{*PCTeam*} XF PAM682 Pictorial Review

[gsxcbr1]

Just received mine today! I put it on a distressed canvas strap and my initial impression is very positive. I'll do a proper review soon...

 

[SuperLory]

what about the lume ?

 

[nicktan182]

am i right to say that the 682 rep doesn't have a serial number on the caseback as well?

 

[gsxcbr1]

what about the lume ?

I got the V1 with mono lume color.

How's the thickness of the caseback? Similar to the 312 bc I thought this model was supposed to be thinner... any shots of it on the wrist from the side profile? Thanks!

Supposed to be thinner than what exactly? Thickness of the caseback is not the sole determinator as it is a total thickness (caseback + midcase + bezel).

So what exactly is stopped it from being considered a "super rep"

that we haven't seen the gen yet comprehensively ?
We don't even know what's the real thickness of gen

Hey guys. What do the experts think about the 7750 movement vs the 23j movement versions of the PAM682?

The movement, while very nice looking, isn't 1:1 with the gen P.9010 movement. That is the problem with reps having a display caseback, the details can be scrutinized, especially with the detailed automatic movements. I put it at the last part of my review, maybe you weren't able to read.

Reliability-wise, there is no difference between them. Visually though, the balance wheel location tips the scales in favor of the A7750 with the balance wheel @11, same as the gen. The one on the A23J movement is @6, making it an instant tell.

Updated the review to include size measurements.

Congrats on an awesome watch! Love that its 42mm. Definitely on my buy list for 2017.

 

[Copterguy]

Mine is on the way. Can't wait... My first Panerai.... :B:

Thank you for this great review @mysterio. I've just ordered the xf v2 7750 from chazingtime. Will post my thoughts on it here as soon as it arrives.

The only thing that bothers me about the xf 682 is the bigger bezel. Like @lukko said in another thread the bezel seems to overhang the case.

This makes the watch and dial look bigger imo and ruins the aspect. This and also the thicker backcase.

Hope the bezel won't be a big issue in real life

Very excited about this 42mm release.

Is there a ZF version out already ?

@mysterio here is the tentative compare. I need more picture .

 

[sogo]

ZF the bezel is litter bigger than GEN from the piture, is there also have some flaw

 

[gsxcbr1]

@sogo, thanks for the excellent photos! Was there an official comparison of case thickness measurements done? Seems to be a lot of speculation over how thick the reps are compared to gen.

I will.
I m working for this compare.
The Gen Pam1312 is on my hand.
