PAM1122 [TTF]
- Thread starter KOT1917
- Start date
TTF took on a very difficult, but interesting and important, in my opinion, work.
This is a special model in terms of the combination of parts and materials, and they have to make a domed sapphire, complex dial gradient, rubber bezel and crown case, make a titanium case and sandblast to ensure the coarse-grained DMLS effect of titanium.
More difficult, from the modern model range (if you do not take the complications of movt.), Probably only PAM1120 would be. Taking into account that TTF earlier treated rubberized crowns on models of the E-STEEL luminor 1950 line a little carelessly, I want to believe in the best, especially since PAM1120/1122/1124 have already been produced by low-class factories, in the appropriate quality.
I consider this a worthy challenge, and I hope for the best.

Looking for the best but expecting the worst ;-)
This is an interesting model, but @KOT1917 described the pitfalls for TTF. Anyway we should give them a chance.

So far I can say:
- The cutouts of the sandwich are slightly wider, in the tradition of HWF.
- In general, the dial looks lighter, although, this is what is fashionable to say 100%, only in a parallel comparison, which may never happen.
- Case looks light. It is clear that sandblasted titanium looks lighter than DMLS, we saw this one on the example of PAM1662 VSF, and this one would be changed by choosing the correct intensity and particle size, but here I am even more confused by the question of whether the case is titanium. I really hope so.
- CG seems to be big, the movie is not proportionately large (although this is a common occurrence), the inner vertical sides of the CG notch are not rounded inward (This is something that a lot of work has been done with VSF). I don't see what's with the black stripe on the lever.
- The insert on the crown feels like rubber, as does the bezel, but it takes a personal touch to judge.
- The dome of the crystal will have to be compared carefully, but at first glance, it looks decent.
- The date font, as before, looks a little thin, but it’s clear, I haven’t seen a photo with the same date.
- Caseback engravings have differences in quality, but for me this is normal, in particular, I am glad to note that the case number is correct.
- To evaluate the case, photos at right angles will be required later, but I expect slightly smoothed edges, relative to gen, and a little more thickness.

I am lucky to have a friend with a 1122 gen.
I'm looking forward to this release.

Def a different looking Panerai. Not sure about all the rubber accents though. Seems to feel cheap to me
Here are my QC-Vids ...

My TTF 1122 arrived today and I instantly fell in love ;-)
I will try to make a review with good pictures on the weekend. Here are some first impression (the white rubber is not included)
