Have a read up on the forum in the panerai section. Lots of info and options for Pam.

Good luck and enjoy

Guess u are trying hard to find an answer and started a few threads on the same question. Get help from Mod to delete duplicate threads. Read the Panerai section. U will get the answer.

At more than 3 years here, although you might be new to PAMs, you should already know by now that most TDs can get any rep that is available. There is the occasional exclusive but those are few and far between. So what's available we won't be able to help you as no one has visibility on what the TDs can sell. Not all TDs have the same stock, so best to contact them one by one.

Now for the first question, which PAM should you get, that is a very subjective question. It's all down to personal taste. If you're willing to do some reading then check the Reference Guide (see my signature for the link) then ask the TDs if they have the model that you like Based on what I've read, only the PAM111, PAM005 and PAM127 are still being produced by Noob among the super reps however stock is not always available so that's where the inquiry to TDs comes in. VSF is the current factory with the newest reps but none of their reps have been classified as super reps. But they're very good reps notwithstanding. Also being new, stock is more likely to be assured. Good luck!

Noob factory is still producing 005 and 127????
I thought they are only producing 111.

I was trying to source a Noob PAM005 about a month ago and contacted a few TD's. All of the TD's told me Noob are no longer making the PAM005 and no word on if they will make again. Even the Noob PAM111 is out of stock at the factory currently.

I thought they are still producing the 005 and the 127 although not as many as the 111. Maybe the stocks of parts has dried up and they cannot make anymore. That's unfortunate. Makes me love my PAM318 even more.

Big fan of the PAM318. I'm surprised it doesn't get more love, should be the easiest Panerai to rep given the undecorated movement

The movement is not undecorated (it is in fact the run of the mill A6497 used in other PAM manual wind reps). The factory would laugh at spending money for something that won't be seen. But the caseback is not plain, it has the Brooklyn Bridge engraved on it. So it exchanges one "non-decorated" part for another decorated part. It's neither more difficult nor easier to make compared to other manual wind PAMs.
