Ok, will try that. Is there any danger of scratching the insert? 

Yes, or bending/breaking it.  I'd verify how the bezel + insert is constructed before doing anything.

It's not off by much, but enough that the back play won't fix it. How would I remove the insert? Does the whole bezel have to come off?

I am not sure how this bezel is assembled.  If it is attached using 2 sided tape then you just remove the insert carefully and then reattach.  You can soak the bezel + insert or heat it up to help loosen the glue. 

I am a big Seiko fan but #19 is so true :-)

I agree with most of these but don't get #5.  Is it because you are worried you'll spend more money?

That's the first thing I noticed too, bezel pip seems aligned but the insert numbers are not.  Who are you purchasing from?

Any idea how to get the bezel insert straightened? Do you have to take the bezel off?

How far is yours off?  If it is off by just a little you might be able to get it to align by doing a reverse turn to use what little back play there is in the bezel to help bring it into line.  If not, you need to remove the bezel insert and reinstall with it aligned correctly.

Holy cow!  

If you have "bargain constraints" just go with the latest version with Asian clone ETA and see how like it.  If you like it enough you can then start planning your mods (either on that watch or a new one).

The blue looks amazing. I have a black dial on order.  @rusky: That Donerix strap looks really nice.

Super strap.   Watch looks great, how is the lume?

Can you provide more info on the snowflake?  It looks amazing. 

Looks great.  I am a huge PAM fan (I own a gen) and prefer the non chrono, cleaner dial models.  That one does look pretty awesome though.

I'd start with something more basic from the Luminor Marina Auto 44mm line like the PAM104.  104 is a classic PAM.

This latest version is pretty close to the gen, which makes me seriously consider selling the gen.

This says it all :-)

Bookmarked this one.  Great review, thank you.

Awesome workmanship. 

This guy all week long!

I really like the 300 Co-Ax.  Great retro vibe.

Hope they rep this one...

+1   The only thing that bugs me is the multi-date window.  I know a lot of watches have it but I don't get it.  If today is the 8th I can figure out that tomorrow will be the 9th without the watch showing me.

I am a big fan of aged dials and hands on the right watch.   

Raven makes great watches and the DT is very nice.  A blue dial version is on my wish list but I will have to find it used since Raven doesn't have it on their site anymore.

Nice review and watch.  Thank for the write up.

I want one of these!  Has anyone received one with green pip?  I hope they also come out with the blue dial version.
