I need one! Nice review. Is there s power reserve indicator to the rear?

As the movement tries to replicate the P.9001/B (the /B is to denote the blacked out version), yes there is. However, the PR indicator is non-functional and is only there for decorative purposes.

Thanks mysterio for this nice review of a fantastic rep
With your review and the PAM 441 review from Polonus we can get a very good idea about these magnificent watches

I was impressed by the uniformity of colour and finish of the whole watch. Just like gen. This is very important for the appearance of this watch

Really bothering and understandable recessed and pointed CP.
Nice the raised silver inscriptions on the rotor

Of course rep points added and I will include this link in PAM GUIDE


Thanks again
ALE

The 438 is out of stock at TSWATCH so I guess I'll remain faithful to my 089 for a little while longer...

Great review!

Looks better than I thought. This one could be my next purchase for the new year.


Thanks for sharing!

Am a newbie to PAM but cannot believe how people are bothered about the sunken cannon pinion. Anal comes to mind. How can such a small thing even be an issue let alone a deal breaker?

If the CP was the only issue in my other non PAM reps I would be over the moon.

Anyway nice review. I am still deciding whether to pick this up.

Remove the bracelet (after measuring how many links to take out) and then bring it to a watchsmith. Like I said, if you only ask to resize the bracelet, they should have no reason to refuse it.

Is the bracelet on screws with a pin inside? Or push fit pins? Can't see in pics as the ceramic is so dark.

Durr! Just saw the update!

Funny.. I just got 438. Cool as a thing, all that ceramics etc....but 441 is nicer, as a watch. Glad i have both :)

Why Polonus? Is it the bracelet? I love the leather strap and the ceramic watch combo, but also think that the black movement looks better, at least in pics.
