Hi to you all. I was sitting here, looking over the QC pics from one of our trusted dealers, once more, suddenly I realise that the timing computer picture, shows beat 21600(!), all I took notice to at first was the excellent +6secs per day and the pics looked ok. Must be a week since I approved them. It is still on hold because my other items had issues on the QC pics, and are not solved yet. I noticed something on QC and complaned, then they tried to fix it and ending up making it worse, in stead of just swapping to another item in stead. One week waiting now, guess none of the items will be here before xmas. The dealer has 3 versions of the PAM359, I was careful and ordered the latest, called Best Edition V2. The oldest one is outdated as stated on the website, and the second is still available (updated), but why should I order something less than the newest edition, right? Wrong(!) - looks like they have swapped to the old, outdated, crap A7750b (low-beat 21600) in the newest edition. It does not state 28800bph on the description, but so does it on the older models. When I carefully examine the dealer pics of the movement, it is also visible that there is different movement of the two. The newest edition has even a lesser decorated movement, than the older version, even the watch has a display caseback, showing the movement in all it's glory. This is like backwards logics to me. You do not upgrade something to a lesser quality grade, or do they in this business? Seems they also have the same crap movement in the PAM351, as much as I can tell out of the pictures, and in all of the series 312, 320, 328, 329 and 359 where they have made a socalled Best Edition V2 (2011). All of the V2 editions seems to have the less favourable low-beat movement, also with worse decoration. I must emphasise, I shall not name names here, but mearly seek advise. Therefore, no name on the dealer, but it is out of our trusted dealers selection, so should be good, normally. Why on earth would they do such a thing? Since I approved QC-pics, I guess I am scr**d, and this was not expected at all. Any advise?
