Found this thread the other day doing 088 research before I got one M2M.

Isnt the brushed CG a confirmed dead giveaway of the rep?

Found this one with a brushed CG at Crown and Caliber lol…you can zoom in and clearly see its brushed and it has sharper edges. I dont have the eye for the other tells to determine if its rep, but wondering what you guys think:

Hello!

Yes, that's right, VSF's PAM088 has a satin CG versus a polished one on GEN (Like most of the automatic models of this type in this case), I mentioned this in the description in this post. For me personally, this is unacceptable as a movement applied, as well as many other shortcomings, however, you can see a lot of examples on the forum when the CG was polished on its own, including softening the edges and optimizing the shape. It's a work in progress for those who think it's worth it, and many modders, I believe, would take on the job if it's just this shortcoming for you personally.

As a rep out of the box, this is certainly not good at all.

Agreed…i recently got a VS 088 because Ive always wanted one, but its a dogshit rep lol…

First course of business was fixing the CG (see the link below). The subdial missing the circles is annoying, but I can accept it (for now)….from more than 1ft away its not noticeable and lets be real…99% of people you meet in everyday life dont even know what Panerai is lol nevermind knowing the subdial should have texture. The GMT also annoying given I have 15yr old reps with correctly functioning GMT movements, why in the FUCK would VS choose to do an inaccurate rep of the movement? Just silly. Given I wear each watch 1x a week max, not a big deal to me for now.

Tbh, I just love the look (w the correctly polished CG w softened edges as I did), its an incredible watch…

PAM088 CG Mod

Just got a VS PAM088 in and the first order of business was fixing the brushed CG and switching it over to polished to match the Gen. Overall, Im extremely happy with the result.

That’s an amazing comparison. There is nothing like that for 960?
