If you're going to get the PAM629, please make sure the case is made of DLCed titanium. The SF was made of DLCed stainless steel but the ZF should have been made of the correct DLCed titanium case. It's a good rep, just see if the crystal does not distort the dial very much.

SF has the correct font on the crown lever though and that much more preferable IMO since it's a visual difference rather than a weight issue you'd only notice on a scale. I got the SF and put a low distortion KW crystal on it. Very happy with it.

Where would I find an SF? That site onl6has one version.

Most TDs should be able to get them. Try Sead at supermirrors, chazingtime or puretime. Intime could probably get you one too if you asked.

Bear in mind that the SF has a blue AR on its crystal. I recommend asking for a KW crystal but make sure they know its for a PVD watch because it will likely come with the bezel. So mine has both the crystal and bezel replaced. Imagine its from the KW PAM617 which I also have. That's a doozey too.

Same for the 617?
617 has the dome crystal too but the 629 has the tramlines around the dial which get distorted. If you want one you don't have to fart around with, get the 617 or 508. I'll post you a side-by-side pic when I get a chance.

That would be awesome if you can. Thanks so much looking forward to it

Also was looking at this pam508 http://www.tb-688.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=35_58&product_id=1428 at torobravo

I don't care about the movement being decorated since case back is closed. Is this a good rep? For the price it looks awesome.

What do you guys think?
