Thanks and yes, other than the CP, I can't find other flaws. It's not that bothersome to look at on the wrist though. Bezel is tight and clicks nicely too, no play unlike the Bronzo. A total winner for me.

One more pic for today.

CASEBACK
Caseback is very well built and is made of solid Titanium nicely finished with strong gen like appearance. This caseback is a good Noob job as usually.
Layout – The caseback layout is almost perfect with very little differences with gen, completely impossible to be detected without enlargement and Photoshop comparison or similar.
Engravings- Are very nice and deep like gen. Fonts are accurate enough to make almost impossible telling the rep.

ALE

From my QC photos the rep case backs says "DIVERS PROFESSIONAL" while gen has it like "DIVER'S PROFESSIONAL". So, You can actually recognize the rep by detecting the lack of apostrophe... No photoshop needed ;)

I found this various different sellers on chrono24 selling for pam364 and apparently "DIVERS PROFESSIONAL" is correct. "DIVER'S PROFESSIONAL" only appear on the pam website which i guess its just not a production model but a photoshop. See actual gen case back pics and links below

Hey all... so the concensus on this is that it is a Super Rep on par with the 243? or close to it? Any other obvious tells outside of the CP and the chamfered edges of the CG since we now have the QC pics avail? I think the CG lever tip looks a little bit different too??

Ryllz, I think we need a few reviews from actual customers with hands on experience before we can start drawing conclusions. The pearl/ bezel triangle still looks a little off to me. I think Kilo's observations about the slope of the angle on the triangle's sides has merit...at least in the macro photos. I am not sure how much it matters in real life. I also agree with Ale's view that the 364 is more consistent with the traditional spirit of Pam divers.

That said, this is a 47mm 1950's case with a big chunky bezel that makes the watch to 21mm thick!!! That's more than 5mm thicker than the 305 and 382 (which a hardly small watches in their own right)!!!!! This is NOT a watch for everyone!!!!! I have tried this watch on at the AD a while ago and it wears as big as the specs suggest. I have 8.3" wrists, but I still felt overwhelmed by the watch. Since it is made out of titanium the weight was fine (just a tad heavier than the 243 as far as I could tell) and it was reasonably comfortable, but don't even dream of trying to wear the 364 with a long sleeve shirt or sweater!!! It's a cuff killer!!

Personally, I will stick with my noob 243 for now. I may give a 305 a shot if Noob or KW ever release a version. The 364 is just too big for my tastes.

Despite the solid caseback, there are some flaws to get Super rep status. Besides, as above commented, we would need more opinions from owners.
If there are no more flaws maybe a First Class rep high level.

ALE

EDITED:
Last QC pics are showing better qualities of this rep than expected, mainly in chamfered corners of CG and CP. Due to that it is possible, if more pics confirm the improvements that we will have got a new Super rep

It's a super rep for me. ;)
Anyway, I'll see if the cp can be modded.
