Help Me Update the SUPER REP list!

[Omagad]

Hey guys,

I created the https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...er-reps-nwbigs topic as you probably know.

I need your help to update the PAM section. It is based on the originale ALE's guide but I couldn't follow most discussion about Panerai.

So, my request is simple, if you see a NWBIG watch that is missing in the list, please do the following:

Post an answer containing infos like this.

1. Model XXX
2. Factory YYY
3. Source

For example:

1. PAM 909
2. WTFactory V3
3. Link to an actual discussion (involving PAM experts) that confirm it's a Super Rep/First Class.


I would be really grateful if you can help me complete and update the list!

Thank you so much. <3

id say its a super rep - the only flaw is the G on the crown guard

Well if you are so picky you can see much more things wrong in those pics such as wrong chamfers on top and bottom of the CG, wrong finishing on the CG pin, too rounded and too high bezel pips, smaller chamfering on the bezel with worse polishing, too rounded pearl rim, minute markers on bezel not crisp enough...

These are so small details though. Not a deal breaker for a rep that costs 1/100 of the gen imho.

Super rep atleast from my own behalf but definitely first class. They fixed the movement its all blacked out.

haha yea - I am under the impression that the VSF PAM 382 V2 is basically the same model as the V1, but with an upgraded movement. Do you have new info regarding the V2?

That's not the place to talk about it, please talk in the consensual list topic.

That YouTube video is discussing the PAM441 not the PAM438.

I'm allowing this thread for now but any discussion of any other brand and I am locking this down and you can go discuss it in the general discussion section.

Well in that video he shows 441 v2 if i recall correctly the first VSF 438 used 7750. VSF 438 V1 used custom movement that had some parts blacked out but had all the gen functions. VSF 438 V2 has completely blacked out movement and has the same movement as 438 V1 and 441 just PVD coated thats all. Its stable and never gave any issues. Keeps the time really good i have it more than a year.

Thank you! So the PAM438 is a Super Rep?

Yeah if 441 is listed as Super Rep then VSF V2 should be counted as one atleast from my own behalf.

Thank you, adding to the list.

I'm about to embark on a search journey for the v2 438 but i want to know first if the power reserve indicator is functional or faux. Woul highly appreciate any insight regarding it

Thanks bud!

If i recall coreectly it is faux. I dont use power reserve on that one because it is dumb to check your movement for the reserve. Bad design atleast from my own behalf. Other than that its perfect and sexy watch 10/10 would buy it again.
