I've just ordered one from John/Timewilltell.

I'll update with pics when it comes. John tells me that this is from the same people that make the PAM372 SC. (H-fac?) I don't know whether he was referring to the movement or was he referring to the watch itself.

Time to buy a strap!

John could be referring to both (the same movement factory and the same watch maker). The PAM372 Superclone and its movement were not made by H-Factory else they'd be making a fuss over how they made a better 372 in terms of movement compared to Noob.

I really like this watch. I already have the 372 I think this will be a good addition. The 47mm case has a great wrist presence and the cali dial will pop

It seems really good

I would like to see detailed pics of markers lume application and lume colour to check accuracy
Dial layout accuracy seems really good (few differences and few noticeable)
Movement- we know already the Clone P.3000. No more comments needed
VINTAGE and PAM 0448 are engraved in the GEN
Rep has confirmed L SWISS L
Case edges and corners are sharp enough indeed gen has them a bit rounded (even more than this rep. No noticeable in practice, just under macro lens)
We will wait for more comments, reviews and evaluation

As a first evaluation, pending more info, maybe First Class rep medium level or even high level if lume application and colour are confirmed as accurate.

I think that the 425 would be perfect!!!!

425 is ok, but the blue hands in the 449 are really striking.

I just got some pics from John! It looks freaking fantastic. The lume on the dial looks like it fills an engraving instead of just being on top of a flat piece of metal. It looks like the genuine build.

care to share the pics? :) I just placed my order for one 2 days ago but have yet to receive my qc pics. from the sounds of it, it seems like it'll be an amazing watch and I absolutely can't wait to get mine! oh btw I'm a fellow Singaporean, but living in Australia :)

hmm interesting look radomir. No logo dial.
Think this will work with a suit?, looking for a watch that has the stealth look very few people will recognize.

424 doesn't work with a suit. The lugs catch on the dress shirt for me. Not great.

I would suggest a much smaller watch, although your profile picture may suggest you prefer otherwise :D

Yea, need something a little more subtle then that one. People tend to notice it :D

47mm does seem a bit big to fit under sleeves.

So the 448/449 are domed plexi and the 424 is sapphire?
I hope they got the plexi distortion correct. looks cool in the pics.

They're both unique, not sure which to go for.

here's a pic on the wrist.

Yes the 424 and 425 are the sapphire versions of the 449 and 449.

The sapphire is actually super nice, It's the exact same shape as the plexi on the 448.
