Never have a bronze watch before but this one looks irresistible. Lol
Some concerns for me.
How heavy is it? I had VSF 389 and sold it due to weight. Look like this one seems to be the heaviest submersible PAM right?
Broze usually keeps developing patina. If we are satisfied with patina, can we stop the patina? . Anyway to seal or coat it?

This will likely be close to the same weight as the other bronzos (382 and 671). The only difference I see is the bezel. There may be a little less bronze material to accommodate that, but I doubt enough to be noticeable.
There is toms of info out there as far as developing patina and how to slow it down. I have heard that beeswax will work, but have never tried it.
According to rep pam weights, in a recent topic, pam382 weighs ~ 168 g without a belt. Pam968, as rightly noted above, will be a little easier, due to the slightly thinner body and ceramic on the frame. In any case, it will be heavier than any titanium submersible, but not so critical. I believe that weight is part of the charm and features of this model with material such as appearance.
This one is totally wrong... wrong indices, wrong hour and minute hands, and wrong blue, wrong bezel amd bezel markers, it's a low version of 671.I’ll try to message you today night when I get home.
VSF 671 looks good except for minute hand - inaccurate shape of minute hand.
I’ve been told it’s already out.

Blue color should be the same as XF - they are using same leftovers dials. I think they will do new printing on the dial but the color will be same as XF. On top of that that pic is probably just a prototype.
ive been told it’s released then I’ve been told that it’s not out yet so who knows, maybe they are refinancing it.

Hope so, there are a few problems with the dial on this one, apart from the minute hand. The gap between the markers at 12 o'clock seems fractionally too big too, to my eyes. But hell, let's see! Always space for another bronzo (or two...)

Regardimg the 12 o'clock markers, It's not the gap, it's the size, and size of all markers, minute AND hour hand. They used the parts of the original bronzo, the green dial, that has thinner markers and hands.

I'll be pulling the trigger on a Gen strap for that too! Of course pending the quality of the rep, but VSF quality has been decent of late so shouldn't be an issue.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see a reboot of all the bronzos at a 42 or 44mm size.

1. Your collection? 2. If so, for the blue one, where did you get the strap from ?
