Hey y'all! the superclone maker aka SF recently released a new version of the PAM 375... need some inputs from the PAM consulting team on whether this babe is in the super-rep category?
Cheers

PAM 375 O with P3000 Superclone Movement
- Thread starter Asheron82
- Start date
Nice, but def no super rep 
http://www.pure-time.com/product/pam375-o-sf-best-edition-on-brown-asso-strap-p3000-super-clone/
CP is smaller as usual with SF, CG is missing the chamfered cornerd and has too straight inner shape.
Movement looks to be the most recent to me, seeing the jewels.
I hope the fix that screw above the OFFICINE PANERAI inscriptions! :lol:

OMG !!
This rep has been released TODAY!!! I have just seen it some hours ago !!
We will need some info and QC pics to study the rep and make a decision
Anyway following the pics from Puretime catalogue I can say:
- CP is smaller, like in all P.3000 Clone.
- Hour hand is clearly shorter and the length of the lume part is bigger
- Lume in hands is wider than gen.
- LUMINOR PANERAI inscriptions have a bit inaccurate fonts (see especially "O" and "A")
- 1950 inscription has inaccurate fonts
- "12" marker is wrong because has different font
- Worse CG and lever than current versions with no chamfered corners
- And the main flaw: INACCURATE cushion shape and lugs in the case . Serious flaw in comparison with the best version ZFac Ti+DLC and improved decorated A6497 movement currently available.
Of course movement Clone4 is the best accurate available. No doubts about this matter. This is the only advantage of this rep.
No more than a provisional evaluation of First Class bordering lower status. But I will reconsider downgrading all the evaluations of PAM 375 reps nowadays available, because they are not at the level of current manufactures.
I hope that helps
When we have more info no doubts you will get our inputs
