http://puretime03.com/pam389-q-sf-best-edition-on-black-rubber-strap-p9000-clone.html#


I look at the pam389 by sf maker on puretime (link above), it said that it has the independent hour setting as gen, so I'm interested... Question is :
Is the movt is reliable ?
Is it good to buy ?

Thank you

To answer only those two questions.

1. Is the movt is reliable ?
There hasn't been any post that I recall mentioning the reliability or lack thereof of the clone movement. That said, there probably haven't been that many sold especially if you look at the replication accuracy so that's probably why we don't see any posts regarding this.

2. Is it good to buy ?
Worth or value is a very subjective proposition. What's worth it to one might be trash to another. Is visual or replication accuracy more important to you? If so then this isn't a good buy. Is the replication of the P.9000 function more important to you than looks? Then this would be a good buy especially since there aren't any other P.9000 movement in reps that can do this.

Post Pics when you get the SF 389. Id like to see a video of the hour hand adjustments to get verification as they say "same adjusting as genuine". To me it looks like faux plate on back.

Maybe they posted the wrong pic on ad. bog dofference from pics with clone and pics with fauz deco plate. take a look again

Thanks Misterio for the answer.
Btw I'm really do care about the visual replication accuracy. But can you help me tell me about "if visual replication accuracy more important, then this isn't a good buy" ? Which part is wrong ?

In this picture, left is 389 SF, right is Gen.

The thickness of bezel and case shape itself is a dead give away. I've held both in my hands at same time. The gen is also heavier

Oh i see... So the flaw is the look from the side....
Ok ok... Last question,
When you've hold them, did you try the movement? Is that true about the independent hour hand setting as gen ?

Thank you
