{*PCTeam*} Review PAM671 Bronzo XF V2

[mysterio]

Great review how is the lume on the watch?

Here is from my ZF vs XF V2 comparison review.

ZF on the left, XF V2 on the right.

In case you want to read on the differences between the two, here is the thread.

Very good work. Thank you for sharing this review, Chris.

Strap and watch are really nice combo.......
Wear a 382 on Corrigia Bronzo.... but the blue dial is really an eyecatcher and on my wishlist!
Congrats !

Seems like the XF was a clear winner vs the ZF version, but has anyone compared this to the V6 version listed on intime? Or is the XF v2 good enough and I should just grab one up?

I join the Bonzo club, finally.

Today arrived my PAM671 T Bronzo XF V2 from chazingtime.

And as always when I get a new PAM, i full service the movement. But not without making some pics of the watch.

As we all know the Bronzo develop patina very fast, so the first step was resetting the patina to zero.

We had a lot of threads about this reset and I tried it with Sprite and lemon juice.

This was how the watch arrived

this was my setup for the reset

I just put the 671 in a bowl with sprite and the procedure begins immediately with some bubbles all around the watch

Next step was the lemon juice

The watch was inside this mixture for around 10-15 minutes

And this is how the 671 comes out

Ok, I put the strap back on the watch for the photo box

Some close ups

Case back

And the “P.9010” movement

It’s really cool how good this deco plates are.

First step for the movement service is removing the rotor and ist not always easy with this deco rotors.

The 3 screws are also just deco and the whole thing is one big center screw.

So you can unscrew the roter with a tweezers if you remove two of the 3 deco screws

Next step is the movement deco. My tip is, just take a closer look to the screws at the deco and you will find the real screws. Because the real screws will always have sings from a screwdriver.

This one just look to good to be a real screw

And this is how a real screw in a rep watch looks

So just remove the two real screws and than you can remove the plate

Underneath we find the standard A7750 clone movement. Easy to service and easy to repair

Next step is removing the CG

And the crown

Now we remove the movement from the case

So we have the chance to make some close ups of the dial

I was really surprised to see the hands a very dirty

But don’t forget, this are extremely close ups under a brutal light. You don’t see the dirt under normal conditions and a normal light.

Hands removed

It’s very hard to photograph this shiny little CP

Next step is removing the dial

The dial is glued to the movement ring and also have some feet

now we can see the blue DW

The rest is just a normal service for a A7750

XF use a good clone for this watch and I have seen much worse A7750 movements

BTW, the CP is still a cap

At the end some wrist shots with a corrigia strap

My resume is, the new Bronzo 671 form XF is a nice watch. The bronze case is very cool and has his own life.

But to be honest, I just like the look without patina and the blue dial is very special and makes it hard to find a fitting strap.
IMO just a blue strap will work with this special watch.

Edit:

The bezel turns really really hard after all this lemon juice, sprite, ketchup thing.

But a little drop of WD40 underneath the bezel solve this problem quickly

Just a drop and than turn the bezel 3-4 times.

Congratulations, tremendous work and great photos ... !!!
