This version from November 2014 was already commented in PAM GUIDE. Nicely made but with many flaws
Extracted from PAM GUIDE
November 2014- SF released a rep of PAM 127 E-series fitted with a movement A6497 similar to Noob.
This rep really has no pretentions, because it is full of flaws.
-Inaccurate shape of lugs and case
-Inaccurate fonts of inscriptions on dial
-Completely wrong placement of inscriptions on dial. Really displaced from the gen position.
-Thinner sandwich markers
-Inaccurate shape of CG and lever
-Bad crown
-Bad colour of engravings on movement bridges and ugly perlage
-Mineral crystal
Finish is OK but the flaws don’t allow a good evaluation
I think is not even a good rep although it is nicely made

Seems SF has updated the movement. It now has Y incabloc, and ETA markings as well.

@V6-Owners.
How loose is the lever on yours?
Is it fix in each position or did it wobble/fall down from complete open position to the beginning of clamp position?

Same thing here. Arrived loose. Is there a way to fix it?

...maybe it works, but for me it's a very nonprofessional method and the other thing is, that I don't want to handicrafts at a new watch.
Interesting. Thanks for the reply. I may actually try this. I'll post the result

Today I played a little bit around with the movement from my KW127. Servicing, a little bit polishing her, a little bit brushing there, installing a ETA gear train. And I must say, the 6497/2 from the KW127 is one of the best rep movements I have seen, and I have seen a lot movements in the last 5-6 months.
Even the base plate has a much better "brushing" than any other rep 6497 I have seen before.
BUT the CP is a fake CP. same as at my KW389.
But better a perfect fake CP than a wrong real CP.

Hey Chris how hard was it to remove the bezel and pop it back in to get the movement out?
Not really hard...with the right tool...

Another, IMHO more professional method is here:

This is the 'original' Rep-Strap (Cashmere Gold).
Some called it 'crap', but IMHO it looks really good & nice, soft quality.
For me it's a 7 on a 10 rating scale.
