poretl Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hi all, can everybody list their top (or top 2) our of box Pan reps and the source? Best in terms of 'closeness' to the gen. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledmikew Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I too would really like this information. New to the forums but have been reading as much as possible on this and can't seem to find a sub $150 Pam 243 replica that has the same sort of heft to it as the gen (visually). The proportions of case size to bezel always look diminished in the reps and the homages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrboombasteke Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Been away for a few months, but the PAM005K/L and the PAM318s were/are superb OTB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'll say 026 and 288, since those are the two I bought this year. Confirmation bias, or are they just that good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellytots Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 292k - the ceramic case can fool most if you choose to. Not many non-rep geeks can believe the case can be repped. (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 PAM029M for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sul Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Sorry but for who is asking.... search button. I know that you are new here, but please study and read forum at first then ask. You will have lot of useful info in that way- study and read first and ask later. There is lot of good replicas, PAM or no Pam, out there. The all have flaw`s. Not available perfect rep from any dealer. But there IS lot of good replicas. If rest( look) is fine or very fine , still you have crap movement inside, even if it has "swiss one" ( real swill= usually used swiss movement, lifetime unknown) hint: buy a watch with closed case back .

MapsMoney Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 111 noob is good but like everyone said, the open back gives it away easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poretl Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Is this the reason Panerai started making them like that? Because it started getting tougher and tougher to spot the reps otherwise? Or is it for some other reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
