Glad they used the decorated movement. I wonder how it compares to the XF, given the good photos.

But what happens to the shape of the crown? Since when did the CG lever get a roller?

The Dot at the end of the R.E.G. looks better than the one on my XF. Maybe I’ll do a 2to1 and use the XF lever on the HWF CG. Or see if I can order a standalone lever from TT.

If you have a PAM127 XF and order a PAM127 HWF to combine some of the parts, then there's a great chance to see a side-by-side photo. It would be interesting and useful here for many.

Nevermind, still off. Something is off I think the shape of the CG that is thinner.

From the video the crystal look like possibly the best rep 127 crystal I’ve ever seen, crown guard is trash, movement doesn’t look too bad but short MM screw and swan regulator shape is a bit poop. Hands look sharp, CP is not great. Not a terribly bad attempt. If the crystal is as good on all of them it’s worth buying just for the crystal lol

I took the opportunity and ordered HWF PAM 127. The only let down is crown guard, which is HWF regular crown guard for 47mm PAMs but flipped upside down and engraved on "correct" side. Thus the lever pin is so small since regular bigger pin head is on the back side now. Not to mention roller on the tip of CG lever.

The crystal looks like having even LESS distortion than original one! Amazing in person.

@PolonusTM - thanks for the pictures. Is the crystal as good as it looks?

Also - I looked through the TD sites that I've bought from previously but could not see the HWF 127. Which TD did you purchase from?

About the lume - strong but relatively quick in calming down. Anyway, readable at night.

About the crystal: I had Noob 127, XF 127 and while they had less flaws - the beauty of PAM 127 lies in crystal. HWF Pam 127 is a bunch of shortcuts but the crystal makes the watch magnificent one.

I bought mine from Perfect Clones, NOT a TD here.
