E series movt revisited plus gen-rep compro pics

[jitai]

If you read up more, you'll find that there are 2 versions of the E series movements used for the reps.

The first version had rougher finish on the bridge (engravement is bolder and rougher) and unpolished gear

surface while the second version (which is the best) had tremendous improvement on the finishing on the bridge engravement and even the side of the bridge and the gear surface were also polished like the gen. It is truly one of the best Pam movement ever made. Unfortunately, the E series movement were gone and no longer available.

The E series movement also comes in Swiss or Asian version. However, the Asian version is more accurate.

Easy tell is from the Incabloc anti-shock device (notice the shape of the jewel near the dagger)used on the Asian and Novodiac (flower shaped jewel) on the swiss.

Another way to tell is from the spokes of the balancing wheel. Asian has curvy / flared bottom spokes while the Swiss has straight spokes.

I had a chance to compared it with a gen 113 sometime ago.

Let see how well the rep E series movement score,

113 on the left and 114 on the right

Best of PAM rep movement. The pic do not do justice as it looks very accurate

What do you think?

Hope the rep factory will re-consider bringing these stunning looking movements back again.

Grab it if you can find it. It is hard to come by these days.

Very informative my friend!!!

Thanks!

I'm a bit stupid though (and a bit more sometimes :-) The good one is the one on the left on the second picture, or the right?

I'm comfused. Cheers

Wow, I've never seen that version before - is it engraved, or foil plates? The picture looks great, much more realistic that the other E-series reps (engraved or foil) that I have seen.

Thnx for the comparison!

Still the easiest way too see if it's rep or gen is looking at the end of the groove of the shockaborber.
