gB. 0 Posted January 20, 2014 I doubt it's real CuSn8 bronze, probably cheap bronze alloy or brass. But looks like a decent upgrade from the gold plated SS version. http://pureti.me/product/pam382-n-bronzo-zf-11-best-edition-on-brown-distressed-calfskin-strap-p9000/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McJules 396 Posted January 20, 2014 Angus confirmed it was real CuSn8 solid case, nothing plated. i want one so bad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Realism 72 Posted January 20, 2014 ^ real CuSn8... doesn't mean it's the higher grade alloy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McJules 396 Posted January 20, 2014 we'll have to see first. hard to tell by pictures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frozen 0 Posted January 20, 2014 Some obvious errors I see. The pin on the second hand is wrong. Should be solid. The 30 is upside down on the bezel. The crown is the wrong color. The pins in the bezel don't line up well. All in all, I'd love a great rep of this watch, but this isn't there yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pins in the bezel don't line up well. All in all, I'd love a great rep of this watch, but this isn't there yet. I love a new member who actually posts something interesting as their 1st post. Welcome, you have a keen eye. Let's see if the glaring errors are rectified in the production run before we call go get too exacerbated Is a massive step in the right direction, though.

Realism 72 Posted January 20, 2014 guess the price is the next game... not surprised to see it @ $500 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McJules 396 Posted January 20, 2014 that's what i think too. the 389 is already at 438$ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted January 20, 2014 Easily north of $400. The factories are really starting to take this piss now. They'll reach a tipping point soon enough where people will realise they can get some pretty decent entry level gens for the same or > $$. Look at Steinhart for example. Still, if you think the going is good... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gB. 0 Posted January 20, 2014 Angus confirmed it was real CuSn8 Angus has confirmed fuck all. He hasn't tested the case alloy so only knows what the factory tells him. But he's in sales, so of course he's confirmed it. At least it's not plated this time and is a solid case. Solid what will be the question. I doubt it's CuSn8 bronze as even the gen micro brands can't get that right, so doubt a rep factory can. My guess is a decent brass alloy, maybe aluminum bronze at best. As long as it looks half decent I may buy one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As long as it looks half decent I may but one. you're right, no test were made. i forgot about that. we'll see, like you said, even if it's not exactly the same, it will look 200x better than the faux bronzo they sells now. the pam382 is my grail but let's be honnest, even with too much money in my pocket, instead of spending 27 freaking k$ on a watch, i'd rather get my hands on a nice porsche 964 wich i will enjoy probably 100x more than looking at the watch :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
