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

[ernien]

For those not in love with the pearl, here's my attempt at redoing it.

I carefully used a thin blade and twisted it into the old pearl until it came out in one chunk.

I used noctilumina's tan lume powder (TG45F) and mixed it 1:1 with their 1A binder. After filling the pearl cup about half way with the mix, I let it dry and applied a thin clear top coat of binder.

The result is that the pearl now closely matches the hands. The bezel hash marks and dial dots still have a little more orange in them. Not perfect, but for a first attempt by an amateur, I like it!

don't judge me wrong but as I've said before my main concern about this release was the awful strap...

it makes the watch unwearable...it almost feels like paper...
anyway , I tried to find the gen one,,the black distressed panerai strap but I got no luck at paneristi...
So I went with , I think , the best second option, the Mario Paci distressed strap

Looks great. I have one of them on my 243.

 

[imoagdie]

actually the Rep strap gets way better with some leather conditioning towels. I used it twice on mine and now it feels almost like the gen strap (which isnt the softest either btw)

 

[Watchfreund]

Wow. I totally missed this version. Looks great. Will start to search for one in the sales section or order one. Thanks

as usual with new sub whe should wait)

 

[jonnyknox]

Has anyone already mentioned, that the hour markers on the bezel are made of ss with dlc?

They are really sharp on the edges which cause a fast/easy loosing of (dlc) color, if touching an object... :-(((

The V6F Version has not been evaluated yet by Ale , right?

would you called it a first class rep , high level?

Hi everyone!
I need some help as I don't know wich version is this, and if it's a good sample or not.
I've ordered the best version of the 508 and received some qc pics (below I show just two of them). What I think it's strange is the lug screws that are silver instead of black, and I think the dial inscriptions, date, hands and minute counters are too yellow instead of vintage creamy, as the markers. This is a common flaw or mine that isn't so good?!

Thank you very much!!

Lug screws are ok, but I think the 15 marker on the bezel.is slanted.
Color of lume in hands might be due to camera color settings.
Case is KW.

 

[paulvillo]

Agree with kilo, seem all studs are a bit slanted.
Hopefully it's the camera, but the pearl looks bad and so does the date font which looks too bold.

Let me ask you, are you sending reps straight to Brazil?
Or are you triangulating elsewhere? I hear it's a bad place customs-wise.

I already sent an email rejecting this one, let's wait and see if they can source one better than this, thank you very much!
But if this is KW case, and I bought a ZF V6 product, this already seems to be wrong, right?

Thank you!!!

Paul, I told them these things and asked for another watch.
Yes, I always sent them straight to Brazil. I had some problems just a couple times, but in the end it's worth.
Last week I received a PAM026 wich was stopped for a 1.5 year (believe me) at "waiting to authenticity check".... I thought it was in some other wrist, but then it came to me from nothing!

Well, let's hope so Angus can source me a better 508 so I can have it soon....
Thank you a lot!!!

KW and V6F are the same maker.
ZF is a different maker.
As far as I know

I am wondering why everybody is saying the rep strap is as awful.

I am owning the Rep and the oem panerai distressed strap (on my gen 510). Actually the oem one feels like paper aswell so the rep isnt as bad as all are saying

That makes me feel better now. Was thinking if I should change my strap. Used Dr Jackson hide rejuvenator and it feels softer, more wearable.

Replik, I have a tip for you, if you wish.
I always ask for DHL / FedEx shipping and never had any issues with customs, paying few extra taxes, though.

Hi Bizi, Angus told me that DHL/Fedex weren't able to send counterfeit items to Brasil... Than I told him not to tell them what is in the package and he told me that it's not possible (???) I always sent by dhl and never had a problem but now I don't understand this... Maybe I should send him another email.....
Você é de minas nao é?! Sou de Sao Paulo, fiquei um tempo parado com este vicio mas voltei agora, rsss abraco!!!
