Which PAM320?

[tiger123]

Hi All,

Fantastic resource you have here.

I have read ALE's Panerai guide, however wanted to make sure I had up to the minute info.

Want to buy a PAM320, looking at the VSFSuper Clone V2, is this the best choice in terms of an accurate replica?

Another option is the KW Best version, however leaning towards the first as Kuvarsit has the VSF on Rubber which I'd prefer.

Any better options I may have missed?

Thanks

I'd say any version with P9000 or P9001 is best from VSF especially now when we have the movement looking 95% as gen and gen like operations with improved super luminova.
I have two reps from VSF and I don't think you'd regret going for VSF version.

Welcome to RWI! Yes, the vsf v2 is the way to go, gen like 12h gmt, only non working function is power reserve

Thanks very much for the feedback!

Ordered, QC pics coming in 1-2 days, that's cool, everyone needs a weekend ????

The vsf v2 is awesome. You can put the gen bracelet with a perfect end links. The case is very well built, and mine is really accurate (-8.0sec on 82days !)

Nice. I'll be sourcing a leather strap for sure.

My main concern is you not following the rules. No posting of QC pictures unless you see a serious issue that needs confirmation"

My mistake, delete away mods.

Great pick up, looks gorgeous in these pictures. It's on my wishlist too!

I picked up a VSFSuper Clone V2 last month and I love it. I also have a PAM111 V4 Noob and the 320 feels so much more substantial on the wrist. The Pam111 is a great watch too, but almost feels like a toy in comparison. My only complaint I had with my 320 was that the rotor spin was a little loud. I added a tiny drop of Moebius oil to the rotor and it made it spin so much smoother and almost completely eliminated the rotor noise.

Crap. Been away a little longer than usual only to find the P9000 v2 sports the correct 12h GMT function AND there’s a 320 with it..... all in a single thread :facepalm:
Awesome pick up BTW OP! Congrats!

Great watch! I am new at the RWI and the pam320 is definitly the reason. I hope can deal sth out with a TD.

I'm exactly hesitating between those two ... the 111 or the 320 ...

What do you mean by 111 feels like toy ? Because of thickness and less complications ?
