Looks like it has the longer hand and the better flush cp. Didn't we just determine that as the dlc'd version? ALE what's the real deal? Does that say CERAMIC or CERAMICA?

The V6 441 has also a longer minute hand. I think/hope they improved it.
GEN has on the front "ceramica" and on the back "ceramic"

Guys, I've been trying to work out how the GMT hand works....it obviously moves around when you put the crown in the position to move the time but can't work out how it correlates to the 24hr function.....am I missing something?

The GMT hand moves when you put the crown into the date-change position, rotating the crown forward rotates the date, backwards adjusts the GMT hand. As the GMT hand moves once around the dial every 24 hours, so each 30 minutes on the dial corresponds to 1 hour on the GMT. If for example, the other time zone you are setting is 4 hours ahead of yours, then the GMT hand would be two hours ahead of the hour hand on the dial. You do have to remember the 30 minutes GMT : 1 hour dial conversion.

You're welcome. Do note that since the GMT hand's movement is on the same position as the date change, it's recommended to do the change when the hour hand is at 6. :)

My 438 on Gen Strap. As much as I love the ceramic bracelet. This strap looks and feels absolutely amazing on the wrist.

Yes, it would take the standard 24mm rubber and leather straps for that matter. How did your bracelet break?

Interested to know too....!

Question; do people think that the balance wheel issue and power reserve will ever be fixed to make it a true super rep?

As long as it's not fixed, there is always the possibility of being remedied in a future release. ;)

Amazing PAM438

Hey guys, I received some days ago my full ceramic PAM438 from Ken. This watch is just... WOW... I love it and I think the makers have fixed some issues.
Here some impressions of my PAM438. I think that is the actual release:

The minute hand looks now more gen and longer then on the first release of the ceramic PAM438:

CP looks also better:

CANNON PINION:
However, even though it was touched upon in Polonus' review, I will make the first exception and describe the CP. :lol:
