I have been doing some research on which I want to purchase as my firs Pan rep and its pretty overwhelming. I was wondering if you could let me know whether to look out for V6 or Noob as the better factory. From what I understand for the Pan111 the Noob is the better version, but for other pans it can be v6F. Also I would like help identifying a pan rep which so far has been my favorite but I have no Idea what it is. Here is the watch I am looking for, I would greatly appreciate if you guys could tell me the best version for each!

Looks like you have a PAM 005, PAM 026 & PAM 504 there. Check out ALE's PAM Guide in the Panerai Section and you'll be good to go with regard to makers, versions and best quality available. Good luck!

Awesome I will be sure to check those out thank you! Do you guys have any personal recommendations for some cool custom straps? What is the most popular vendor around here for straps?

There is a whole section of trusted strap makers -- browse their wares and see which one suits your style.

Depends on your budget. I'm all about Simona DiStefano, Malio, SNPR and Greg Stevens. I have a few other makers but they're my staples.

I have lowered my selection down to the Pam111, Pam 292 V6F or the Pam 026 noob. Can someone please chime in and give me opinions on which is apparently the best out of the three?

As first Pam I will personally go with 111 Noob. It is a classic and more versatile then the other 2. Much easier to match it with different type of straps. It look good with both deployant or buckle straps.

Thanks Walker! I will most likely order the 111 with the rubber strap as a I heard it is closest to gen, but I also want to order the watch with a nice strap.
1) Do you know any good dealers that sell stingray straps?
2) I have been browsing the Trusted Strap Dealer section for a while today and it seems only a couple of them run stores. Are you expected to see their inventory based off of what they post within their threads?
