I have some questions here.

- Isnt the gen P9000 movement beating at 28,800 vph? The switching to ST2555 makes it only 21,600 vph, although the balance wheel is nearer to 7..

- If im not wrong, the ST25 is a much cheaper movement compared to the A7750, around 1/3 of the price. It is also what we usually refer to the family of "21J movement" and are usually found in lower end reps, and Panris watches.
I know it is much more reliable compared to A7750, but at $295 isnt this a bit too expensive?

A7750 is more expensive because it has chrono possibilities no necessary for this watch.
ST2555 is reliable and precise, more than A7750 IMO.
No worries about different beat they are also different movements
Trust me, Seagull is magnificent. Many people agree about that knowing its quality.

@GeDi

Is Sora a new TD? I'm not familiar with her..mind providing her website? I've ordered from Ryan before, wondering whether to get this straight from KW but your QC pics just look so good haha

@ALE

Is the wording on the dial different color from the gen??

As far as I know last series of PAMs usually have nice creamish inscriptions and following Mehmet (from KW) indications they have copied the gen colour like in PAM 312.

ALE

You mean the O series?

Most of the 388 pics online seem to have a more creamish color than the orangey one that is on the KW?

Don't trust the colour on pics
Yes I'm talking about O-series
Trust KW because they are making reps with the gen dials and watches as samples.
The inscriptions are creamish exactly like gen, and it seems that dial is not completely black (no tobacco either but not completely black, a bit warmer)

Woody284 · 13/8/13

So I have the 380 but this 388 looks good bc I always like to see a date. But is it suppose to look small like that? And Ale when are you gonna do a review or bc I love the guides and tables you got

I can attest to the accuracy as I received my 505 yesterday morning (same movement) and over the last 36 hrs only running @ +2 secs. Only wish my 7750's did that!

Joshuafeng · 14/8/13

Does anyone else notice that the sound of the movement is a bit too loud? Do we know whether the real watch have the same level of sound for its movement?

Bonesey · 14/8/13

What are we talking strap size on this then , 26/22mm ?

Yep. It should be the same standard OEM size for 45mm rads such as the PAM380.

Bonesey · 14/8/13

I think this might suit it nicely. There's not a huge amount of choice of 26/22mm straps out there. Especially for larger wrists.

Thanks Bones
It is indeed a good choice
And you are right it is no easy to find 26/22
It will fit really good the PAM 388 and even PAM 505

vootzilla · 14/8/13

You can try 26/22 Asso' strap. It looks good on almost anything.
