How does the latest PAM submersibles stack against the Noob 243?

Is the Noob 243 still the King?

I’ve been looking at this model myself, I’ve been experiencing PAM withdrawals

If we talk about personal preferences, then in my opinion, all the best, panerai have been released for a long time. If you talk about replica accuracy, there are drawbacks everywhere, but I would not replace 243, 064 or 087 with a modern sub, as probably most.

Got it

Not now, but I know them well, that's why I wrote it in this context.

old Panerai Submersibles are much nicer than the recent releases in my humble opinion. For me it is not a matter of overall level of accuracy gen vs rep but it is the overall looks where the old references have the true Panerai DNA and the new ones, well they have something new and modern that I still have to get used to.

If we add to the 243, 087, 064 the 025 and 024 the set is completed (speaking of 44mm PAM SUB models) and you don’t need anything more.

Funny how taste is subjective. I have a pam24 wich I love.
But both of my new VSF 692 and 1616 are nothing short of fantastic reps, that makes me wish for more wrists

Pulled a few subs from the “Pam sock drawer”. Itching for a bronzo run.

It's unbelievable how back in the day all this reps were available with TD's and on the trading boards here and other now gone places. Noob ("Mr Creme de la Creme" as per Angus) gave us this one and the other best ever PAM reps. That's why I asked this question. My 243 and my 201A are the only ones I have left.

Would love to come across a 243 with tritium lume. True grail rep for me.

Here is a photo of my Submersible PAM collection where both “old” models and newer ones meet together (there are a couple models more that were added after taking this photo)
