Is 111 dial more accurate than 005/112/000/etc?

I read in some threads about 111's sandwich dial looking too shallow.
Then I also saw in one thread that 005 dial font can be a little bit off (less thick or thicker than gen).

My question is: which base model has the most accurate dial?

I have not seen any rep dial that is perfect. But the ones that comes with the 111N V3, 005N V2.5 are good enough to be considered super rep level. Unless someone comes in with a loupe and compare the gen 111/005 dial with a rep version or is very familiar with the gen PAMs and their dials, I don't think you would be in any danger of getting called out.

Also, we don't compare replicas in terms of just dial accuracy. We assess them in terms of overall replication.

Last 111 without any doubt. I have not see the 112 dial to evaluate. The logo dials have the sausage tick. On gen dials, the lumen is at the level. The Noob 000 dial graphics are wrong (same "infamous 3" problem as 360 dial, wrong fat indexes)

The dial of a replica is never perfect

Anyway, although the sandwich dials seem more complex than sausage ones these last dials are more complicated to be copied due to the lume aplication and height and thickness of the markers.
Therefore the best replication results are nowadays obtained with sandwich dials.

At this moment the last dial of PAM 111 Noob V3 is the best one.
But as said by mysterio the dial is not at all the only thing to see in a replica !!

I think 111 from Noob maybe the best one now. However, I still think the numeral 2 of 12 clock sign is a little bit different from the gen. Say the edge of turning point of gen is very sharp while the rep one is some kind of blunt. Does anybody have the same opinion?

Not at all

I assume you are not talking about the wrong "2" of some dials at the beginning of V3. Already removed and corrected.
