pam 382 v2 incoming

[boutsk]

Do the crownguard screw holes drill the case? Is it possible for water to pass through these holes?

boutsk no it's just to avoid losing the screws

I could not resist taking a quick swim in the sea...

Need more pics of the actual watch? Curious to know if they made any actual improvements to the previous version

+1 on the pictures. Is there any TD's who can confirm shipping of this beauty to CONUS?

Pulled the trigger, and puretime had them in stock, QC came really fast. More photos.

Gorgeous....I want one. Just ordered 2 Pams from my TD so will order once I get those in. I promised myself I'm only going to have 1 pick per month. Got hooked too fast...

How does version 1 of this compared to the Gen? All the links regarding the comparisons and reviews no longer work due to the site reboot that happened earlier this year.

The hour markers are white on the Gen 382. They appear more green on V2 of the rep. if thats true, thats a major give away.

You are right but this is the case for the previous version as well. Green hour markers while on the gen they are white. Never understood why they can't fix such a simple thing.

My postman just dropped mine after a long wait. However I have decided to just keep my 671 with gen ETA installed recently. Pam382 v.2 will be for sale soon, not planning to wear.

I have finally decided to give it a try and keep it for now. Here are my first thoughts:
1. Case is different than previous version. Thinner lugs same height. Fits better on my wrist but I am not sure which one of the two is closer to gen. The lugs are somewhat between the lugs of the previous version and the lugs of the 671.
2. Case material is not the same for sure. I don't know if it is real CuSn8, but it looks more yellow than previous bronzo especially after resetting the patina. Also, it didn't make my hand green after working out like the previous version used to do. I think this is closer to gen because I can't imagine a 30.000usd watch paint your hand green everytime you are sweating.
3. Pearl is just a little bit whiter and more flat. Closer to gen according to pinterest gen 382 pics.
4. Movement winds like butter and is very accurate.
5. Now, that for me is the most important one: The watch crystal came with external AR coating that made the dial look darker and the crystal very different compared to gen pics. That was the biggest turn off. Really wierd looks out of the box. After just 10 minutes of rubbing the crystal with Peek, the AR was gone and the watch looked exactly like the previous version. For me anyone who buys this bronzo HAS TO do this mode. Otherwise the watch face is totally off. Make sure you mask the bezel very well before you start.

In general great improvements without significant price difference.

My best pic for now, taken in the elevator ????

All of my review (especially the AR part) was made after discussing with my friend Rufctr2 also a big 382 lover.

6. I will add, the improved movement seams really accurate on mine.
On Twixt, I have +5.5sec in 7 days, so 0.7sec/day
I didnt test the PR, this beast is on my wrist since 1 week !
