PAM292 check

[Despee]

Hello,

I need your help about my watch, hereis the QC pic, but I think there is a problem on the 12.

It seems that the 1 and the 2 are not alligned.

What do you think about it ?
do you see any other problem ? I am not talking about Flaws as I know there is some and here is not the point.
I am talking about problem.

Thank you very much ya all.

If you think there is a problem with the 12 then I suggest you start buying gens because reps are simply not for you.

If it is H-Factory then it is probably fair to assume that they are all like that!

Lining up a business card along the bottom of the 2, the beginning of the 1 starts on that line. Mine has the same 'effect' but it's where it ought to be. The rounded base of the one is what throws you.

I have a gen 292 strap if interested pm me

 

[Despee]

Thanks for the kind answers (and the not). If I can't ask this maybe it's time for those who thinks that to go on gen forums.
I received my QC pics an found the 12 kinda odd ... that's why I asked, thanks bittrader for clarifynig this.
It is a H Factory.

It is on its way.

Good choice, it's a great rep.

Just be very gentle with the strap bars, and rather than tighten them too much, put a little low strength Loctite on the screws and just nip them enough to hold the bars.

Of course, you could fit a high beat movement, dull the dial with some Tamiya paint and polish the cannon pin too! But that's a clear sign there's something wrong with you!:lolcina:

:biglaugh: not yet...
I am thinking about AR, but I tought it was a 28000bph ? It is a 6497 mvt.
Isn't it high beat ?

Hi Despee
I think you are right, there was some answer not very nice
You are a noob and you are asking for help.

Besides, I think you are right in 12 matter. But what all members mean is that is a replica not a gen. And all replicas of this model will be the same

On above enlarged pic, you can see the problem, The 1 of the 12 is a bit more little than the 2

But all replicas of this model from H fact. will have the same flaw

Anyway it is a correct and beautiful watch
Enjoy it

AR compares exactly to my 312 gen. However the crystal is a little 'cloudy' when viewed from extreme side angle. I've not pulled it apart yet, to see if it's just dirty, or if the crystal is a bit dodgy. In any event, I think it's good enough.

The movement is a low beat 6497-1 clone running at 18,000bph. The correct high beat 6497-2 is 21,600bph.

The gen movement for this watch is the 6497-2:
Movement: hand-wound mechanical, Panerai OP XI calibre with swan's neck regulator, 16½ lignes, 17 jewels. Côtes de Genève decoration on the bridges. Glucydur® balance with Nivarox® I spring, 21,600 alternations/hour, Incabloc® anti-shock device.
Power reserve of 56 hours. Chronometer Certificate issued by C.O.S.C.

Thank you very much for these precise answer !!
I just wanted to know if every rep were this way... then it is ok for me.
I know a bit more about the 6497, thank you.
Let's see how addicted i'll become and how franken or modding I'll go
