Most PAMs need some bearing lub, it takes about 30 seconds per snap on caseback. Now they are more quiet than GEN!

The Goldtech plating is very good, however the dial is fantasy. It lacks the GEN sunburst effect and kinda looks more like a mother of pearl dial ( not unlike some of the PAM01280s )
With the crystal caseback the watch is 2mm taller than the steel casebacks.
It’s a very beautiful watch and an eye catcher, but not as per GEN. I’m getting a red leather strap for this.

For those interested, I took a chance to see whether the quick-release straps can be used with this model, and confirm they can, but you are required to obtain the slim spring bar. Part number MXE09JGB, If you ask ever so nicely at your PAM boutique you can get them for free
As you can see the size and length differ from the rep ones, but with a good old wiggle and tug, I'm confident it will not come undone from the case.
Despite the thickness, It's a lovely rep, I went through a couple of QC rounds as the swiss made written either side of the "6" does vary slightly, and I wanted one that was all centralised - ocd is a bad habit to have in this hobby. The rotor does sound like the watch will take off, but I think its a good one to add to the collection.

I hope they release a black or grey one, it's hard to find a nice 22mm rubber strap to go with the 1250. May go with Delugs or Horus but not sure...Panerai on Instagram: "Color your moments with the Luminor Due's blue and white rubber strap options.

I know, the 22mm PAMs are hard to match with a rubber. I use 24mm in the mean time. Might go GEN here.

I've heard of some TDs having an option to buy a P.9000 clone, but not only is that option not guaranteed, the price I last heard was $400, which kind of defeats the point in my opinion.
I found one through a TD, and you're spot on. $388 USD (without shipping) and an undisclosed shipping date. Pass. You can buy the whole watch for that price
