Why don't choice some 44mm?

Probably because those are simply too large for his taste ?

For the OP, I used to own a rep pam 512, it’s gorgeous and well made ! Not sure whether still available though ...

IMO.. Both 688 GMT and 960 submersible are excellent rep. For 904, in fact its sunburst effect is impressive indeed and very close to gen, but unfortunatly its wrong thickness is too obvious.

I have the radiomir 1940 574, 575 and 677 due. All excellent for going under a cuff, just under 13 mm thick...

Dear hackkakid

Happy New Year !

What factory is your Radiomir 677 ? I am looking for a PAM574 or PAM620 or similar. Thank you !

Cheers

Hoping VSF quickly releases an updated PAM1392 or PAM2392.
Given that the models are now closed back, they really should release that instead of the DUE line where they got all the thickness wrong.

Bumping this thread instead to make a new one.

I was wondering if there's a 42mm alternative to the pam088 or 228? (I really love the look) but I doubt it will fit my wrist, 42 would be perfect.

Any hint would be warm welcome.

Thanks

Good day!

If speaking about an alternative, you mean panerai with gmt function in a 40 or 42mm steel case, then the options may be as follows:

The simplest solution would be Pam688 blue dial with gmt , steel, 42mm.

There were also old, not high quality pam244 models, it is 40mm, but the probability of finding them is not easy.
But, this is the only rep model that has a similar dial design to 088, while being smaller than 44mm.

There was also 42мм, a pam535 at 7750 with gmt, and a nice dial "clou de paris", but that is pretty rare these days.

If 088 or 244, this is primarily a bettarini case for you, then you should look for 40mm, and gmt and dial layout are secondary, these are pam048 and 049, which are also sold out long ago.

Thank you very much for the time you took.

Seems the 42/40mm altervative are way too hard to find i have to test drive a 44mm

Im gonna try to find one at a decent price.

I was about to give a go to the new VSF 088 but after reading the thread there's way too much issue with that release unfortunately.

Maybe H fac model is the good way to go?

You talk about a 244, this model has been repped?

I'm a complete beginner when it comes to Panerai world, sorry =)

244 was made by an n / n factory and had a lot of flaws. This cannot be compared with the quality to which we are accustomed, and it seems, in this regard, she was not so popular as to find her m2m ever.

If you want a similar dial design, the same case shape, that is, not 1950, then provided that you put up with 44mm, then there are many options, besides 088 (N or H is not that important) and 228 you can consider 237 (H only), 089 (H only) , 297 (can be H or N).

All of these models, although they have some differences in dials, markings, case materials and finishes, in general have a common layout and 24 hour GMT.

You can also consider 029/063, but they already have a decidedly different aesthetics.

I am always glad to be useful, good luck in choosing and searching!

They were made by ZF and XF. They are not being produced at the moment. Either M2M, or opt for the 683 with a black ceramic bezel and VSF solid caseback.

Hope they do a PAM2392, that's a 42mm

Theoretically, it's not that hard

It shares the same case as the PAM688, VSF just needs to do the dial, small seconds hand and slap on a solid caseback
