When i got quality pics i got disappointed. As you can see typing is misaligned. Which is catastrophic from my point of view ... Can anyone comment this?

The Noob version was supposed to come with this clone... that's why it's reflected in its price. Some members cover the movement up with a solid case

Get a solid caseback and you've got an excellent rep for under 200

Why would the misaligned engraving be catastrophic? The movement is already wrong and it's still the best 372 on the wrist.

I understand your disappointment but this is not unique to your case, I've seen this misalignment several times. This is not a single watch issue, but may be an issue with the batch/run of the printing on the decorative movement plates caused this to happen. It's not fixable (replacing the movement may not be a viable solution since I doubt it has been corrected, nor reprinting the text on the plates, unless you have the tools to do it).

Like what others have said, you need to look at the movement in total and it's clear it's not genuine, no need to focus on the text alignment. Even then, the dial is one of the best PAM372 replications. And the price does reflect that inaccuracy. It's up to you what you want to do next.

You have a few options.

1. Accept the fact about the movement lettering, buy a solid caseback from nightwatch or Jackson.
2. Buy another version. More expensive because of the superclone movement but the alignment is better.
3. Get another PAM.

Fake screams fake.

You're aweking the Tripdog/Tucker in me. The movement screams more fake than your non-important engraving. Are you also wearing your watch with the caseback on top?

I just thought Watchstation was the TD without QC and you get what you get?

B

Actually Watchstation does QC the watches they sell. Just no aftersales guarantee.

Fake screams fake.

You're aweking the Tripdog/Tucker in me. The ****ing movement screams more fake than your *****ing non-important engraving. Are you also wearing your watch with the caseback on top?

Hey watch the language. There is no need for cursing.

Yeah if I am looking at a P3000 the first thing I look for is the balance bridge, noticed that way before the lettering.

Take a major chill pill Daddio. Actually @tripdog is on the thread and he did not get that excited :) If @Tucker gets too excited I will get his meds I have his chill pills ready :)
