Thanks a lot for the review and the pictures. Have been waiting for this one to appear in members pics because it´s quite expensive imho for the Asian movement. The look of it has been growing on me though for the last few weeks. And it looks terrificly well in Your pictures too. Movement and timekeeping are ok on this one? 60 - clicks bezel sounds strange. Waiting for the comparison and please some lumeshots too:) Wear it well, it´s classic and beautiful, quite special.
Hi,
Its a great watch. Comfy on the wrist and stunning to look at. The movement is a A2824-2 clone, its reliable. No worries.
The GEN uses a 60 click bezel also, and its known to be a little light as well. So no worries. I was wrong in my first statement.
This is my watch (qc) pic:

Who did you buy from, if I may ask?
Only one dealer have it right now, Angus at pt. Dont know if he is a supported TD here though.
Im sure most dealers will get it eventually.

Thanks slask, seen them elsewhere but our first one here.
Been toying with having a big sale and buying a Gen but now maybe not 
?Well wear in good health!
PS dial brown not grey right?
Thnx Mike
I will compare it to a gen later this week, my boss at the desk next to me has one on bracelet. The crystal is the biggest tell i believe. The rep is not as doomed as the gen (i will confirm this later)
Brown, black, grey. It changes depending on the light. And my eyesight is not the best so could be that as well

Just received this watch a few hours ago. Had to post a few pics and first impression thoughts.
Now i cant compare this to a gen, so all observations are general. I compare fit/finish against other reps like Pam111 and SOSF v2.
Bracelet:
Was very "rattely" upon arrival. I soaked it in Rock n Roll lube and washed it off. Now if feels very good. No hard edges. Clasp snaps in as it should. SEL fit and endlinks are just great.
Case:
It collects fingerprints like an iphone screen! I find myself polishing the case with my shirt all the time. The inside corners on the lugs are razor sharp. Maybe its possible to sand thoose down. Otherwise the case is good, sits great on the wrist.
Crystal:
AR is good. Better than my Noob 111, but not as good as the SOSF v2. Its raised but i don't think its as doomed as the gen. I think..
Color hands/indexmarkers:
We know they are not the same color. But you wont notice this on the wrist. This is a non issue.
Dial:
Just great. Pure class and good execution.
Bezel and pearl:
Biggest letdown of the watch. It turns pretty easy, but its a 60 click bezel. Maybe it should be like that, but im so used to 120 click bezels so it feel strange. It also feels "sheap" when you turn it, it has a bit of play and the pearl does not center 12 marker with a click. Its between clicks if you know what i mean. pearl is centered and looks good. I know an updated pearl will be released, i don't see any reason to change this pearl. A non issue for me.
Conclusion:
I have waited for this watch for over a year. Been following the RG thread daily. I had high expectations. But when my boss bought the gen i told myself that this would be a C&R. But im not so sure anymore. Its a stunning watch with a lot of character. The grey dial and gold hand is just purse sex. Its a small watch, but wears pretty big. This is something ppl notice. The feel of the watch is very good, im starting to really love it. I highly recommend this watch. Go get it
Now on to the pics.

You need to look for our trusted dealers. If your dealer is not there then it's not supported by this forum.

Last weekend i saw for the first time the Tudor Pelagos and Black Bay at an AD. And i just fell in love in the Pelagos. So this is a tribute to the Pelagos with alot of pics and links that is useful for those who want to know more about the watch.
I love it so much so that i have put an order if my friend who is going to Dubai in two weeks find a good deal. Enjoy!

The Swiss parts should fit and it is nothing any watch smith should Be afraid to do
Ah true a read somewhere that the swizz parts should fit, then problem solved forever. Thnx for the help FxrAndy.

It sounds like a problem in the keyless works. I just fixed a similar issue on a gmt 2c for a mate. I had to replace one of the parts but this may just be dirty and the arm(can't remember the real name) is not moving back fully hence when you turn the hands backwards the gears mesh as they are forced together but when you go forwards they slip past each other.
If this is the case, would it be an easy repair for one of our modders? Are there even spareparts avalible if the keyless works is messed up?
I have just tried repairing a pro hunter rollie with gmt and the problem is when I set the keyless works and then POP out the stem and case it up and then try to insert the stem again you have to be very carefull because the yoke will POP over the castle wheel and then you can't set anything. It's a pain in the ass. That's what could of happened to you.
i have not tried to remove the stem or even look at the movement. Im not that great with movements.
Thnx for the input fellas. I will try to find Domi and ask if he can sort out the keyless on this movement. Im hoping this could be an easy fix

Hi,
Im really hoping for some input here.
I just bought a PAM029 V2 from a fellow member and i seem to have problem winding the movement. I cant set the time by turning the time forward. If i try to move the time forward the hands stop moving after a while. So now i have to set the time by moving the time backwards, and as a result it dosent change the date when i pass 12.00. I have not owned a GMT movement (Asian 2836-2) so im not sure if this is how you are supposed to set the time. But it just dosent feel right, and om my handwind pams i set the time by moving it forward. Anyone who knows?

Priceangels är billigast. Men det är samma saker som du kan köpa på en bazar i Spanien. Dvs crap. Go for the trusted dealers instead and get a proper watch. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
