No worries at all. The pics were clear enough.

I do think the lume is a tad bit greener but honestly it's not bad at all. Overall, what a fantastic offering from XF. Thank you for sharing all the photos so far.

I went to Trusty's website and looked at the video of XF 000. It does indeed look like a good rep. CG does seem to sit higher up. Even the lume color looks more correct on 000 as compared to their 005 offering. In the video though, I noticed the lume color on the hands is slightly more green than on the numbers. I am not sure if this is actually the case in real life. Maybe blim can confirm this.

That's the best I can do with my crappy phone camera, samsung A20

The finishing on the XF PAM000 case is pretty smooth imo, the areas where the lugs join the case. The joints and interior are smooth and polished.
The ends of the screw bar are also flat and polished

In regards to the CG. I think due to closeups, it looks as if the gap is big, but under normal circumstances, the gap actually looks pretty small

I totally see what you mean now. Your first Pic looks deceivingly wide gapped but 2nd Pic looks perfect. 000 XF seems like a very good rep. Even the lume color looks real accurate and flat CP.

I don’t know if XF is better than Noob, i think that the little details are minimals in the two factories. The case of XF, in my opinion, is better than Noob case, I have compared 111 Noob and 005 XF and are very very similar, but, XF case has better polish.

Looks good overall, but that recessed CP hum... hurts like a sore thumb.

It's things like this that cannot be reviewed by looking at pics only. Thanks for pointing out the quality of the polishing. I also agree we are all discussing little variances between reps and rep and gen.

My buddy has a XF 111 that I wasn't able to check out in person yet due to the lockdown, but he absolutely loves his. I hope to check it out one day and share my thoughts here.

The next watch will be Pam 000 XF, I think that the quality of watch is very hight. Pam 005 XF, 53h power reserve and up... ????. I would like that XF, NooB, VSF, will make Pam 187 again.

That’s actually about average power reserve.

My pam417 (KW factory) ETA Asian 6497 clone movement has 6 days power reserve.

6497 6 days? Are you sure you're not confusing anything?

 

[sukwonee]

Oh wow..... My 6497s only get like 40 hours.

 

[Charlie_Spain]

Hi, other watches with the same caliber are about 52/56h, this is the first watch with 6497 and 60h power reserve. I don’t know if other XF has the same reserve. About the Pam 417... two reserve barrels?

Nope. I know it seems unbelievable but it’s runs for 6 days. I even don’t know how is that possible.
