As you know I'm considering to introduce more information about DSN PAM reps in my Thread Review Guide PAM.

I have already contacted David and I'm waiting for some informations from him.

But I would need to have your opinions about some DSN reps.

There are two interesting groups.

Exclusive reps. from DSN-
027 A - B
028 A - B -C
057 C
004
009
002 A
023 A
022 B
091 E
040
As far as I know these reps are exclusive DSN and we need information about their quality (Super- First- Good/Medium- Bad)

Other reps from DSN classified Good/Medium or BAD in other dealers:
001 A - B
086 D
164 I
229 H
024 A - B
082 (we have already information from Boudart)
We would need information about these reps in order to upgrade the current classification due to the quality of DSN reps.

Please, let's know if you have some information about these DSN reps.

Thanks in advance
ALE


Nice.
Davidsen has historically been a reference in the Rep Pam business.

Ale,

Great post, please continue updating.

Not a sticky? Strange.

Thanks friends for your kind and encouraging comments

Really this is not the real job: the final Review GUIDE of PAm reps
I have stopped the launching because I would like to consider properly the PAM reps from DSN following suggestions and indications from Boudart, who is now helping me and searching for information about this subject. I myself have contacted David from DSN to get more information.
This is the reason to not have yet published the final Guide.
I hope to have all ready for the end of May.
Be patient, please...LOL

Other than the incorrect He valve that has slightly raised letters instead of slightly indented letters and the black bezel markers not going all the way to the saphire, the Noob 194 is a VERY good replica Ale. ;)

Hi Frigpig
Many thanks for your useful comments about PAM 194
As you know I had classified this replica as Good to medium grade replica.
Do you think that despite the flaws we could consider it as a First Class one ??
I will indicate the Flaws in my future GUIDE
THANKS again
ALE

PLEASE READ MY NEXT POST !!!!!

@Frigpig

Hi friend
I think I have had some mistake about this matter in my last post.
Actually the information I have about the PAM 194 is that this replica is with case made of SS and the gen is made of Titanium. In that case I cannot consider it a First Class rep. Isn't it?
I think that I don't know the Noob version please send me the links to evaluate it.
Many thanks
ALE

Work to do.... Think that the new Noob ultimates should be on the list. Agus has posted them recently: pam104 and pam164 (personal favourite with the brushed cage and the shiny bezel and cg).

It appears you are correct! All this time I loved my watch and now I don't. :( I thought for sure there was a stainless issue of this watch as a gen but can't find anything on the matter on the Internet.

I, personally would downgrade this rep to poor........

Sorry frigpig, that was not my intention !!!
I'm very sorry.
But no worries... your watch is an awesome piece and beautiful.
Anyone will realize the difference.. or few people...Only you by the weight !! LOL
Really is a good rep with different material. It is not First Clas for that but it is not a bad replica.

I had the evaluation: Good - Medium grade replica

ENJOY IT PLEASE !!!
Regards
ALE

Nothing on you Ale! I really appreciate the time you put into this thread. This is one of the most valuable threads on any rep forum. Thanks for the effort. I still like my watch. In fact, I think I'm going to waterproof it good, buy a 26mm Kevlar strap from Puretime and make it my full time diving watch. ;)

What a relief my friend !!
Good idea to improve it to full time diving watch, in this case that makes sense better than other modds.

Concerning the Thread I'm looking forward to finish the final PAM GUIDE in order to pubish it asap. But I'm a little later due to DSN PAM reps study and the possible Excel Table. :facepalm::facepalm:

DSN changes his models very often so that will be quite difficult. Alot of his reps are stellar.
