Brief opinions on the current 000 rep

[Om3ga_guy]

Hey guys, I'm about to pull the trigger on a modded noob 000 (Kroexist) DLC rep and was wondering if any of you had some brief comments about the stock 000 noob rep? I have read a few of ALE7575's threads and its looking like its classified as a "super rep."

I was holding off for a 111 V3, but I'm now thinking the 000 and its solid caseback is a better route to go "for me." I'm really liking the DLC look...

I would be consider the "lead" color DLC case from DSN.

I have the SS PAM 000 Noob. I think it is justifiably considered a "super rep." Has the feel of a gen very much from weight, dial detail and case finish. I wear it at the gym and during other physical activity. However, I do not think the 000 is the best logo dial--the best logo dials are the 360/102a etc. type.

I assume you mean 201a and you are talking about rep quality.
If yes, the answer to your question is:
The 000 is one of the best rep logo

The high price and collectible pre-Vendome 5218-201/A, 5218-209/A and PAM 000-005-318-195-360-380-424 are the only available Panerai watches with the legend OP Logo. Some of them have no goog replicas.

The best rep logo are 000-005 and 318

:cheer::cheer:Hi ALE7575, yes, I meant the 201a. (dyslexia?)

Clarification: the dial for the 201a, with just the logo below the CP (with LP above CP)--is, for me, aesthetically more appealing. There is a strange asymmetry to the dial of the PAM 000 if you look at it hard, with Panerai seemingly too close to the center (it is this way on gen as well). Just personal opinion.
As a sum total, you are right, the PAM 000 (and 005) Noob is better than any other logo rep (unless the pre-V rep is being custom built by some obsessed modder :cheer: some of them produce really greast pre-V logos). PAM 000 (005) is extremely impressive. I do not even think of it as a rep.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I ended up pulling the trigger on Kroexist 000 I was eying.

I will post some photos when it gets in. Very excited to get my first Pam!

Here's a gen photo for reference:
