New DSN 024s

[undercoverz]

Just saw Davidesen has three new Pam 024 models. He mentioned that they now come with new improvements including a new CG, new and matching super lume. From the newly and much better taken photos, I noticed also the case seems to have lugs that are in different shape from the old ones. Can any experts here chime in as to how good these new reps are?

I'm liking the 024D. Would love to hear opinions on it from the PAM experts we have here

That "N" is niced as well. ;-). Never did care for a polished bezel on the 024.

Polished bezel is nice

Lugs looks much improved to me, as well as bezel.
Bezel pips don't look as tall as before and the slope has softer edge than recent kw. I'm not convinced by bezel numbers font.
Looks promising imho.

Looking forward to a 24A comparison thread.

Based on a few gen photos (see below), the major differences are:
- Wrong lettering of "15", "30" and "45" (gen is thinner and better defined);
- Luminous pip of wrong shape (thicker metal surrounding in the gen);
- Metal pips still too raised (but probably improved vs. KW);
- Wrong cannon pinion (finishing and a bit raised);
- Minute markers on the bezel of the D version are a bit shorter and thinner (it seems correct on the N, though);

Thanks for commenting! All very good insights! Much appreciated!

New to PAMs. Was never truly attracted to a Panerai until I saw a Submersible at the local AD. Came home and started looking at 44mm Submersibles in stainless steel for my skinny ~6.5" wrist. Came down to the 243 and 024 but prefer the cleaner look of the 024. Also the fact I can buy these without having to hunt the sales section for a Noob v2 243M. I'm a newb to the rep scene but even I don't think the bezel on the 024 N is doing it any justice. The font looks much thicker, poor consistency and poorer paint application. So how do we think this one fairs with the KW? Bezel, lug shape, hands?

The V6F 024C is, overall, much better than David's 024A. David's CG has interior corners that are too rounded, the V6 factory watch appears to have a CG cut-out that is too big, in general. DSN's dial has white surrounds that are too pronounced on the indices. The metal surround on the pip is too thick on both watches. Hard to tell from pics whether the V6 watch has as good a sub-dial as DSN's. It's definitely recessed, but can't see the glossy, concentric circles, if they're there.

I want a 024A/B/C badly....

CP kills it IMHO

 

[Norrie]

Yeah, CP is a little nipplish.

Which one would be a better option, the DSN 24N or KW's 24R?
