I've been trying to ease off reps and hadn't ordered one in a year. In that time Iiterally put a Pam616 into my cart 3 times and then took it out again because of the 47mm caseset being just too big, and the fact that I am enjoying smaller watches at 39/40mm these days. I saw the Pam960 and boy am I glad I waited. Ordered from Josh on 12/12 and it arrived on Christmas Eve morning. It has not been off my wrist since then! I agree the caseset material feels 'ceramic like', but to me this is a plus as it is not plasticky like a G-Shock. The lume could have been a little brighter but it's not bad, and it is in keeping with the whole 'blackout' look (same reason I like the black OP logo on the rep strap over the blue logo of the gen strap).

Just caught up with this. I am sorry it didn't work out for you. Ultimately different people will have different standards and levels of expectation and every clone has it's own telltale signs. I have accepted about 3 watches where the bezel click is not perfect top dead centre but they were good enough to make me happy when I had them on the wrist, and at the end of the day that's all this is about. You are probably going to be better off saving for a Gen, or type "TC Sub V6" and prepare to be amazed...

Sometimes there is a little give on the ratchet clicks. I'd probably have accepted it. Milgausses aren't my thing so maybe have a look through the forum.

i've had one opened by royal mail. No consequence , you just say you were thinking you were buying gen - this is what Royal Mail / LMVH said when they contacted me. Josh sent another watch with a different courier. Recently the item description has been filled in as a timer..

LOL I have emailed Joshua to see if he's had one in hand and has some extra QC pics he can send me. His listing pictures are very inconsistent in terms of the orange rubber bezel colour. Let's see what he says. No more Star Wars puns - I promise!

What - fall on my own lightsaber - you've got to be kidding!

Mate it will be there but it's small and you need to get the light just right to see it. Take a look at this, and check yours again

For my education, how can you tell. I have the V6.

Loving that lume!

I'm conflicted about the current rep of this watch. The caseset is steel not titanium, which would be a no-no if I were after the bracelet version, but I'd probably get the one with the Nylon strap and I could probably live with the steel caseset. Then the dial is pretty close but has Zr02 instead of Ti on it. https://vimeo.com/176922699 With my luck if I placed an order for the current 43.5 model, they'd release one with titanium caseset and the correct dial markings the following week!

Yes but I have an Omega dark side of the moon rep with a quartz movement that sweeps, rather than ticks.

Never - I would imagine! Most people I know who have fancy watches know very little about them and what makes them special.

Welcome - the Chi is strong and friendly on this forum!

Few years ago there was a story of rep Breitlings and Panerais being sold at Costco. The theory was that Costco bought them from a third party thinking they were Grey but still Gens. You'd be daft to sell a Rolex on Ebay without appropriate papers.

I like how the tan strap complements the colour of the numerals and inlays. Only trouble is it won't stay like that !
