Any good 42mm PAM's on the market right now?

[catana1981]

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.

Cheers

I have the rep 904 42mm Due and love it. As others have said it's a little thicker than gen (which I've also tried) but it wears quite slim and I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference on someones wrist unless they took it off and held it sideways for me to see the full side profile. My rep 904 also gets more compliments than my gen PAM's do (go figure). If you're looking for that crown guard look on a classy slimmer watch it's hard to beat the 42mm Due.

That 1042 just peaked my interest. I like my rose gold watches to be smaller, even 40mm would be ok.

The PAM683 is an option, these are still available from the TDs. It's listed as 42mm x 14.5mm, definitely this is thinner than a PAM243.

Besides the crystal that looks distorted from the sides (the gen doesn't have crystal distortion), and the clone P.9010 that is very difficult to adjust the date (same with the gen), this watch is nice and comfy on a small wristed guy like me.

This one is the latest VSF version with clone P.9010.

Hi do you have some images for your 904? This is panerai due 42 mm correct? I'm also looking at it, but can't find any review on the rep.

That puretime link to the 42mm 904 is correct. If you search RWI for PAM 904 you'll find a number of photos. Here's the one I bought which has photos: https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo.../9099223-pam904-box-set-straps-rotor-silenced

btramos What’s the power reserve like on those new 9010 movements? Your watch looks great

I can't say how many days the power reserve is since I haven't timed it but it seems totally adequate just like all of my other reps. If I'm wearing it during the day it stays running indefinitely without any manual winding. I personally don't worry about the power reserve of reps, they've all been fine for me. Definitely not quite as good as my gens but that's to be expected.

Putting my hands on a VSF 904 is my new target. Though, by how much mm is it thicker than the gen ? As far as I remember, it was quite a substantial difference. Look wise, VSF due is amazing !! It’s a pitty that they don’t fix the thickness.. Glad to have your views on that as well as pics if you have some off the shelf

13.5 instead of 10.5 if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Glock3ns]

When I still had mine, I'm pretty sure it measured near 14mm from the middle of the glass to the back

I’m inclined to get the 904 too despite the thickness, 13.5 isn’t terrible for a 42mm watch. It’s just a shame it’s so far off the genuine one.

I REALLY hope they make a 1392 or 2392 though

I had been on the lookout for a good 42mm and came upon this from a DM by one of the TD's. Might as well post it here in case someone else needs the info.

So what's the info precisely?

The marked PAMs are 'good', or the unmarked ones? Are they all released by the same factory?

Defintion of 'good'? Overall (quality) is good? Or the thickness is good, as in close to gen?

The ones marked with a check are currently in stock.

With who?

Got the update from Hont. I'm thinking most TD's will likely be similarly stocked.

Ah, I see. Are they from different factories or are all of them from the same (VSF perhaps?)?

Do you happen to know which one of those 42mm Pam reps have a gen-like or at least gen-similar thickness?

I've been contemplating getting into PAMs for quite a while now, but my wrists can't handle 44mm to 47mm Divers all that well. Also, I can't stand reps that are almost twice as thick as gen.
