Hi all!
My first post here - thought I'd chime in!
I got my 048 (same watch as the 050, except for the strap) from Trusty a while back and have been using it frequently. Here are my thoughts:
Plus side:
- Very well built. Really has the feel of the original.
- Case + CG + crown very close to the original.
- Runs like a champ. Went a little fast the first week, but since then it's amazingly accurate.
- Will fool ANYONE who hasn't owned the original or deals with PAM's by profession.
Minus side:
- Floppy lever, although the fitting is very nice.
- Lack of AR.
- Date mag a bit weak + date font off (though I personally think the rep font looks better than the bolder original).
- Lack of decent lume.
- If you look closely, you can see tiny "whiteish" edges around the numbers and markers.
Overall a very nice rep! Attaching a picture - but it doesn't do it justice at all. Looks very "flawed" compared to in the flesh.
Does anyone know if anyone sells a fully modded 40mm by the way? Who sells the best out-of-the-box 40mms?
Kind regards,
