PAM 425 Super Clone

[carboncopy]

Hows the superclone movement? I've read alot about instability and timekeeping. For example the variations.
- Fully wound it keeps good time, however as it loses power the timekeeping dramatically increases and increases and increases. Are you experiencing this?

Yes, that's something I would like to know as well since I'm about to pull the trigger on the PAM 449 which has the same movement. Thanks

Let me wind her up, since she's worn in rotation I haven't checked on the PR. I'm basically happy if she goes 40 hrs. This particular Watch is a bit stiff when winding but is slowly getting better. I doubt it goes past 48 hrs if that but will check.

^^ its not about the power reserve mate. I know the superclone will last over 120hrs - 140hrs no probs. The issue here is that when it is fully wound it keeps great time. However the timekeeping is not so good after say 50hrs are used up the timekeeping becomes erratic. Moreso as the power reserve reduces.

This is what I an worried about

For me the lume on hands and dial are different. Is this true?

Got it, what would be the most accurate way of observing this???

Any follow up with this particular 425 mode? Especially how is the movement performing? I know there's only one factory currently producing PAM 425, which is SF. I'm seriously considering buying 425, yet its price tag is quite steep. Therefore I would like to know a bit more about its reliability. Thank you!

I've got one but I haven't had it too long. To be honest, I haven't seen any complaints about reliability of this movement in any model. The only thing people are worried about is having it repaired if it fails but I haven't heard of any failing. They're a Chinese rep movement so I'm sure some will fail but wouldn't say they're unreliable.

Thanks for the comment! Have just placed my order now.

I wouldn't call it super rep/clone/1:1/copy as long as they don't correctly engrave panerai logo on the movement.It's very badly done. O and the spacing between the letters are horrible.A very visible flaw and a big one.My opinion of course.

I'm also waiting for the pam experts to jump in

I've been on the fence for one of the 4 series Rads for long and still can't make up my mind

I've seen yesterday the gen on AD, and I have to admit, at wrist this rep looks pretty close to gen.
Also is a "so simple" watch, simple dial, no complications, etc... that it makes you wonder if it is woth 7.5K $.
So, it looks like one of those perfect watches to rep and save some bucks for more "serious" things (no oofense intended, hope you catch the meaning, it is a great watch indeed).

Still waitting for someone to chime in if there are significative differences between SF & ZF versions

 

[Destroyertan]

If only that had those in 45mm, 47 is a bit too big.

 

[JMMC]

Any daring soul has ordered the ZF version for a review/comparative with SF?

I'd also be very interested in the ZF version of this watch.... anyone who could comment on that regarding optical quality and movement?
