Just received this beauty in the mail and I must say I am blown away!
I couldn't be happier with the ceramic. I love my PAM346, but this is a next level.
I can see this getting A LOT of wrist time!

Love that ceramic but the crystal is sooooo reflective. I remember the first 359 that Angus offered I jumped on but also had an awful reflective crystal. Could not wear the watch and ended up selling it. I am afraid this watch would stiffer the same fate. I will wait for a v2 or v3 and hope the crystal is improved. I know the gen is also reflective but it is not THIS reflective.
Chris,
Can you please share how you remove (and most important screwed/tightened back the front bezel?
cheers,
dan
The front bezel is not very tight. You can remove it easy with your fingers. Just unscrew the bezel counterclockwise.

Didn't work on my case, and from my forum readings, pointed to some tool and do the opening from inside. But if a special tool not needed, I will use a suction ball, see where it takes me.
thx, for getting back .

Intime have a different maker up for this watch now (zf I think) looks like they blacked out the cp. wonder if the crystal has better ar?
More expensive but has DLC stainless steel bracelet and bezel.
V6F version is all ceramic apart from the case back.

That's an older rep. The ceramic is the one you want. The ceramic AR is the same as gen too. Not very strong if there at all.
I'm going to order one so perhaps I can get my AR put on. I don't have enough time for a manufacturer to scale up production as my other crystals should be on their way to me nest week. Maybe I cna source the same clear sapphire crystals in the US and send them to my coater. Timing is the issue.
I had the old PAM508, it was too heavy for my preference, can someone weight their PAM438? and post a result?

To put the weight into perspective, I just weighed a PAM438 on an Asso strap and that came in at 138g and a PAM346 Radiomir and that weighs 100g exactly.
So yeah it's a bit heavier on the bracelet, but I still wouldn't classify it as a heavy watch. Ceramic is lighter than SS and probably even lighter than titanium.

Sorry, you are lost because you want, because you have already updated the PAM GUIDE for this watch PAM 438
In PAM GUIDE is clearly said that best version is KW-V6fac version ("both" watches are the same)
Read PAM GUIDE and you will find your way
ALE
The PAM441 also uses this design as it is also a ceramic Luminor released at the same time as the Tuttonero (basically a strap version of the PAM438).
ALE, I think he has seen a TD refer to an older model as "ultimate". Which means, Rambo73, it's either ZF or an older KW.
my Qcs of 438.I found out some flaws but hope it's because of the photos, not the watch.
Is this a scratch on the case?
And UNEVEN holes ?
Please help me determine if it's perfect or NOT?
