Sounds like the OP just wants to buy a Pam to show off how he can afford one of the hottest models without even bothering to actually find out more abt the watch (gen or rep)
Yes I'd also suggest the Panerai AD.
Not sure if that was intended for me, but if so (Pan is not sold in my city) and hopping on a plane to Toronto to try one on is cost-prohibitive LOL! Personally I like the look of the watch and would like to own one. A high quality rep is OK by me and if I only wear it occasionally so be it. I've settled on the 299 and am ordering one this week.
I'm new to the forum and don't want to offend anyone... I'm a collector and own bout 15 gen watches. The only rep I own is an awful SS Daytona that a friend bought me in HK 3 weeks ago and that spurred my interest and hence I joined 3 forums. Having followed other forums since the dawn of the internet I know people jump on "newbies" who ask redundant questions (been there)
I'm not dripping with IWC's, Aud Pigs or $200K Tourbillions. But I've worn gen subs for 25 years and have other stuff ranging from Citizen Signature to a vintage Pulsar P3. A Tack & Gybe Monaco, Bulova Marine Star a Feri Mosh, a Hamilton Ventura, Hamilton MIB II and even a Fossil Skeleton, a couple Armanis and other odds and sods (Even a tacky Pimp Blue LED - Not shown) Not a lot of pricey stuff but I love 'em all and wear 'em all.
If that "shot" was aimed at me I take no offense but I thought the forum is about people who like watches and have an interest in reps. If not; Apologies, sometimes it's hard to tell who's zoomin' who. Cheers!
