Hi all Pam expert. I'm new for the rep world and would like to know more and share more with all the buddies here. As per ALE advise, I should post in this section to maybe getting some answer. My friend was show me that this rep is only cost him about $90. Is really cheap. But after I have read many post and photos about 372, this rep was cloned quite bad. Too many flawless. But the case quality is well finish.

Any idea what type of rep is this?

Happy to hear your review on this

It's not from any of the current releases from any of the factories, I can say that much. The movement is different. There are some exposed gears which is not present even in the superclone P.3000. It looks like an A6497 movement with correct deco plates (unlike the movement that Noob used, it is not a Noob movement by the way, just to be clear) basing on the location of those two gears. Also the placement of the one "jewel" is in the right location (near the P of PANERAI) compared to the others. Case looks like a ZF with the smoothened lug edges, while the lever tip looks like a V6F with the rounded corners. But the OP0000 is an unfortunate tell. New attempt from a still undetermined factory.

It seems like the unknown Factory 372 from my friend have better engraving back case ring compared to my new 372 noob. And the decoration placement of jewel is in the correct location at P. The casing of the unknowns Factory seems to have better finishing then the noob. My personally feel. And the luminor panerai is more yellowish from the noob. Dunno is it better I swap the back casing ring with my friend one. Look better engraved. Any idea?

The brown strap is from noob and the vintage strap is from the unknown Factory
