V2. 5 is already available. Have a look at my QC a few posts before. Factory will just send to dealers whatever they grab so you need to specifically ask for the newer revision.

I’m going to wait until I can source this one. I like the CG and lugs better on yours. I will probably wait until I can get it through a TD though. Thanks for sharing.

To anyone who has bought the PAM688 VSF.

Check the screw on the buckle. My watch dropped off my wrist this morning as the screw was loose and fell out. Luckily I was sitting on a sofa at the time so no damage done.

Is the general consensus on the blue hue and shine on the dial, that it is now close to gen?

I've just received my 688 from TS. It's even better than in the photos. Absolutely perfect.
Well, almost... The strap is a pos, but I've known that already.

Is there a larger version of this watch out there?

Unfortunately, there isn't. You could get Pam690 that is 47mm Radiomir.
There was a limited gem in 44mm released together with this one, but it was 10 day reserve and there is no rep for that model.

I’m still only seeing the V2 available and the TD I’ve contacted haven’t been able to provide anything on the slight variation you received. I’ll wait and see.

You would need to wait for Pam 437 v2 with correct gmt function, basically is same as 441 but on blue dial 44mm

Can someone please give a 100 % confirmation on buckle size? I would like to order a strap at the same time as I order watch. @piero980 says it's 22/22 & @michelesanctis says it's 22/20 - both apparently own the watch....

Original rep strap comes with the watch is 22/20 but if you don’t want to use the original buckle i suggest you to buy 22/22 strap with a new buckle. It looks absolutely better imo.

Yes definitely order a non tappered strap, they look much better on the wrist and you can use a much larger buckle.

I’m also interested in buying a new strap. I’ve never done this, so can someone let me know if I need a special tool to swap them out and where a good place to start shipping for straps would be.

You must need a 1.6mm screwdriver. Any micro screwdriver set will have it. Or if you want you can buy a more specialized driver which has a specially shaped tip for Panerai watches.

You can also find some OEM ones on eBay for around $30-$50. As for straps, there is a thread on quality straps at budget prices to start you on your way. You can upgrade to the big guys later.
