Thanks highlydope for starting this game. It was fun (just that?)
I would like to say I had realized the reps and gen, but it wouldn’t be the truth
I only saw the rubber sleeve in the lug bar insertion @5 of PAM 292 and the CG lever tip shape of the PAM 372 (different from some reps), but however, as mysterio says, the CP of the 372 looks really ugly on the pic, even the hands seem to have rounded contours. But not enough details to tell the origin.
Only with that pic and considering the level of the current PAM reps it is almost impossible to get a WISE verdict in few time (maybe even with many time available). Indeed, In my opinion saying this is rep and that is gen is not worth. The most important is to say WHY this is rep and WHY this is gen
Therefore the interest of these games is jut to prove the good level of the reps not the skills of members to detect the rep or gens.
With the new Luminor 44mm cases from H maker and KW-V6Fac and the last Noob case of PAM 390 we will see in the near future a lot of doubts to tell the gen and reps and will be an endless problem. It will be almost impossible from pics to detect the reps.
I would like that members willing to start these “games” try to get quantity and quality of pics enough to get an actually instructive learning with wise opinions
Anyway, thanks again

Go to Ale's Pam guide. You can find it by typing in Pam guide RWI at google do com (forgot to copy the url before replying, my apologies).Well, for me those PAMs all look the same

Then... What are you doing in PAM Section ??
LOL
ALE:smile::smile:
#2 is gen all the rest are reps. I found 1 thing that was the same on 4 and differnt on all the rest. and yes the crown guard is upside down on 2??
Here's the deal - #2 is a 372 and I guarantee its 100% gen, the CG lever is like that by design. 3 & 4 are rep 127's and the CG lever is like that by design as well. 5 is a rep 375 and is basically a ceramic version of the 127 with an inverted CG lever like the 372 - Panarai announced the 375 but never put it into production, I think there's only a couple in existence (if any even exist). #1 is a 292N and is a rep of that standard production model.
The difference I could see and why I went with #2. Of course i know very little atm but simply looked at what i thought was differnt
You were right, just not for the right reasons.
Thats me, right but always wrong HAAA
