Pam438 ceramic ---- [ QC pics allowed ]----------

[WalkerDH]

I asked to TD if he could Source just the correct caseback, overall the watch is really good except for the caseback.

@WalkerDH Yup, the case back is definitely comes from 441

Despite others won't notice it, but it ruins the beauty.

Yes... And then if the Watch is called Tuttonero.. It should be written there....

 

[panasol]

Well...it seems like a "common" issue cos mine had the same problem too

I asked my TD to ship me the correct caseback...

1 more pics about the "Wrong" caseback ring

This is what i asked for, I Hope they will not replace the 438 with another one with more flaws.

Happy to see that the CP has been corrected. the biggest flaw for me.
I have a 386 which has the sunken CP. bugs the Heck out of me! Grrrrr!!!

The Crystal on the 386 is ultra clear though. No cloudiness, or bad reflections. Ultra well made case. Love it!

I was looking for a 441 when the 386 came up for sale at the sister site. RG.. A real beauty.
Odd that some say that the lume doesn't last long, or is not Super Lume. I can read mine if I wake up, any time of night. I won't have a watch, Gen, or Rep that I can't!:thumbup:

And the watch itself. Love the brown case and Dial But perhaps a bit too elegant for a PAM. Still want a good pencil lead grey DLC, or perhaps a 508 and 439!

Hello,

I posted this already, but then I realized that QC pics are not allowed.
So, I found this thread where pics of PAM 438 are allowed and I posted it again in order to get some help from all of you that are experts in this
I´m new in this "world of watches" and I´m buying a PAM 438 V6F Ceramic (pam438-o-ceramic-v6f-11-best-edition-on-ceramic-bracelet-p9001b-free-asso-strap).
I just received the QC photos and I want to ask you guys, your opinion about the watch, because I´ve just noticed some kind of scratches and other marks in the case and the bracelet (or just my impression, I really don´t know).
Is this watch shown in the pics real ceramic and can I consider this watch in perfect condition to be shipped? Will these marks disappear with some cleaning?

Again, I´m really sorry for my ignorance


Thank you very much.

Those "scratches" on the ceramic are most likely material from other metals when the ceramic made contact. Easily confirmed by asking your TD to wipe down the watch before taking pictures.

Yes, you are right
I've asked TD to fix it and they cleaned it.
Now its smooth like silk

Besides, your watch has TUTTONERO engraved on caseback, because same last batches didn't have it

I didn't know that.
Almost every rep I saw in the forum has TUTTONERO engraved on caseback. Or I missed that
Besides the TUTTONERO, do you think the minutes hand is accurate and not the short version?

Here they are. QC pics of my 438 Tuttonero. Except only one flaw at the back ending of the bracelet (not visible at all as is in the back normally and nothing serius), I think the watch was almost perfect and really nice. Really nice, nice lume and nice extra asso strap.

I will buy another leather vintage strap with deployant buckle (preferred black PVD) just to avoid using ceramic bezel except for sppecial events.

So, what do you think about it? Many thanks and I accept all your opinions.

Does someone any link or any webpage for straps vintage style with deplo buck?

Thanks in advance

Which TD you choose to get the watch?
Now its the hard part... to find a watchsmith to service the watch whenever it needs!

We are luck that in Madrid have one watchsmith who is use to deal with these A7750 an other reps. BTW I choose and recommend Toro. I compared prices and looked for the watch + free asso strap and after checking prices Toro won again, not maybe the best price though he is the man when you value a really fast service. I have purchased last month 5 reps and last ordered was from Toro and was the first at arriving. So I placed this second order with him and again picked fast funds and also again faster than expectations. Took hours to send QC pics of the watch (he said that he would send QC pics in two or three days) and said another two o three days to get an asso strap and again almost one day after I had its QC pics. He is really professional.
