PAM1176 [VSF]
- Thread starter KOT1917
- Start date
While the thoughts are:
1. The case must be from the old 441, and not the new one 1950 44mm., that would be so useful for 1441.
2. It's very interesting how this dial will look in real life under different lighting conditions.
3. Will there be a bright blue glow from the lume?
4. It's a good move to make rubberized parts. I really hope that this is an intermediate stage to the release pam1122. I'm sure that would be very good.
5. Apparently the past Bucherer pam1021 they ignored ... I wish I could return.
6. Glad they didn't make the date beige like some of the journalist reviews who sometimes get a pre-production watch with the wrong design elements.
(Or am I wrong, and the date is not white, on production samples?)
7. Everything is a matter of taste and personal preference, but ersonally, I don't like colored accents, but it seems a little better than pam1177.
Overall, the selection of ceramic pams has never been great and I'm glad they are expanding the range, even through such exotic options.

Some photos of GEN.
A couple with a promo:
A certain number of live photos, really very black, I tried to adjust a little so that at least some details of the case could be seen:

I want to like it but can't right now, maybe better pics of the dial may help sway the decision one way or another..
I don't care for the watch but boy oh boy are we spoiled by VSF or what? VSF has repped so many Panerai's it's just crazy. Not too long ago Pam reps were basically dead; Noob and ZF stepping out of the game and VSF only doing a handful models. And look where we are now. Since gen PAM's imho are ridiculously expensive for what they are I couldn't be happier with the job VSF is doing. I really thought the rep PAM era was kinda dead.
I agree. True, the downside is that they make their "perfect formula" and sell. Then it turns out that there are often not critical, or difficult to solve problems. But they never fix them. Why, if tomorrow some will give 5 more other, new models, but average, in the same quality?
I am happy with the variety, even if most are not to my taste, also happy with decent quality and sufficient basic accuracy (most often).
But there is no habit of bringing the work to the end and achieving a full-fledged result.
I understand that VSF has no competition, I also understand that this strategy is consonant with the strategy of PANERAI themselves. At the same time, I see that the majority are satisfied with what they have.
But even so, I hope that it's just that their confidence in the demand for certain models is not growing so quickly, and they are not yet sure which of this variety makes sense to modify.
Perhaps, over time, new bestsellers will appear, and no king of a day, and they will be led to perfection by new versions.
If not, then the times of the most accurate rep panerai, and the truth is behind.

Yes, the dial looks light black, good. In the photo VSF that I had, for some reason it seemed brownish to me. It's all right here.
Case is similar in profile to 1441, apparently, this is it.
It is also interesting to see the lumshot.
Anyway, Repworld -now your hour has struck.
It would be nice to see a video to see what this watch face looks like in dynamics.

What about the thickness..., this is the major tell for me associated with ceramic VSF Luminor 1950 cases. Gen is about 16 mm? I hope for approvent in this regard.

No, but I hope that those will be next, since they have already started using rubber. I like 1122 which, by the way, I think you showed, and I will believe that this is a warm-up VSF, before its release.

By analogy with pam1441 (they must have a common case new ceramic 1950 44mm) gen should be 14mm and rep 17.
Thank! But I'll believe it when I see it.
So far, here's what what is in 1441, and outwardly I distinguish them from new photos 1176 can't:

I showed comparison 1441 VS genuine, asked some TD if this genuine own by maker no answer, I’m sure v2 coming correct thickness side by side with genuine.
