Luminor Marina 1950 3 Day Auto (PAM1351) - Thoughts on ZF Version?

[craiguk]

Hi Panerai experts!

I'm thinking of getting my first Panerai and really like the look of the PAM1351 by ZF. Here is a PureTime link.

I don't have large wrists (fractionally under 7 in) so would prefer to start with a 44mm version but love the look of this watch. I've searched the forum but couldn't find anything about this particular watch. Does anyone have it and, if so, are you pleased? Good choice for a first Panerai?

Thanks guys!

Craig

7in is fine to carry most pam models.
Go for a test run and try a gen at your local AD or watch store if you're concerned.
Decent choice for first pam rep.

There was a thread when the 1351 was released. A member here talked to Ryan at Intime and Ryan suggested it wasn’t a fantastic rep. It’s pretty ouch hearsay, but I can’t remember who was in touch with him. I think a member in that thread bought it, but can’t be certain. Did you search? It was a thread last year before the forum went down.

Here is the thread: https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...51-new-product

reppy bought it and posted some pics on the thread.

TBH, as I was also interested in this PAM, I went to try it out at the local AD last week and I have to say the rep looks very close, I couldn't detect any difference with all the pics and videos I've seen.

The tobacco colour of the dial was exactly the same as the one on the gen 564 (I had them side by side) which was the same as my rep 564, also from ZF.

The strap was waaaaay different from the rep one though, both in terms of colour and texture.

The watch is large (it's a 44mm 1950 case after all) but wears smaller that its size due to Ti case. My wrist is 6.5 inches for reference and it fit well for a large watch.

Brilliant! Thanks guys. I did search but somehow missed that thread (think I searched PAM351 and "PAM 351"). Newb mistake!!

Will read it now. Thanks again for the thoughts and pointer
