I kinda like the looks of the Arctos models, which one of the noob models is more accurate to the Gens? Are the NSEW indices on both models prone to falling off? Which caseback is more accurate....I read Ales review and they both seem on par..just wondering about actual experience...
Thanks again fellas!

I have the 092 and I like it a lot not sure about closet to gen though...but for the price you can't beat either one.

These replicas are no the top of quality, but some dealers get them a very good price and then it is worth the purchase
Just I prefere PAM 092 because the PAM 186 has usually an inaccurate caseback with different decoration engravings

Thanks Ale, as always you are the authority on everything Pam!! I have a 243 Noob and a 177 franken that started out as a sterile Getat (the getat was my first foray into anything Pamish)to which I've added a nice dial. I'm looking for one more Pam to even out my Pam collection...I was thinking of one of the Arctos models but now am thinking maybe a Noob 111 but it's probably too similar to my 177......The prices on the 092 are really attractive!!

Yes price is attractive, but you will forget price in some months

Better buy the best quality possible leaving aside the price

Having PAM 177 better go to PAM 417 KW or better PAM 390 Noob
Very good choice too PAM 088 Noob
If you like Radiomirs KW 388 and 505 are awesome
If you like 1950 case, KW 312 and 359 are very good too
