Hello to forum members and Recommendation on my next PAM

[whoknows]

First, hello to all members of RWI and especially the PAM forum. I have really enjoyed my time here reading the comments and researching the wealth of knowledge on RWI. Also, a special thanks to ALE7575 for his work compiling the reference guide to PAM's I found this information interesting and quite helpful.

A little history on my experience with REP's, I purchased some fake Rolex's from street vendors in China while I was there on vacation. The watches I purchased from the street vendors were horrible, anyone with the least bit of knowledge about GEN's would immediately know these watches were fakes. To say the least, I had written off any REP's as inferior to the cheapest Timex at Walmart and a waste of money.

To be honest, I had never heard of Panerai watches until I found RWI. After doing some research on the dealers and REP's available thru the TD's here on RWI I ordered a couple of watches from Stan at WBK Time. I was blown away with the quality and cost of the watches I purchased from WBK.

Once my comfort level improved I ordered a PAM 162F from TORO. WOW, I know this is not one of the super Rep's but am I a happy camper. The 162 is my favorite watch (for the moment) and gets a lot of wrist time now.

So, my question is which dealer and model has the best value for the money that has the power reserve and date function in a PAM?

Regards,
Ben

Hi friend
Welcome to RWI from Spain

Yes PAM 162 is not a Super replica due to accuracy, but IMO is the nicest Daylight and one of nicest PAM chronos. You can enjoy your watch for many years

Regarding Power Reserve, the only solution in quality reps are DSN, models 028 and 057 are very nice and well build. they are expensive but they are fitted with a Swiss movement woth PR Soprod module like gen. They are to only reliable PR at this moment
Read PAm GUIDE for more info

Of course, they are not as accurate as new generation from KW, Hmaker or Noob, but surely they are as accurate or more as you loved PAM 162.

You will have to get them form Davidsen DSN

There is no choice, DSN 0128 and 057 are fitted with Swiss 2829 with Soprod module, no another option
This movement is expensive, and due to that these replicas are very expensive too
But are very reliable, like a gen
