I have a few pam reps, black seal, daylight and a power reserve (nice watch but not an accurate rep) I have the opportunity to purchase a genuine. Any advice on which gens are the msot difficult to duplicate or a better question is any genuines out there that you really know is a gen.

I get gens often, if you don't buy it off an AD at least have them check it

Best is to get to know the reps of the gen your buying, then you'll be able to tell them apart yourself, also get yourself a good magnifying glass to check all the small details.

On supposed gen pams I always check the cg and how it sits on the case, also look at the movement if possible, theres always a good tell there if you know what to look for.

Is there a price limit? :D

Some of the models I like with no (good) reps: 335, 317, 343.

That being said, I bought a rep 111H, loved it. Eventually became obsessed with flaws and bought a gen 111.

Get the gen that blows you away. Whether a good rep exists or not should be irrelevant to your decision.

+1,000,000!!!!!

If you're worried about inadvertently purchasing a replica, buy the seller, not the watch. GET REFERENCES! Post pictures here, at 'Risti or at WatchUSeek before purchasing - someone will spot it for a rep, if it is actually a fake.

A pam 233! Everything you will ever need, minus the pesky kitchen sink.

Yeah, get one that's hard to rep - you wouldn't want some pesky fake-wearing person to look as good as you for 1/20th the cost...


Oh, wait... what board is this again? ;) :p :lol: lol

Are you worrying about (1) accidentally buying a rep, or (2) people thinking your gen is a rep because it's a replicated model?

The solution to issue #1 is to buy from a trusted source.

If you are worried about issue #2, then you shouldn't be... the odds of bumping into someone who would (1) know and (2) care are very slim. So, just buy the model you like! ;)
