Hey guys, first post in PAM section, just made an account the other day. I picked this watch up on a vacation before knowing much about PAM's, I just thought it looked cool. Overall, the strap and case are very good quality and everything works well... I just wish Panerai actually starts making this with a black case!!! :D

I do love the size of it and it looks great on my wrist. It actually made me a PAM lover and after being here and reading upI can't wait to get a more legit PAM like the PAM 111N V3 Noob!

Well, as long as you like it. It's not accurate as a rep, though. When they do make an accurate PAM423, then you can get it in a DLCed case because gen owners do that all the time on stainless steel models.

Yeah, I like it. Besides obviously the back of the watch. What is inaccurate from the front? I have a hard time telling.

the case shape is wrong, LP text looks too high up, maybe too big as well. PR indicator is too close to center, and the sec@9 looks too close to center too. The marker to the left of the sec@9 shouldn't exist.

here's an image for you to make the comparison yourself.

The case used is a standard 1950s case, not the Luminor/Radiomir hybrid case that was used on the PAM372 (should have been easy to source as the PAM372 has made the rounds of most makers).

Thanks, man you guys are good! I've seen that pic and you guys pointed out some new stuff I haven't noticed before! Still not seeing the difference between cases with my noob eyes.

Hi friend
You watch is nice, of course.
But we are here talking about reps, about their quality and accuracy
We are looking for reps almost the same as the gen
As you can see this is not your case and you should know that as soon as possible
This is the reason we are talking clear but not rude (don't go wrong)

Read PAM GUIDE to know the State of the Art in PAM reps. They are awesome !! and for reasonable price !!

Thanks Ale! Read many of your threads already, helpful stuff. No offense taken on any posts. Picked this up on a whim without any internet connection to compare to gen or any previous DD. Like the culture here in thefuture all my reps will be as close to gen as I can get!
