{*PCTeam*} PAM 364 Noob small review [QC pics allowed]

[PolonusTM]

I asked my watch smith to remove these decorative plates and to not to mount them back (to make the watch even more light and to save the trouble for future services). If more of these movements will appear to be old ones - we could understand the idea of decorative plates in closed case back watches... The watchsmith said the movement was old, used and looked like put from two different movements then APPARENTLY regulated to look / work nice for few weeks.

Thanks Polonus

Really interesting info... and surprising.
It is alarming that this movement used by Noob and seems the same used by ZFac.!!
I hope KW decorated is different

What will we be able to found under those decorative plates.... !!!


Really tired and bored when I review or write in the GUIDE about the "new" decorated versions, precipitately released, without checking and taking many risks for the future owners.
Zfac ZP9000-V2 has a reduced balance cock to barely a bar. How will this reduction affect the working of the movement ?
KW ZP9000-V2 has not reduced balance cock but has thicker inscriptions on bridges (like many other "improved" versions)

I'm hating more and more those decorated and their "improvements"
Makers should think asap in a true clone P.9000. Decoration way should be closed

There is a lot of confusion for the buyers, and many of them will become disappointed when they see a "new" and supposedly "improved" version some DAYS after his purchase.
I own almost all decorated P.9000 reps V1 bought during LAST YEAR (from KW PAM 312 to KW PAM 382). Now all them are theoretically obsolete (please note I say theoretically)

Time to stop... (well... I will buy this PAM 364 before)

ALE

+1

I prefer reliability over closeness to gen.
These are not cheap 21j you flip when they break.

...and I thought this was to get more accuracy... LOL
Really sad

It's missing a decorative screw. :lol:

is it possible, we buy this watch, and we request the TD to put a New and NON-decorated A7750 in it?

Ask your TD. YMMV

Nice review. I like that there's no cyclops on this model, one less thing to get wrong.

Whatevs... I dig the Cyclops. Tell me that's not a nicely executed Cyclops... Noob got about everything right on the 243. Sorry, back on topic

Does anyone know if the CP issue has been truly resolved? Intime claimed that it is now flushed as per gen. Anyone purchased one recently?

 

[PAMaholic]

mine incoming in a few days. What you think. To me it looks great.

Issue is not resolved. Look at my qc pics, just two days old.
