I have the stainless steel black dial version with red lettering, excellent rep

No worries, only fix is to have the dial/hands relumed

Great review and pics, thanks for sharing! I really hope this factory release a blue or anthracite dial auto PAM soon, maybe with a titanium case? That would be sweet!

I am getting a feeling of déjà vu here?

Three year old thread resurrection, really?

The all black Tag 500M rep is very, very poor indeed, buy any other version for better acuracy The rep case is steel PVD, should be titanium PVD, the Calibre 5 lettering on the dial is red, should be white, no AR crystal, the all black has single sided AR, the case back on the rep is clear, the gen crystal has a "smoked" finish, the lume is not the right colour at all, the date wheel is white, not black and the crown/bezel are not rubberised like the genuine..... Seriously, don't buy it, it looks and feels nothing like the genuine watch There isn't a titanium rep, but I really hope they release a proper version, not just this half assed effort, I mean all they did was PVD the black dial version and blacken the hands, rubbish!

Thanks for the info. Ceramic case on this piece? How much was the watch?

Buy the watches you like, if anyone asks just tell them its a rep, I never try to pass my reps as gens, I don't see the point any more

Two year old thread resurrection!

Once they have your money, and you say you are happy with the watch in the QC pics, you think the dealer will: 1) Not deliver the watch to you because he sees you posted the QC pics? 2) Even have the time to find out you HAVE posted the QC pics? Seriously, you're probably the only member that listens to that nonsense from the dealers This would be the first set of QC pics to be seen of this updated watch......

He only says that to stop people commenting on the watch if they find a defect, post away!

Nice watch, I would be more concerned with your lug screws, they are raised from the lug itself and seem to need tightening! I would use some thread locker on them all to be sure they stayed in place

If the watch is cosmetically fine, no marks or spots on the dial/hands or crystal etc..... you will probably regret sending it back, as reps usually have some flaw or defect.....

Not a fan of any form of plating, it rubs/wears off, or can get scratched, to reveal the metal beneath.... I think this watch is probably one of the best reps you can buy in my opinion http://www.puretimewatch.com/product/mille-miglia-gt-xl-chrono-limited-edition/ Or there is the recently released Alfa Romeo edition, although I have no clue how accurate it is, the siver version is spot on http://www.puretimewatch.com/product/mille-miglia-gt-xl-chrono-alfa-romeo/ There is no wrong choice really, buy what you like, but beware of cheap rep plating!!

Welcome to the forums!

This factories PAM'S always use low beat 6497'S, so unless the dealer is swapping movements, I would imagine it's an "error" on there part

Yeah, let me get my crystal ball! Ah you've added links, can you tell beat rate by looking at a picture?

They should release the carbon version of this!

Yep, the case seems glossy with the rep, shame they missed this vital detail on the case finishing!

Just contact them, hopefully they will have what you're looking for, just be sure to ask for the bold PAM font disc

Have a peak here: http://www.2geek.net/eMart/index.php?c=21

Not sure if I'll get one, would have to sell a rep first really. Need some decent pictures first too, I hope puretime updates his website soon!

Description and price are up, says full carbon case, price $438....

It does look cool, I wonder if a carbon AP is far away?

I thought you just needed resin, carbon, a male/female mould and could then use the vacuum/pressure bag method? It doesn't sound that expensive or elaborate to me
