Black Case PAM recommendation

[eudora12]

Hey all,
my first rep purchase from here was a PAM111N more than 4 years ago.
I'm now looking to buy a 2nd PAM, with a black case.
I was looking at the PAM504 ZF but was wondering if anyone had suggestions on a popular well made one.
Thanks for your input

44mm - PAM026K v2, PAM599, PAM360, PAM332, PAM363
47mm - PAM508, PAM607, PAM616
Radiomir - PAM292, PAM613, PAM504, PAM505

Read ALE's guide or search the Panerai section for info on each model and then decide for yourself. Good luck.

I've owned most of the black pams listed in this thread..

the most impressive : Pam 438....the ceramic bracelet takes the watch to a new level
the "1:1" : pam 292J (noob maker)....maybe the best pam rep out there
the best looking : Pam 613...

I've also bought 508,616,026,360 and some pre-v models like 202 and 203

Honestly , I didn't like the 508 and the 616 at all....poorly replicated (in comparison with all the others)
the 026 is fine for a destro
the 360....it's a pity that we don't have a "super rep" of this watch....it would sell like hotcakes



the pre-v models are a different story...if you can find one with premium specs...go for them..they look fabulous...

there's also the PVD edition of the Mille metri....just saying....

This is basically the light to a question that I have been keeping for a very damn long time to myself ...

Thanks for the list

Thanks..

But, honestly, if it wasn't for Ale we wouldn't touch any Panerai rep ..

I always take a look at his guide before I make any move...

I've saved the whole thread in a pdf file so I won't have to load it again and again..

So.. Any credit goes to Ale...

I would follow mysterio's advice and adding the ceramic watches like PAM 508 KW-V6 and PAM 438 KW.
PAM 441 is also a good option, but for some money with PAM 438 you will get almost the same watch and with a fantastic ceramic bracelet

Just like for gen Panerai, if you can get the bracelet version for just a bit more, get that and swap the bracelet out for a nice strap. Anyway, the strap that comes with the 441 although passable, is not the best of straps. And the bracelet is not available for purchase separately as I remember.

That's not quite true

I managed to break the ceramic bracelet and I ordered a new one.

Oh well, it wasn't when I bought the watch. And I did not break my bracelet so that helped. :lol: But I would be surprised if that ceramic bracelet cost less than the 50-60$ it would to buy a rep leather strap plus buckle.

441 with a branded rubber strap.
