I see that DSN recently came out with a new version of his 036 (after he revised it last fall).
The case looks pretty good to me but, there was some concern about the spacing of the letters "RE" on the dial-but I don't see it-the dial looks pretty good to me. However,I am relatively new at this, so I could be missing something.
What say our PAM experts? Good rep to buy?
offerings have a pronounced "outline" stamped into the dial around the numerals...
Many folks don't find that a problem....I do....
That, and his pricing of course...!!!!

Hi friends
The new 036 from DSN seems to have the outline corrected and the dial looks very fine. For me it is not a Super rep but it is First Class rep.

You can see below some comments about the PAM 036 and about the rep
PAM 036 from Davidsen (extracted from my future GUIDE of PAM replicas)

The PAM 036
EVALUATION: FIRST CLASS REP from DSN
The gen PAM 036 is a Luminor Marina Militare, with Tritium indexes and a Brown dial in a Titanium case. It was a Limited Edition of 200 watches (read the curious story about the year below). Nowadays is the only Pam with display caseback and movement OPII. This is the 1st Luminor Marina to get the name of Marina Militare by special authorization of the Marina Militare (MM) Italiana.
The PAM 036 is one of the legend Vendome watches, with some few others like the 040, the 021, the Pre-A 1,2,4,9, and the Mare 6, 7 and 8.
When Panerai Firenze was sold to Vendome, in March 1997, the Cartier Vendome group received some stuff from Panerai Firenze, and with the stuff, some projects, like the watches which belonged to the Project Slytech as the Black Seal Slytech. So, Panerai Vendome had the idea to launch three Titanium watches, PAM 025, PAM 040 and PAM 036, which were conceived in the end of Panerai Firenze.
There are two interesting stories about PAM 036 and 040. Below the stiry fro PAM 036:
Strangely enough the PAM 036 is referenced as a Limited Edition from the Year 1998. Well, have a look on the official website, or in the Limited Editions Catalogue, or in Paneristi.com or Panerai Source.com, you always will see it presented in 1998, which is a mistake, as it gets a B production which is the evidence that the watch was launched in 1999, presented during the SIHH of the same year. You will notice that the pic on the official website is also a wrong pic, as the Pam 36 is presented with a Lumniova dial I never saw in any Pam 36, and with a wrong BB number...

The Brown chocolate dial is amazing. The Case Back lets show the beautiful movement obviously inspired from the Rolex Cortebert look.
It has, like the PAM 040, this charism, this part of legitimity and History that many other Panerai Vendome watches don't have... That makes this watch a very desirable item in the original market.
Due to PAM 036 has display caseback the usual conventional reps of this watch have not close to the gen movement, because the gen PAM 036 has a very different movement OPII. See the caseback pics of this replica watch and the pics of any regular replica in the market.
This replica PAM 036 from DSN is a First Class rep with a real Swiss 6497 movement like the gen Panerai OPII and the Tritium type dial T SWISS T.
Therefore, for a Luminor Titanium the best rep choice is this PAM 036 or PAM 040 from DSN or going to PAM 177 or PAM 176 if you are not specifically looking for a Tritium dial

I hope all is more clear now
