Note: I wrote this post for another tread but pasting it here as well.
So here is an update on Noob Pam372. Unfortunately, Noob is not making PAM372 anymore and none of the TD's seems to have it in stock. The only option seems like M2M sales. The four available options TDs have at the moment are Super Clone, ZF, SF, and KW.
I found one from a member and I am very happy with the M2M purchase.
Here is my first impression of Noob PAM372:
First thing I realized is that the engravings "Luminor Panerai" on the dial don't have that dept I keep seeing on online photos. Genuine ones seem to have that shadow effect because of the engraving depth when you take photos or look at the watch from an angle. On the Noob one, it almost seems to be flat and I cannot really tell if it has a depth or not.
Another thing I found needs getting used to is the plexiglass. It had some very small micro scratches that kind of bothered me but I was able to clean that up in 2 minutes with a Cape Cod cloth. A miracle solution for polishing the case as well as getting rid of micro scratches on the plexiglass.
I also own a Genuine Pam112 and I am extremely happy with it. The 44mm size doesn't bother me at all and it goes well with a weekend casual look as well as business casual work environment. However, Pam372 seems to be on the bigger side of watches. If you are interested in it and never tried one I suggest you start with a replica to test it out and see if you like it on your wrist. My first impression is that 47mm needs getting used to and If I purchased the real thing for $9K I would probably be stressed out a bit since every time I look at the mirror I am trying to figure out if it's too big or not. I never experienced this with my Pam112 (It felt like a perfect fit from thr beginning). I am wearing the Pam372 to work today and it kind of seems a tad too big for the occasion (image below).
So far watch keeps great time, its been only couple of days so far but its as accurate as my genuine Pam112.
Overall based on comments Noob version is the closest to Genuine Pam372 in terms of case shape, dial, colors, and the overall front look. This is what people see on your wrist anyways so the movement being incorrect doesn't bother me. As long as you are not taking it off, handing it to a Panerai expert who knows Pam372 inside out and pretend its a genuine watch this shouldn't be a problem.ou are not taking it off, handing it to a Panerai expert who knows Pam372 nside out and pretend like its a genun watchthis shouldnt be a problem.
