PAM 512 Gen vs Rep Comparison

[Sbybbuser]

I will let the pictures do the talking.
I am not too good with details like font size or font shape.
I will only cover areas that I think can be detected easily (if you hold the watch side by side).
On the wrist, I think the reps nowadays are too good to be seen as rep easily.

Gen is on black gator strap. Rep is on Gunny Calf Strap

LUME COLOR





Lume is darker on the rep.
I was worried that the lume on the hand won't match the lume on the dial on the rep.
But mine has a uniform lume color..

CASE SIZE & SHAPE











The rep case is thicker compared to gen. It is quite a lot. I would say 2mm difference in thickness.
The overall is case is also looks bigger on the rep. I don;t have a clipper with me but it does look that way. (as can be seen in the pic)





The lug shape is also different. The gen has slimmer and longer look compared to rep.


CASEBACK



Movement is upside down.

CROWN GUARD SHAPE

GEN:



REP:



Not really significant difference that I can report.

That's all folks.
Overall, it is a nice rep.
I am used to 44mm pam so this one somehow feels small.
But if I compare it to a Rolex watch, it actually almost the same size as a Rolex Submariner (the pam is slightly larger).
Hopefully it helps.

Awesome, thanks for the comparison.  As expected the movement is the dead giveaway.

Fantastic review, thanks for putting this together. I think this 512 is a fun, nifty little rep for the money. I like mine a lot

Thank you for sharing great comparisons.

Did you do the blue screw mod or is this a V2?

[Sbybbuser]

It arrived like that. I think the latter batch don't have blue screws.

It arrived like that. I think the latter batch don't have blue screws.

 

Latest batch has been modified to silver screws...
