PAM305 Choice between V1 and V2

[zorro07]

Need your help choosing my PAM305.
V2 is new, sold 430 USD : http://puretime-asia.com/product/pa...best-edition-on-black-rubber-strap-zp9000-v2/
V1 is sold 340 USD : http://puretime-asia.com/product/pam305-l-11-best-edition-a7750-final/
And about 300 USD with other TD.

V1 is fine, cheaper, but V2 movement nicer, I'm unable to choose !

Thanks !

If the price is important then - you know what to do
If it isn't then - you know what to do
enjoy whichever you choose.

I love the 305. I was waiting patiently (not really) for a new version to come out, but it took too long so I bought a 389.
I'd go with the V2. It looks like they updated much more than just the movement.

After just a quick look, these are some of things that look better:
lume - If I bought the old version, I'd need to get it relumed = $$$$
bezel - the indices look longer and deeper = more gen-like
crown guard - engravings are smaller and deeper = more gen-like
hands - look better finished
movement - of course it's better

I'm sure there's more. Good luck with your decision.

Hand lume is the wrong colour on the V2, otherwise a bit better than the V1

V1 crystal is much more reflective. Go for the V2. Buy quantity and you will love what you get most of the time.

That's QUALITY not quantity.

No doubts about the quality
Old PAM 305 has no comparison with the high quality and accuracy of modern NEW PAM 305
They are not V1 and V2, they are completely different and the concept and build are also different

Quality differences are bigger than price differences !!
