New to PAM, need an opinion...

[gigi77]

It would be my first PAM, I was looking for a 44mm with clean black dial, so a 000 or 112. Since I prefer the sandwich look and the absence of the symbol, I went for the second.

Locally I found a guy selling this for 150 eur, is it a good PAM112 rep? I spotted the swiss made being "wrongly" set around 6.

The rest seems ok to me... He has no idea what factory is it. If somebody recognize the factory I can do my reading homeworks

Thanks a lot!

It's a canal street cheap rep. Not worth 50 euro... for 150 euro or a little more, you can get a noob v3-4 112.

Thanks!

Damn how I hate beeing a brand noob... how do you see the crappiness in this?
To me it did not look that bad. Except the swiss made issue.

It comes with experience, and before that just comparing with the gen. Let's see. Aside from the LSML inscription on the 6...
1. Crown guard is polished (should be brushed on H-series).
2. Movement has CdG decoration (gen 112 had the grafitti "PANERAIPANERAIPANERAI" decoration)
3. OFFICINE PANERAI is a sticker. (should be engraved)
4. Font on dial is too thick
5. Lume on dial is too thick
6. Font on the caseback is too thick
7. Millesimation is not correct (H-series is 1200, not 2000)

The only good thing on this watch is probably the mid case, but that's about it.
