VSF will release PAM908 and PAM756, Limited.

Same function as genuine watch, quick hour hand adjustment.

The question is, will they be gen spec in terms of the case size (38mm)?

 

[The Rod]

And will they be 11mm thick? But in general it's very good news!

I guess VSF is ready to use their Omega 8500 clone movement in different watches, so can we expect more Luminor due to come out in the near future kobe24 ?

 

[capice]

the pics always look great but what they' ll be in real...always the question...

I certainly hope so. I'm dying for a PAM676 (42mm), or a 674 (45mm).

+1 on the 674, but it's a different movement (with micro-rotor) therefore it's not very likely to be repped. SF was the only one who tried to with PAM572 but it appears it has been a one-off effort...

Yeah - it's a shame they went to the effort of cloning the P.4000 movement then didn't really do anything with it, besides the 572. I'm just hoping there's a bunch of unused movements lying around somewhere that someone wants to use up.

Being that SF is kind of the "movement factory", often supplying other makers, it wouldn't be such a stretch...

17.5mm!? Oh man, why did they even bother? That will look even more disproportionate given the 38mm case.

Does that word close to 17.5mm mean thickness???

it's a low beat non-hacking movement (and the gen is 28.8 with hacking) so i wouldn't be surprised if it didn't sell as well as they hoped because of that. I like mine though, I'm wearing it right now.

I sincerely doubt that's 38mm. Nobody's wrist is THAT small for the lugs to still go over the sides of the wrist. I think that's a 44mm case. Especially if you consider how thick the watch is. 17.5mm, that's as thick as a PAM312 and very far from the gen's 11.2mm thickness.

I think you're right -- a tad disappointing. BUT, if I may play devil's advocate, Panerai is all about the look, the feel and the vibe.

If this is trying to rep a 38mm model with a 44mm case, the replication aspect of this build is junk. But if it is taking the design cues of the 38mm and putting it into a 44mm watch, then stylistically it might be a nice addition to the collection.

To put it another way, I'd have no interest in the 756 in either a gen or well-replicated form. I might have an interest if its executed in 44mm ...

 

[kobe24]

Maker told me it's 13.8mm thickness

Buttttt did they say if its 38mm or 44mm???

Doesn't look like 38mm -- also, check out the lume shot hahaha. Half-baked at best ...

 

[preppyr6]

Looks decent, I do wish they got the blue leather color correct though...

 

[nalomb]

Meh -- does the color of the strap matter if its cat leather? Asking for a friend ...
