I don't see any difference in the shade. The finish on the hands is better on the gen though. You can see where the plating on the hands sort of curve at the edges, kinda looks like the hands were stamped out of a sheet of metal then plated with gold. The edges on the rep on the other hand (pun intended :lol: ) are sharper, kinda like the whole sheet was plated and then the hands were stamped out. But this is only upon close inspection and only at certain angles when the light reflects on the edge.

Interesting read! I have got a question do. It seems on the photo's of the rep that the titanium case scratches easy. Is that true?
Titanium scratches easily, yes that is true. The rep will get scratches just as easily as the gen so that is a plus.

Calling for owners of pam351,
Do you feel that the polish of the bezel is a bit bad ?
I see that the polish is not so "totally polished out" like mirror-finish, instead it looks like "plasticky polished finish" with still a little bit hint of grains....
Comment please

It is highly possible that the gen was very carefully handled and remained in storage while the rep was worn as a beater, hence the difference in the appearance of the bezel. It could also be the lighting that exposes the light scratches that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. All in all though, it's nothing a bit of work with cape cod won't fix.

I was talking new vs new oob.
So no "wear issues" involved
Recent owner of a PAM 351.
No problems with the Bezel polish. Very happy with it.

You don't feel the polish of the bezel like a polish from cheap shower from china (textury)? Cause I do feel so ! lol....
If you compare the polish of Toto / other german manufacture shower, sink faucets, and so on with china quality shower and sink faucets, you will know what I mean. One has perfect mirror like polish, other have 'textury' polish...
sorry for my english

Maybe if you want a 351 with a mirror like polish on the bezel, buy the Gen.
Should set you back a couple of thousand dollars US.
Bargain.

What I am asking is a comparison of gen bezel polish with rep bezel polish. How is it different or just the same. I hope anyone with knowledge or ownership of gen can clarify this.
Very nice threat
Thanks for taking the time to write it up !
I take it you Rep is NOT a KW edition as its some months old. correct?
Thanks

Why dont you go with
312 OR 320 from KW?
351 should be lighter also due to use of titanium?
My pam127 has a slighty brownish dial which i dont actually love.

Very interesting read. Thank you for taking the time to do that.
I was just going to mention about the KW.
They've done the 359 and it's frighteningly good.
A huge step forward IMO is the modified 7750 which looks MUCH better than the movement in the 351.
The two watches are basically identical, same case shape and movement, so it should be child's play for KW to release a kickass version.
Maybe with a dial colour closer to gen?
