Just ordered from one of the TD here. Wondering what should I be expecting. Has anybody bought one yet? If so, how accurate is it to the gen?

Rep.Luminor 1950 42mm PAM cases, bezel and crown guard are not at all as accurate as 44mm 1950 cases.
You can expect a nice watch, with very noce finish and a nice dial with dot markers less semi-spherical (flatter) than gen ones.
Nice decorated A7750 movement like P.3000 but with the balance wheel @11 instead of @7. Obviously rep for a rep fan or an semi-expert.
Most likely we could evaluate it as a Good rep bordering First Class status (maximum)

Anyway if you like the watch you will enjoy your rep many years

Just curious for the pam523, is the V6F the best version out there now or maybe the ZF? I see that there is a seagull movement now instead of the A7750, so is one better than the other? I'm in the market to get one for my gf and am looking for as close to super rep status as possible.

Have you a link to a ZFac version of this rep ??

Seagull and A7750 are good movements. Seagull is just more accurate, reliable enough (at least the same as A7750) and it is cheaper.
But don't expect the same accuracy in 42mm than in 44mm

Try also PAM 535, really beautiful

Thank you for the insight Ale! Attached is the link for the ZF 523: https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb...AM-National-Day-SALES-PROMOTION?highlight=523

It's just a posting of it, so I'm not sure if anyone here knows the differences. So the seagull is a better bet all around then (cheaper and more accurate)?

The Pam535 is gorgeous, however the gf is looking for a white face 42mm watch and the 523 seems to be the only one I can find that fits the bill.

Bought my GF the PAM 049. It's a white faced PAM and at only 40MM is small enough for women.

Yup, I think the pam523 will work just fine!

I don't know any Zfac version of PAM 523 so far

Maybe the offer from Sead make a mistake

Anyway, usually KW are better than ZFac in gen-like appearance and finish

No problem with Seagull movement, it is more accurate, reliable at least like an A7750, and CHEAPER

I was able to get a V6F from m2m, so I'm happy. Thank you for your help though!
