PAM968 Gen vs. Rep Mini Review

[wmux2000]

Brown cracked leather...

Lume seams rounded on the gen and totally flat on the vsf.

This is also the case with the 671. Wish they would fix this as the round lume gives a better overall appearance.

Slight difference... I'll see if I can get better pics, as well with the lume under light. One other callout: you'll notice the fonts for the lettering on the dial have a slight difference.

Great post mate, any specific letters to pay attention to ?

Thanks. You’ll notice that the font lettering on the dial of the rep is slightly thicker and darker than gen. Only really noticeable side by side.

Thank you For the comparison, you can take a night photo to see the lume of both

Yes, this is a very good watch, and I would be hoping for a new version from VSF, or suddenly another factory wants to make money on this long-awaited model. The differences are subtle, and few people have gen at hand for comparison, but in general, at the moment, I see a lot of problems on both sides. Perhaps 911 will wait, I will not dwell on this, having 382.

I’ve received my watch and also a bronze buckle. Compared to other bronze watches that I have and the buckle I’ve bought the case is a very rose gold rather than yellow. This makes me wonder if the case is bronze? Has anyone else noticed this and what is your opinion? Also will this more pink bronze develop a more natural brown rather than green patina. I love the bronze case but it’s definately more rose coloured

Nail polish...

How do you get it to not leak onto the rest of the bezel. Or are you just free-handing it with a fine paintbrush ? Thanks for your previous reply

 

[PolonusTM]

Paint over (using toothpick), remove excess, clean. Repeat.

Thank you so much for this review, very tempted to buy one (rep)

 

[Marbe78]

The truth is that they are so close, that those minimal defects do not matter to me compared to the price and availability of the watch.
Thanks to VSF

Thank you for the pictures!

The colour of the markers bothers me, and the movement - let's face it - is not a good solution.

Let's hope for a V2 (which I don't see happening. It's more quantity than quality ATM).

I wouldn't buy this one, as beautiful as it is, the lume colour would bother the hell out of me, never mind the crystal issue and wrong movement.
