That's funny, I was strongly considering a PAM 671, but I'm just not happy with the rep. It's close, but not good enough.

Agree. As gorgeous as the blue dial with the bronze case looks, it's not worth buying right now. According to @chris3007 the copper content in the ZF is too high, meaning it will change to a 'reddish' color the more it ages.

Nevertheless, you just tickled my interest to look into bronze watches with blue dial! Just have to find one that's a bit smaller then 47mm :)

I feel like the wishlist in your signature should have an Overseas instead of the Rolex. But nice choices either way!

Could I kindly ask you to just a little educate me on why you would prefer the Overseas over the Rolex?

I was just speaking on the picture in the signature. Because there was an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Nautilus, I felt the third watch there could be the Vacheron Overseas. Because Vacheron is the third part of that holy trinity and the Overseas is a sport watch. Of course the Overseas was not a Gerald Genta design, so it was mainly a joke. :)

That and the fact that I just don't like Rolex much, haha!

Your post and the tonge emoticon were left over and out of place.

I really don't think so, unless you guys have no sense of humor and I highly doubt that.

This thread is about making a great list, a list you can trust. The PAM section is based on your guide because you detailed everything.

If you were telling me "this thing sucks" with no proof, even you, I wouldn't trust your word on that.

Don't get me wrong, I know I can trust your word on that, I know I can trust mysterio's word on that, but this thread is about a demanding strict and accurate method of selection. It's simply being pragmatic. There is no reason for me to take anyone's word on anything, even if the guy is Rolex CEO, I'll just ask for a solid review with valid arguments.

Nobody will be "superior" to anyone here. This is called "CONSENSUAL" because it's a list people can only agree with. Therefore, the same rule applies to anyone. If you want to change something, it's not sufficient to say "add this" or "remove that". It simply ain't.

Now, in the other hand, of course I value your opinion and knowledge, so do I with mysterio's. This is more about making this thread complete and sourced so anyone can find in the thread the reason why one or another rep is or isn't in the list.

That's why I need you, or mysterio, or anyone to do that same simple thing : give an argument, explain things, give sources, reviews, etc. This is the whole point of that thread, something sourced and consensual, something everyone can trust. If I start taking the word of any specialist on their favorite brand, this becomes a arbitrary list and not a consensualy community builded list based on serious and valid arguments.

I hope you understand that. No favoritism here, everybody at the same level. This has absolutely nothing to do with your or mysterio, it's just the rule and as a Moderator, you know rules apply to everybody otherwise they are not rules.

So, I will update the list right now after I'll do some research, but I'm sorry, this will always be the case.

@mysterio if you feel like I disrespected you with my tongue emoticon, I'm sorry, it was just my way to tell you "come on, I know you can give me a few sources" understand that even if Einstein came and explained me something about physics and tell me it's true, I'd ask for the equation and not take his word on it. That's the same thing, it's not that I don't trust Einstein's word (he is one of my idols), just that I have too much respect for him and his work to show a lack of judgement. I'm pretty sure that you @mysterio and you @ALE7575 have enough experience to tell me in a few sentences what is wrong with a rep and how I can check it instead of just telling me to remove one or add another. I'm also sure that you guys would be the first to tell people "don't take anyone's word on a rep, do your research and understand why they tell this or that".

Thanks for your consideration. :)

LOL ... that was dense of me, of course the holy trinity (with Breguet lurking on the side) ... thanks, you made my day :)

@Omagad ; @mysterio

Thanks Omagad for your prompt reply and accepted your apologies
I understand your position and you are the responsible of this thread and, somehow, you establish the "rules" on it
Anyway for many reps, mainly for old or bad ones, you will not get a review and you will have to accept the criteria form the specialists. With this kind of reps it is no worth to spend time making a true review and nobody will be willing to do it.

This is the case of PAM 117

Your correction is OK

Again, Good luck with your initiative

Thanks mate.

Of course I'll always trust the specialist if no solid review is found. Thanks for support. :)

hey i'm wondering what AP 44mm would make the cut here despite of the dwo flaw of course

i could only see FC,Ceramic,Panda,and LBJ

didn't see the others to be considered as super rep (AP GP and Schumi are not due to the dial flaw ?)

wondering about the JPM and the Ruben Barichello

I think all 44mm APs go under the "Not Worth Buying In Rep" column. Different thread.[emoji12] I tease! I've got most of the ones you mentioned and love them to pieces, but seriously, I don't believe any AP ROO can, given the inherent flaws, pass the standard for a Super Rep out of the box. I mean, that's the highest, most stringent standard we have!
