Looking for my first PAM

Forgive me, I am very new to rep watches and to PAMs. I bought my first gen JCL master chronograph Q1522420 - about a year ago it is a master piece and now I am hooked.

I bought rep IWC371480 has issues at sec@6 movement - it is undergoing the 3 jewel fix by Domi. I am hoping it will work great from now on.

I am now ready to get a PAM - but not sure, which to get and from whom.
Want to avoid my experience with IWC 3714. Requirements are as follows:

1. Must keep accurate time
2. Best Mod
3. I want a superlume version - best glow in the dark
4. some other features would be good date or power reserve etc not essential

I was think of this PAM 111N V3 (model PN111M11) from TB. What do you think? and should I go with the platinum plated swiss ETA-6497 or should I stay with the Asian 6497 21600BPH. Is this auto or manual?

Any suggest, view and experience welcome...

Good choice for first pam. This is a very good model. I would just get the A6497... I've never had issues with it, and its an extremely reliable movement. It is manual wind.

PAM 111 Noob V3 will be a good choice.

Anyway you can check the pam reference guide by Ale as Mysterio said.

The Noob 111 v3 is a great choice. It might take a while before you can get one though, they're selling like hot cakes.
