PAM 003 Rep - Should we do it?

[absinth]

Has anyone ever heard of the PAM 003 being repped?

It looks great and has a solid case back:

The dial also looks similar to a 114 with "T SWISS T" instead.

The watch pictured on the left is not a 003, it's a 207/A. The 003 is exactly like the 113, the 003 was A-D series and the 113 started for E series. Just like the

001 became the 111, the 002 became the 112, the 003 became the 113 and the 010 became the 114.

I always thought the 003 was the same as the 113 with a solid back 'D' case and a T SWISS MADE T dial not the L SWISS MADE L dial that the 113 currently has.

Correct me if I am wrong?

Not quite. T dials went away during the early B series for Panerai watches. So a 003D would have a Luminova dial, not tritium. Just like my 002D has a Luminova dial, but A and early B series (most often called "transitional B series" if they still have the T dial) 002 watches would have tritium dials.

Sorry, I misunderstood your first post. I thought you were saying that the watch on the left was a PAM003.

I hope this helps.

Then in theory couldn't you create a near perfect 003D rep by taking a 113 dial and casing it in DSN's 010D case set?

You could get DSN's shiny case with shiny CG/matte lever, D series case back, pop in a 113 dial and you'd have a 003D?

Correct me if I'm wrong?

Can anyone else chime in?

Well, the millesimation numbers and total production numbers would be wrong for a 003, but the series would be right.

My biggest issue with any 113 is that the seconds sub dial needs to be recessed and no one has made a dial like that, yet...
