PAM 382 Bronzo - QC Pics allowed Thread

[shelby1501]

The KW's have been tested by Ale and have been found to be indeed real bronze.

The ZF's haven't been tested but appear to be bronze also.

It wasn't actually a question if it's real bronze but if it's the same as a gen which was confirmed on KW but not on ZF.

The ZF is real bronze, no doubt about that.
But there are many different bronze alloys

SO ZF is some kind of bronze ? is it solid bronze or plated ? I have read here where people have complained that the bezel on the ZF has had some SS showing.

we know that the KW version is solid bronze.....I guess I have to ask.... is the bezel on the KW solid bronze as well ?
just wondering because I don't know anything about the Pam 382 except what I have read on this site. I might have missed the part about whether the bezel is solid bronze
as well.

thanks

Ale, have you noticed that the ZF v4 has glossy bezel marker paint instead of the matte filling KW has?

Thanks for the input and regarding this watch you are right

But the problem is that currently PAM 382 batches are completely inconsistent regarding quality and features

I have left the discussion some weeks ago, seeing the differences and flaws we have found either from KW or from ZFac (materials, finishing, chamfered, paints... etc)

At this moment it is almost impossible to get a correct PAM 382

I know, I tried ordering a KW v3 from a TD some weeks ago. Got QC of 3 watches, all had wrong crown and CG. KW produces shit since December 2015

A friend of mine looked for a 382 and I advised him to go for a ZF. He got these QC pics today. Altough the markers are filled with a glossy black paint he accepted them. I think it's the only thing off on this piece.

I wish I would have stayed with my perfect 569...

I noticed also that the ZF seems to have rather flush hour studs ...not completely flush but not as raised as the KW.
On the other hand the 15 -30-45 markers always seem to be straight.

[How is the crown on this ZF ? The last few I have seen - including my own - had the thin crown.

[MENTION=102813]Enfield[/MENTION] The crown is as it should be, thick and with a very small gap between the case

That movt stem sistem have the same sistem as gen such as move the hour hand etc. but the reliability is unknown mate.. CMIIW

Extra gears and (hopefully) jewel will always compromise the reliability of the movement.

Take a look at the AP secs@12 and Daytona secs@6. They are ticking timebombs

This is the movement used for SF to fit P.9000 watches
Some evident flaws can be seen in this rep

ALE

 

[PAM1983]

Lume is wrong color...maybe lighting though. Crown Guard Lever is wrong, Crown Guard is wrong, Crown is almost correct. That movement would stay away from...just my .02 cents worth

Got mine and I love it! It came waterproofed and did some work on the strap to make it softer. Definitely the worst strap I've seen. Performed 10min ketchup service yesterday and it came out clean bur noticed this morning there is some discoloration or patina on h3 side of case and around the 30 mark. Did another ketchup clean and after lemon juice but it doesn't come out. Is this normal?

Should I use some cape cod cloth? I dont want to ruin the brushed look though...
