My first EVER TD rep purchase!

[Capt. Obvious]

After more than a month becoming a member I bit the bullet and bought my first rep.
I wanted my rep game to start with a NICE piece rather than a cheapy... so...

...I've JUST pulled the trigger on a KW PAM359!!

So excited I can't wait!! (although I know I will have to).

Awaiting QC pics.

:woot:

Nice, first rep and it is one of the best. Good for you that you take your time to read and research before making your purchase and spend your money wisely.:thumbsup:

 

[Capt. Obvious]

Thank you. Lol, I'm already looking to decide which one my next purchase is!
This hobby is like eating peanuts isn't it?

Congrats mate !

Affordable price, great quality and almost gen like. Who can't resist it? Believe me, your money will be going sooner than you can expect, good luck to your wallet......:cheer:

You will not get disappointed
Together with KW 417 and KW 312 this is one of the best reps in the market (with all their flaws like all reps!) and, although the despective comments from some "members" and some forums, they have an impressive GEN-like feel, as all last KW replicas.
Only owners or people handling these watches can feel this sensation. I don’t understand how people can deny that feel without seeing these watches !!!

First time I see the KW 417 I was attracted by a special feeling. All my workmates, who are very familiarized with all replicas (by my instruction..LOL), were also impressed when saw the just arrived KW 417.
My wife and daughters said I had bought, at last, a “different†Panerai
Some of my friends, who didn’t like replicas, have bought a KW 417 due to special feel. And they want to do the same with KW 312. I have not received yet my PAM 359, I have seen only a sample and a have a lot of info and pics from other members.
I have repeated many times that. It is not an accuracy matter it is a GEN like sensation!!
If many people do not want to see it, too bad for them
Sorry for them, they will not be able to enjoy these wonderful watches

Ale,
Thanks for all your great work on Pams. Fantastic IMO.

Agree with you on the KW stuff. My wife has a gen 312 and I have to say when compared the KW stands up very well indeed. Only thing that caught my eye immediately was the slight tabacco brownish hue of the dial (not quite 351 colour but heading that way if you know what I mean).

Make sure you DON'T share your QC pics with us.

Many thanks for your encouraging words
I'm always trying to help and to transmit my own experiences

Maybe there are differences between batches in rep and even in gen.

Yesterday I was with a friend in a AD PANERAI show in Madrid. Seeing a PAM 312 (gen obviously) my friend says that the PAM 312 dial was not completely black and he was comparing it with the gen PAM 351 dial which was near the gen PAM 312.
Of course the PAM 351 dial was much more Brown, but the PAM 312 was not completely black (I must admit it).
I had my KW 312 (in my pocket of course) and I was able to compare them discretely and they were exactly. But not only dial, even the movement although a worse finish of surface was almost identical in general look.
Just for your info.
Maybe Panerai makes changes with years, indeed the caseback is now brushed instead of polished. Gen 312 showed was O-series like the KW.

I'm inquiring with Ryan about the KW 359 at the moment, ALE I know you've said KW's have a Gen like feeling but made it sound like they still have flaws, what flaws are you speaking of?
