And still you will have a fake watch. So maybe you better save for a gen, or go for one of the rep versions (BP?) , fix the easy fixes and live with the remaining flaws. IMO, it's the best solution.
I received recently PAM 237 from one of the TD's and it got all full of water after I rinsed it for a few seconds when washing hands. So don't put your PAM rep in water before you check it for water resistance or someone do it for you. Even if it comes from the best dealer.
I have a modded WM9 V1 (V2 dial and hands, clark crystal, WM insert etc.) and it is heavier than the gen (compared side by side with a friend who owns a gen sub), because the V1 bracelet is heavier.
Apologize for the quality of the pics. The watch is nice, the DW is not a problem in this black version, imo. The only problem I see is the relatively weak AR compared to other breitling reps like SOSF, BCE and skyland, but the watch is quite impressive overall.
This proves what KB posted: "The closer you get to the point of manufacture the cheaper an item gets". Anyway, as long as you are happy, that's what counts. Enjoy your new reps.
I think you can get the same "quality" in Canal St. for similar prices. I would'nt go to Bali for these watches. You can't compare to the watches the dealers in this forum are selling.
Actually, this is very similar to the new sub with the ceramic bezel which also has maxi dial and hands.But I like my LV sub with green insert. Of course, I have also a black bezel sub.I leave them both as they are.
