Hi All,
I have ordered my first PAM which is the VSF 382 bronzo, and could do with a bit of help with the QC pics.
I dont know the watch that well, and have asked that the date wheel alignment is straightened, but are there any glaring issues?

Well I'm not ALE but the watch looks to be a VSF PAM382 with the P.9000 clone movement with the balance wheel @7 although the lever tip seems to be a bit off.

Thanks - what is the 'level tip'?

I meant the lever tip.

I meant the lever tip.

You are right! I did not notice that... not really a deal breaker for me though. The wrong rotor kinda bothers me however. Gonna make a decision tomorrow.

Are the three screws on the rotor still glued on? Or are they actual screws now?

Thanks for your input @mysterio

So this new 382 VSF has the correct balance wheel position with wrong rotor ?
How about the crystal's AR ? Is it any good?
How about dial color? Is it correct as per gen?

Yes... custom 7750 movement with the incorrect rotor.

AR has the typical blue color.

Dial color, works for me... I've never seen a gen in the 'real world' and probably never will, unless I meet Sylvester Stallone

By incorrect rotor, you meant rotor without op logo? I heard from someone else in another threas, he got the vsf with op logo in it?

They look fine, although your watch does not seem to have the fatter crown

Thank you very much for your rapid response! This is a "VSF 1:1 Best Edition ", so in principle it should have a fatter crown, yes?

If you see this photo from the previous post by up_right, it shows a fatter crown.

It's the relative thickness of the crown compared to the space inside the crown guard, a fatter crown will be at least half of that space. Yours seems to be less than that. If the TD can source you a sample with the fatter crown that would be great. However, it is not so glaring as any other possible faults like crooked markers, or a uncentered datewheel as those are on the focus areas of the watch on the front, while the crown is on the side and normally "invisible".
