PAM388 - First purchase...

[ALE7575]

I'm about to approve my Pam 388 but wouldn't mind a second opinion. Does the crystal look scratched at the edge of 11 o'clock?
Also does the crown look a bit tarnished and uneven? The other stuff looks like dust. Hope i'm not offside by asking this, but I read a qc guide saying I could bounce this off you guys?

You will not get disappointed
These reps have a strong gen-like appearance

Hello friend..which one do you prefer? 312 or 388? since both of them share same movement..
And the best 388 is KW-V6Fac O-series w/decorated Seagull NON-inverted KP9000-Seagull V2 right?

They are seemingly similar but actually very different due to the case and lugs
The quality is really similar and the same with the gen-like appearance
You should choose following your taste. Bear in mind that PAM 312 wear a lot more than PAM 388 and PAM 388 is more dressing that PAM 312

KW-V6Fac is the best version either with Seagull NON-Inverted or A7750 NON-inverted, again a taste matter

Agree with what [MENTION=35350]ALE7575[/MENTION] says and see if you prefer the Luminor 1950 (PAM312) or Radiomir (PAM388) more.

Hi ALE,
which one do you prefer? seagull or 7750? and how about the reliability?
Sorry for disturbing you with so many dumb questions..

Hi ALE,

Sorry for disturbing you with so many dumb questions..

I actually prefer the Seagull, visually more accurate and, at least, as reliable as the A7750
Besides it usually is cheaper

But lastly there are some claims regarding stuttering second hands on Seagulls

Finally, as always, a taste and luck matter

Try asking dealers
But maybe the A7750 NON-inverted was not released and you have going to inverted version

Sorry, I was conditioned by your first post and I didn,t check the maker
You are right this NON-inverted is a ZFac movement

So, not so lucky man ... LOL

Haha, I am waiting for your reply for every 3 hours LOL
so my last chance are
(KW-V6Fac O-series w/decorated A7750 Inverted) with KW V2 caseset
or
(ZFac O-series w/decorated A7750 NON-inverted Improved ZP9000-V2.5) right?
Which are better ALE? because as i read, the KW case is superior,
but inverted one make the movement not reliable than non inverted in ZF..

I prefer KWversion this is the rep PAM 312 that I have in my collection, even with A7750 Inverted movement

The inverted movement is as reliable o more than a NON-inverted (it has less modifications). The NON-inverted is just visually more accurate

Hi EkaSN, by any chance if indeed you found what you're looking for, please share them here in this thread. I'm itching to get one 388 myself haha.
Been searching high and low for a 029 v2 super rep but seems like nobody is selling them anymore except a couple of Indonesian and Chinese dealers who claims they still have some left in stock.
Problem is, I've no idea how to tell if they're indeed by noob let alone an M series V2. So I guess I'm throwing in my towel.
Btw, ALE are you able to differentiate and tell whether the 029 is from noob if I were to show multiple angled pictures of the watch here?
Thanks EkaSN and ALE
I'll be eyeing this thread like a hawk. Lol
