Pam 026 - Some info

[rupert37]

Dear all, I have a question for Pam experts.
First time I am posting here, I am not a Panerai guy so sorry for my noobness.
A few years ago a friend of mine bought from Sead this Pam 026:




He is not wearing it since 3 years because it’s not working anymore and he never fixed it.
Recently I saw that the Pam 026 is listed as super rep here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...sion/308081-consensual-list-super-reps-nwbigs
My question is if my friend’s particular watch is the super rep mentioned in the list or if it’s a poor replica.
Basically I’m trying to find out if it worth it taking to a
watch smith for a service or if it’s just better to buy a newer version.
Thanks to anyone will help!

It doesn't have the squared inside edges of the crown guard so that disqualifies it as the V3 from Noob, maybe a V1 but still it's a very good looking watch. Also you can't buy a newer version as Noob stopped making these a few years ago and H-factory no longer exists. I would recommend just having the movement repaired (even a replacement should be inexpensive as it's a common one and you need not bother with any markings as the caseback is closed). I hope that helps.

Repair it. This is a good and rather rare watch, regardless of version and factory. The differences lie in the details, such as the pvd tone, the depth of the sandwich, the shade of the lum, including the internal corners of the CG. For an untrained eye, this is not obvious, and gen is too rare to be caught. I have one from HF and I am pleased with him.
