Hi everyone!
Does someone know which are the best reps with SS bracelet ?
Can also the SS bracelet be mounted on any model ? (and if yes, where can I obtain one?)

Thanks!

PAM297, PAM299 are the current best reps with bracelet in terms of accuracy. There hasn't been a PAM328 released by the VSF factory yet (and I don't have either a VSF PAM312 or PAM1312 to test the bracelet intechangeability theory). If the PAM329 is indeed available as @besnik stated, if that's the style you prefer then go for it. Again, this model, like the PAM351, PAM320 have not been released in the latest version with the new movement having the balance wheel @7.

Thank you for the answers. Could place an SS Bracelet over other models be an option ? Maybe a lovely mixing can come out!

Short answer is no. Only bracelet ive ever had that fits most watches (1950 case, not luminor case) is the gen. All the reps (1950 case) have pretty poor SEL fitment. Thats even on the watch they come on let alone a secondary one. KW lugs look the worse as they are slightly longer. One challenge is the end links are too nartow (gen are much broader). The recent ZF ones (328 and 329) use link pins which are too narrow which makes the bracelet feel quite bad when compared to gen.

The 299 isnt bad if you are ok with classic luminor case.

I bought a franken Pam196 daylight that comes with a SS. It was still in the building process.... My question is if it is the original band as in gen 196? Coz I don't see you mentioned it above

Have you searched for the PAM196 in the internet? The gen is not sold with a bracelet as far as I can tell. All the pictures with SS bracelets are of the rep. Not saying a bracelet couldn't be used with the PAM196, just that there are almost no pictures of the gen using it in the wild.

good to know, I checked them out from chrono24. I do have a rubber and leather band. But I can confirm that a SS fits the 196.

I have a 299 and love it. Great with a bracelet or the gen black strap I have on it right now.

Typically PAMs that come with the bracelet really look nice with the steel bracelet (or titanium, titanium/steel). Looking good with leather straps comes with the PAM territory. :)

Any idea where I can a PAM with Stainless steel bracelet?

Well best thing to do would be to ask the TDs (Trusted Dealers). The models in your username would be good candidates. :)
PAM don't make SS bracelet anymore, beside 723 and 724. And most people prefer leather. Hard to find Reps with SS bracelet. Plus it is cheaper for them not to make them.
