HELP
Hello
Im a Noob to begin with and I was wondering if anyone here can help me Identify

a) the origin , factory perhaps?? and
b) the type of movement as well as comments on the quality of this Replica I happened to buy a few days ago.
Also anything Else you can come up with

It is Used, It keeps time VERY PRECISE, and it darn looks good.
Please help with Comments as to ., If I should get it tuned up, in order to keep it for long time, or just wear it until it breaks.

Here are Some Pictures.
Please comment for this is how I learn and maybe able to help others in the future.

Regards and thank you to all

Dimi

I can take more Pics if it would help.
The band is a leather brown original to this watch.

It’s a cheapie pam312, probably one of those from “king factory”. Most likely uses a ST2550 automatic movement.

I say wear it until it breaks. By then your taste might have developed and you might be laying your eyes on a better replica.

You can take look at the "Reference PAM REVIEW-GUIDE" ...
https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...ca-search-identification-evaluation-selection

Your model seems to be a cheap copy of the Pam 392. As you can see, the movement and its decoration is far away from looking like the Gen. But if you like the watch, wear it well. These cheapos often have movements, that are quite reliable. And the front side doesnt look too bad.

Note that all TDs purchase their watches from the same factories. They may not always stock the watch and it'll take a few days for them to order and receive it.

All TDs listed on the forum(s) are there because unlike buying from a non-TD, the mods can assist if you run into an issues. Everyone have their preferences and some stick with the same whereas others will try out different TDs. Your TD of choice will be based on reading the different TD pages and reviews and decide on one (or more).

In terms of what to buy, that's subjective and your preference. What's good for one person may not be good for another. You'll need to do your research and decide on what you like / dont't line and go from there. However not all TDs will have that model or have pictures but you can always ask them.

You are right JayBee! Something looks off, that can’t be 44mm so it must be 42mm Pam 392.

With the factory raids I would ask a TD what PAMs are available. Some are auto like this one some are manual so need winding so you need to ask for which movement. VSF do some superb automatics try SEAD or M2M sales.

See if you can find an old school 104, but a top notch Noob version. Going by your post, you will love it.
