PAM 508 V6F - and other versions - [ QC pics allowed ]

[Knifemaker]

Just realised that I had drooled over your review of the 508 at length! Seems the latest versions have addressed the bezel pearl to good effect.

I love the aged ivory color of the markers and hands. Beautiful!!!

I hope that AR is not as bad as on the 438?

Had the 438 and still have a 508 (and the 607). The 508's AR is much better.

Very comforting to hear that. AR on 438 is really really really awful..Thanks!

Hello guys,

Thanks for sharing so much knowledge, I really appreciate, read and learn a lot.

After reading all the pages of this thread I couldn't resist it... so I place an order with a TD and send me QC pics (in one day... as fast as the lighting). The version is the PAM 508 KW V6F with the A7750.

I haven't my eyes as much trained as yours so I would need some help because this watch is really almost and obsesion and maybe I see some flaws which aren't there... Maybe my mind playing with me

I don't see if its ok for you or maybe it only me who see that is date wheell maybe a bit "off" / not centered with his date window, the bezel is not centered (but I don't know if it has been correctly positioned), and what it is obsesin me more is those number markers in the bezel "15" and "45". Those seems not to have a correct position...

Looks pretty good. The bezel looks like it's not rotated properly.

Thank you man, I swear that I am getting mad because I thought at first like that, but I started looking deeply and then my head got mad and so on... If anyone else could check... Would be much appreciated

Edited: sorry for mispellings I am posting with the my cell and it has Spanish language default set up!

I thought like that just before throwing my money away lol

After looking closely QC pics and I can't see clearly if bezel is correctly rotated or if the markers "15" and "45" are a bit "tilted"...

So I have received more, I really appreciate the great effort and patience of Sead (the TD I choose for this watch), without any doubt his is the man!

I don't see it really well (the bezel and the numbers "15" and "45" a bit tilted or it is only me? ), the rest of the watch itself looks pretty good. Maybe the 12 o'clock markers are not correct too.

I am really surprised because my main worry was the pearl and it seems to be almost perfect. Really improved respecting the first KW models of this PAM.

Any opinions?

Thanks in advance,

Pearl looks very much improved.
*Maybe* 45 marker very slightly tilted, in some pics it looks aligned, in others not. However impossible to see in real life imho.

Thank you kilowattore! I thought at the beginning that and after using my computer with those pics I realized that it was maybe due to 15 marker but yes it is very very difficult. But one question, don't you think the two bars marking the 12 o'clock aren't correctly placed? I see with my computer placing a redline and a cross between them that issue.

I really thank you your opinion, you know I am really noob at pointing flaws.

 

[kilowattore]

IDK, they look fine to me...

Hi
I have aligned, enlarged and contrasted your pic
The 12 marker is obviously misaligned as you can see by the pic and the orange lines. But it is in the limit of being noticeable at real size.
The rest of the watch looks OK even the bezel markers.

Bear in mind that a replica can always have some flaws under a close inspection, and even can have hidden issues, and this would be more serious
The decision is completely up to you

Good luck
ALE

Many thanks Ale, really appreciated your opinion. The problem is that I will be looking at that and I also think 15 marker is a bit tilted. The case, the rest of the watch in fact seems to be really nice. Even the CG. I did it similar in my computer but used a cross between the twelve markers, I think those marker are off with respecto the rest of the watch. I know that it is a replica and must have some flaws, and some will be noticeable but if I saw this almost from the beginning and considering I am a complete noob I think I will be always looking that flaw. So I will ask for another watch.

The good point of this, I am learning a lot and training my eyes... Just for saying the good thing.

Thanks again

Just received my 508 from Davidsen. Build quality seems really good! Just wondering if anyone can comment on the WR of these watches? Davidsen was pretty adamant in his emails that these are tested >50m as long as the crown lever is closed. Mine is snug, without being tight (I.e. it shuts with no wiggle room, but there's no re-assuring "snap") etc.
Thoughts?

Mmm those practices, better do it with water proof testers (there are machines to do that) and see in person how is going. If not and you try it directly... OYOR (on your own risk). I have gen and better watches for diving and swimming than reps. I don't like to test luck with them...

BTW I finally purchased the 508 above mentioned because except 12 o'clock markers the rest was really good and it is really cheap gen another dial to replace that. So I am waiting for the watch now.

 

[nick_sixx]

Does anyone know what size/shape gasket should go in the crown?

I'm having the same dilema about going KW or ZF here. Which way did you go?

Hello Guys,

Would you please help me decide which PAM 508 to purchase. I wonder between the KW with Seagull non inverted movement: https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/215141-pm-508kw-full-ceramic-seagull-movement-309
and the ZF 508 with A7750 movement. I am in communication with Sead1999. He sent me some QC pictures of the newest PAM 508 ZF he got:

In my personal opinion, pearl looks really uniform and nice, but having in mind that I have not seen the original watch, just images on the net, I cannot decide if pearl is supposed to look so light or it should be darker. On the KW it looks a bit different.
I am in deliberation which watch to purchase-KW Seagull or the ZF. KW with Seagull seems to be more accurate and perhaps more reliable, on other side, ZF seems to have a better pearl. In this regard, any opinion will be highly appreciated
Thank you all!!!

My TD claims that the KW has a much much better build quality. Those concerns of yours are not visible at all in real life and the possibility of running into someone with a gen 508, who would notice that your pearl is not the same shade of beige as yours and call you out is practically zero.
