Any PAM212 reps you would recommend

[IronTexan]

I have a Noob PAM111 that I adore, but the 212 has always been my favorite Panerai. I have always read to avoid rep chrono's and in the case of the 212 being a flyback chrono, even more so. That said, are there any 212's that are well done, with or without flyback feature, or am I better off sticking with the simple 111 and saving my pennies for a gen 212 down the road

The rep PAM212, when they were still made, was a nice enough rep, except for the lack of a flyback function which on the rep was a chronograph. It's a different watch compared to the PAM111 so if you fancy one, check the M2M section, you might get lucky.

If you like the 212, you need to find a V6F 213 with working rattrapante - warning though, you can find a gen easier than the rep and it won't be cheap (like $700 USD upwards)
