Nice to see another serious factory in the game. That can only mean great things for this hobby. I remember when JFac came on with better APs, decimating and shattering the allure of Noob factory. However, $688 is rather high for a PAM, even with a working rattrappante complication, me thinks. [emoji848]

Awesome!!! It says to make sure both needles are stopped before pressing the 4:00 button to reset the needles. Hopefully it doesn't break if you accidentally press it otherwise hehe..... that beauty is next on my list.

The distortion doesn't necessarily mean the crystal is bad. That happens to domed crystals and is desirable, if the gen's crystal is domed too.

It looks like the gen's crystal is distorting much less, did you look at the side-to-side comparison?

Gens shows almost no distortion, even from different angles! For the price of this watch, they could have done a lot better. I think it looks awful, easy to spot.

I can tell you now the gen I tried on had quite pronounced distortion depending on the angle.

See around the 3 and 9 markers



Even small variances on the angles made a big difference , let's just see when mine arrives :)

I can tell you now my rep h-fac pam212 distorts similar to gen , if vsf is anything like that I'll be happy :)

If you watch the video the split second feature looks a little clunky... is it me or should the following hand snap inline with the leading second hand? I have always wanted a true split second movement!!! I was even looking to put one in a Pam rep but the cheapest movement I found was almost $2,000... LOL

Ok so seems the trustytime video is clunky but the VSF video looks pretty damn good!!! That is one watch on my list or at least the movement is. ;)

It says saphire but wouldn't be surprised if it's just mineral glass

It's not plexi

Just have to wait out CNY :) and we will put it to the test ;)

Hopefully price lowers to 500ish and other TDs to carry it.
