I am interested in getting the opinions of others with more experience than me regarding what they regard as the best PAM mechanical rep in the market currently. I am looking for a watch that is a super rep, basic watch face (no date) with or without seconds, a watch that has a movement that keeps good time and has a decent reserve. Would prefer a brushed finish versus polished since the brushed finish seems to resist desk bumps better. Nice cowhide leather band. Prefer the locking lever crown to just a plain crown. What is the best out there at the moment? Thank you in advance for your opinions and input!

I suggest you read this section and especially the PAM guide: http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/reference-pam-review-107365 as "best" is subjective depending on what you consider most important. All the top PAMs are very very good but none are perfect.
Ummmm, the 111n v3 is what you've described minus the brushed finish, but it's easy to polish with some cape cod if you scratch the 111. I personnally prefer a polished pam over brushed!
Thanks. I have been through that thread, which is about one of the best blog threads I think I have ever seen. Amazing amount of material and detail in that thread. I was really just looking for the opinions of folks. As I went through the material on that thread earlier several jumped out at me, PAM112 (M Series), PAM176 and PAM127 (Latest Generation Noob). That said, I was curious what the views and opinions of others were.
Now if you're going to ask about specific PAMs, then that would infinitely be an easier discussion. 
All three are super replica level, but the PAM127 is going to be scarce from the TDs, your best bet would be member to member sales, which from the looks of things, you seem to have gotten the hang of.

Good advice. Decided to go with the vintage 6152/1 built by black_shark advertised in the M2M section. Looks like a beautiful watch and black_shark gets high marks on his builds. Plus I know I will be getting a watch that has been gone over and is working like a champ. Will also have something that is a little different from the run of the mill.
Good call
You can't go wrong with a black shark's watch...
