF and in case of Pams, I prefer VSF version if available.

Anyone care to share how to replace the rep strap on the VSF 359R
Do they unscrew from the side of lugs same as the 411 & 111 Pam model ?
Thank you

No they do not. The PAM359 uses a quick release method which requires a special plastic tool to change straps. However, in an emergency you can use a tooth pick broken in half.

So is it same as the Gen
Push down on the back of the round slots on the side ?
