Haven't posted in awhile, so thought I would share some observations of my first PAM rep purchase this year... when OP first came out with the 389, I didn't feel much love for it and didn't seek it out to try on. But at lunch last week I got to try on the ZF version and was impressed. And bought it.
Fit and finish is among the best I've seen on any rep. Well done little details are everywhere. They got the directional arrow on the anti-magnetic cover (turn and line it up with the crown and you can easily remove it). The QR buttons are nicely done too. They have a solid feel in use.
Lume is good too, both application and charge.
The movement finish has to be seen in-person to really appreciate how good it is. The date lines up dead center in the small window.
What really sold it for me was how much more comfortable and balanced it is compared to how the 243 fit my wrist. The 389 does not feel as top heavy, nor does it want to slide as easily on my wrist like the 243 always did.
Some pics from last week...
For size reference, my wrist measures 7.5"...
