The latest would be the PAM243M V2 but there have been reports of the subdial having concentric circles not found in the gen. The PAM243L V2 has the correct matte subdial but since it's not the latest, the availability is in question. You should read this thread first:

http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/this-could-best-133001

You should also read the mother of all guides:

As for availability for each particular model, no one has that information except the dealers. Contact the trusted dealers through their websites or through PM. :D

I see. I recall that particular discussion being about the PAM299 but apparently that conclusion has been applied to the PAM243 as well. Thanks for the heads up. Now my PAM243M is once again super rep with no worries. :lol:

Hi friends

The best current version is the PAM 243 Noob V2 without doubts.
My rep PAM 243 is a Noob V2 and it has circles if you see it under the watchsmith lens

Concerning the matter about circles, started in 299 and applied to PAM 243, I should reconsider this matter in PAM 243, since noboby has found a gen PAM 243 with clear circles. Anyway, with the correct thickness of the paint, as usually happens, the circles are almost no noticeable.
As you all now I'm very analytic with watches, but I tought that my PAm 243 had no circles many time, until I observed it under a good light and with a magnifying lens.

You can buy this replica without problems.

To be honest I saw one of older posts on watchuseek forums where a person was selling their 243 which indeed had a shiny sub dial that appeared to have sub centric circles. i didn't save the page but I believe it was an older post from about 8 months ago so ill try to look for it again. As ale mentioned it is hard to tell at first as you really have to catch it at a right angle with sufficient amount of light to see them. As far as I am concerned it is still a super rep.

So this is the reason why deliveries take that long now.
Thanks, didn't know.

We should make a calendar of Chinese holidays :)

Saw a post on it on RG, however like I replied to that particular post, the only times I've seen any dealers make mention of Chinese holidays affecting ordering and deliveries are CNY and Qingming Festival.
