Both from VSF? Why are the CP not the same? Reflection?

To bad that they dont fix the cp. Wonder if they got the correct dialstructure. Looks kinda flat.

Just in, first impressions (bear in mind I'm not anal about the detail, this is after all a $400 rep of a $8K+ gen).. I like it, a lot!
NOTE - For some reason the default setting on the camera makes the green look lighter than it is IRL, its a really nice Matte Green boarding on Khaki..

Strap swap and think it looks much better with a bit of contrast!

It does look better. Green dial and green strap is overkill.
it would also look great on black leather with green stitching.

Umm black looks nicer than green rubber indeed. You may try black leather with green stitch. Anyway is it comfortable on the wrist? Heavy?

As comfortable as it can be using a Rep Strap but its got a nice weight and sits nicely on the wrist..

I’m a Rolex guy normally, but have been branching out a bit lately :)

I’ve been looking at this for a while, and I’ve been trough the 3 different treads I could find on this model.

Maybe I’m getting old, but I don’t see the difference of the CP, what am I missing? Also is there any other obvious flaws to this model, besides the slightly increased thickness

thanks for helping a first time Pam buyer out :)

Looks very good! Would you be so kind as to measure the case thickness for us? The PAM683 from VSF is also listed on TDs sites with 14.5mm and another member on reptime measured it about 13,5mm which is very close to gen. Would be interested if the same maybe applied to this PAM1055 :)

My Pam1055 is 14,4 mm. A gen Pam1055 is 14,37mm. So there is no difference

Puretime has just re-listed the 1055 ...

the crystal seems different , also the green color of the dial ?? (or it's just the crystal that make this difference) , it's a v2 or ?

here the "v2" :
https://puretimewatch.io/pam1055-lu...ition-on-green-rubber-strap-p-900-clone2.html

and here the "first/old" release :
https://puretimewatch.io/pam1055-lu...dition-on-green-rubber-strap-p-900-clone.html


somebody has some more infos about it ? (yes i hope VSF will correct they fish eyes crystal from the 42mm sub ...)

I don’t know if this is the color of the dial (and the strap, in that case)...

I think a lumeshot at approximately the same angle with the same bevel of the crystal would give the same effect.

But so far there is no explanation, or a photo at an acute angle, these are just guesses.
