Just to add, this is completely inaccurate rep. Wrong placement of L SWISS MADE L, wrong caseback... go for 183 as ALE7575 suggests, or 380.

Was excited to see this rep at first but the caseback was a big tell. Considering engravings should not be hard to replicate considering the detail of the casebacks of the boutique editions, it was kind of a letdown. The placement of the LSML is also one of the known tells for dials, so it is hard to imagine how they could get this wrong.

But, if we read the description on Trusty's website, it describes the watch's construction rather accurately (albeit misleading especially for those new to reps).

Made with a Genuine 292 and 380 as Sample

So it it a 292J dial(with the incorrect LSML placement):

and the 380 case (with the incorrect caseback).

Very accurate parts by themselves, but totally wrong for the 261. Trying to maximize the use of the gen parts? :unsure:

Thanks Polonus and mysterio
You have hit the nail in the head.
The Maker has wanted to make another model with the same parts of other watches and it has made a very bad hybrid, with wrong dial and wrong caseback.
Look at this link the gen PAM 261:
http://www.9maiali.com/shopping/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=171&products_id=1942

You can sse the incorrect inscription L SWISS MADE L and the completely wrong caseback, as showed in below pic:

PAM261-GEN-REPCOMPARISON.jpg


I don't understand the new trend of makers continuing producing such a Hybrids nowadays, when the quality of the replicas and the knowledge of the buyers is at very big level and these Hybrids cannot be accepted by the fans at such a prices.

Now we have already info enough to be included in the PAM GUIDE as a good watch and a LOW GRADE replica!! The same as PAM 369 recently released!!

I'm going to prepare immediately the Review of this watch in the PAM GUIDE.
