[KOT1917]

New release of PAM111 from HW factory.



Some number of photos without watermarks:

Not bad for my untrained eyes!

Looks decent for a 1rst try, but short CG pins are bugging me.

Still, it's good that newer factories make their move on such classic models, it may come out with good surprises in the end.

The PIN can always be pushed back and forth, if necessary, slightly trimmed.
I'm a little worried about the lever that on a couple of photo sets (hopefully the same sample) sits below the CG arc.
Also, movt., engraving looks rougher and cheaper than I am used to seeing in new models from other manufacturers.

Totally agreed with you. Good to see that there are further classic models producer. Lets hope more of the older ones will come back.

I am not so familiar with the latest details/quality -thx we have the real proffessionals like KOT1917 and others - but I think…but lets say for me is the back of the watch not the main point.

Agreed, although I'm afraid the CG pin might just be too short. It looks pretty flush, almost inwarded, on the underneath pics on PC. It may be on this batch's sample only, but we may not have enough lenght to adjust this.
The engravement looks a bit rough but may it be related to picture quality ?

I may order one as this 111 ticks my curiosity anyway

Edit : lever definitely sits below the CG on PC pics as KOT pointed. Bad CG overall so far.

Might as well be gen for all intents and purposes - if you’re not interested in learning about academic difference wrt gen.

I’m glad HWF is releasing new PAMs but this dial is way off.

 

[EuroTime25]

At least the "A" look correct. Unline my Noob V12. Still love the 111 my first watch I wanted a gen till I found a rep that filled the void for fraction of the price.

Now that you say it, the sandwich numerals look thicker don't they? I'm just glad the "O" is not elevated, that to me was the dealbreaker with the Noob. Once seen, cannot be unseen.

Very interested to know what rep you found that filled that void

Yes way too thick. HWF make numerals and markets too thick. Same with HWF pam915.

But they can make it right, the 000 and 005 seem to be ok.
They should do like XF and correct issues on the fly without having to release a v2, but highly doubt they will as they have complete monopoly over the Pam reps!

SWISS is upside down?

 

[KOT1917]

No, that's right, the word swiss and the movt. number are in opposite directions.
It's just in the "top half", and they believe that this inscription should be read from the inside out, and the serial number and the number of jewels, just like a bottom line.
Gen:
Usually this part is covered with a steel ring of a transparent caseback when fired at a right angle, so this is not something that is always in sight.

 

[Highrisk]

Ordered this. Going to post pics once it gets here.

 

[Highrisk]

Finally got it from Andrew today! For the price I must say it is solid!
The time from QC pics to receiving it only took 9 days (made sure the model is available before payment).
For people with 8inch + wrists note that this strap is kind of tight but wearable.

 

[Highrisk]

Lol my camera skills is crap sorry guys

 

[KOT1917]

However, thanks a lot for sharing, Highrisk ! Have you had any other factory's PAM111, or any other rep pams before, in order to hear a comparatively impressed first-hand?
