midasmook 14 Posted December 9, 2012 Ale7575 does fantastic work and I now consult his guide over at RWI before I buy any other Pam. I appreciate all the work he does on the subject of Pams. He has done an awful lot to help others on all boards and has written probably the definitive Pam guide. Thanks Ale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted December 9, 2012 Price of 316L is not different from price of 316F, and I know it on my own experience, dealing with chinese watch factories DIRECTLY. Same way I know, that rep. factories don't give damn about my, or yours, or Angus opinions or demands. They do, what they want, and the only thing they care is a profit, and, since we buy and will buy watches - their profit is guaranteed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason2008 0 Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) thanks Ale for the info. i knew nothing about Pam's but now........... thanks for that probably need to read it 10 times more to get it right....., was planning to pull the trigger on the Noob 111 V3 , but i'm lost right now.... , wich dealer has the right dial and wich one has the wrong. I never ask quality pictures, just trust the dealer was my idea, never got dissapointed in the past. Was planning to order at mr, but not so sure anymore.. ( nothing to do with mr, only doubting about the watch ) Edited December 9, 2012 by Jason2008 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do, what they want, and the only thing they care is a profit, and, since we buy and will buy watches - their profit is guaranteed. THIS is the bottom line folks. One of my wife's businesses deals with vendors in both China and Taiwan so she has a good understanding how manufacturing in Asia works... it all comes down to how many you want... trust me the PAM part of rep manufacturing is so small in numbers compared to rep Rolex sales its mind boggling (and the bottom line is how many watches of a particular brand are they going to sell... a couple of hundred watches isn't going get to them very excited). So from an economic standpoint alone there is little motivation to hear our cries and re-tool for a completely new watch or part. Of course there have been many improvements over time but they're usually incremental. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ALE7575 24 Posted December 9, 2012 I probably wouldn't have noticed the difference in QC pics & could live with either version but do appreciate knowing about it. IMHO, a main reason we're getting such excellent reps these days is this kind of hyper focus, analism, attention to detail, etc among buyers. thanks Ale Ale7575 does fantastic work and I now consult his guide over at RWI before I buy any other Pam.

It is just ridiculous !! ALE @ Jason: concerning QCpics, you have to ask the dealer for them always, in order to guarantee you will recive the correct watch. As above said it is not a dealer problem it is a maker problem. ask for the QC pics, see the dial and then you take your decission. No worries about PM me to RWI if you have some doubts.

honeybear 0 Posted December 9, 2012 so this was serious.. Very much so... because 0.0080532738% of the world population call tell the difference in a rep on a dial from 10 miles away Dude, you need to chill. For better or worse, there are people on this forum who are concerned about such flaws, and if you don't care, that's fine, but not everyone has to share your opinion.

ALE7575 24 Posted December 9, 2012 I think that it is not yet clear my position concerning this matter My opinion is that it is serious there are correct and wrong dials at the same time in the market !!! Concerning the importance of the flaw: Bear in mind that this flaw exists more a month ago and anyone, my self included, had realized the issue. And we have studied and published a lot of QC pics of these V3 watches in RWI Indeed was amperes in RWG who detected the flaw and not myself. So, if you have a V3 with wrong dial just enjoy it !!! But if you receive QC pics , bear iin mind this matter and you will decide ALE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay123 0 Posted December 9, 2012 Moral of the story is, imo it cant be classed as a "super rep" with this dial IMO, look how easily it was spotted on the first page, thought "super reps" where meant to be more or less identical or so ive read on the rep forums,? What does my opinion count though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
