Hi, I want to buy a 382 and have read the threads and the PAM review, however am officially confused as the best one to buy. I was going to buy from Perfect Clones or Pure Time, who I have used in the past. Can anyone please advise the best one to buy or point me in the right direction? I apologise if I have asked this question in the wrong place.

PAM 382 Bronzo - QC Pics allowed Thread
- Thread starter DR3M3L
- Start date
All TDs source from the same factories so if you had a good experience, stick with the same TD. As far as the watch, the 382 bronzo is not considered a super rep and the bronze may age differently than the gen. The gold plated one has issues vs gen. Here is a link to the PAM guide so you can read more

Personally, I'd stick with models considered super reps. Best of luck and happy researching!

I would say that Both ZF and V6f are great - just look for the things already mentioned here - chamfer on cg , markers on dial alignment as well on bezel. The thin crown is a flaw on current batch from Both makers.

Not trying to hijack the thread but which of the current movements in the PAM 382 is the more reliable/ durable the P9000 clone, the decorated 23j or the Asian 7750?
Eric72 and Flight2016 do you mean this one http://puretime01.com/pam382-n-bron...on-brown-distressed-calfskin-strap-p9000.html this is the one I was thinking of buying?
Pure time is offering the PAM 382 with a SF p9000 clone. I searched the forum and haven't read anyone's review of this movement/ watch combo. It's priced $40 more than the 23j. Thoughts?
The 23j is a "Lite" version and from a different factory KW-V6F. Not sure if you're just missing on the movement, or in some other details of the watch too.
For 40$ why not buying one of the best ones? In Puretime all of them are for $398, so I would follow "The Bible" from [MENTION=35350]ALE7575[/MENTION].
EVALUATION: (*) FIRST CLASS REP high level (KW V3 Bronze w/decorated A7750 NON-inverted KP9000-V2)
EVALUATION: (*) FIRST CLASS REP high level (KW-V6Fac Bronze w/decorated KP9000-Seagull V2 NON-inverted) best current option from May 2015
EVALUATION: (*) FIRST CLASS REP high level (ZFac V4 Bronze w/decorated A7750 improved NON-inverted ZP9000-v2.5)
Thank you all for responding. I have done a ton of research and combed the forums. I am familiar w the pluses and minuses of the various manufacturers. I have used Ales guide and didn't see a reference to the SF p9000 clone movement. I didn't find his review of the SF P9000 clone until the link was provided. Not sure why my search didn't pull it. My specific question was on the reliability of the various movements. Since the SF p9000 is fairly new I wanted to see if anyone had purchased it and what their experience has been.
As for movt, I'd go with either A7750 (easy to fix) version or Seagull ST2555 (cheap to replace) version which both is common and both of them are reliable. About the clone p.9000, I can't say much due to lack of information, and I don't want to touch it because of that.

Looks really great. One of the things I value most about the 382 is that every watch is unique and personal.

Second round attempt at Bronzo - first one left much to be desired for the CG and even though the TD tried to help, the replacement CG was too much of a different color. Anyway, here's to QC pics for another!
Appreciate any help! And hope it goes good this time.

I'd go for it ... aside from the 15 marker being ever so slightly askew it looks fine to me.
One of my markers was askew but truth be told I only noticed it in the QC pics ...after I got it I completely forgot about it. My CG also had a slightly different color but once it started to patina it was no longer noticeable
I see that the strap is quite decent and the crown isn't one of the skinny ones.
What Manufacturer is it from ?

Hey Voxx, thanks for your comments. This is a KW - I was told by the TD they started to churn out fatter CGs.
sure looks like the skinny crown to me. Not a showstopper in my view though. Just wanted to point it out.

Churn out meaning it's out there or are they in the process?
