Pam 392

I tried the 392 on a few days ago at a local retailer and this is my grail/dream watch. I've always wanted the middle ground between the 40mm (there's never been a good rep of these) and the 44mm (I'm wearing the Noob 111 as I'm typing this) which takes an adjustment from the ~40-42mm watches I wear otherwise.
The 392 is perfect. If there were to be a decent rep of this I would be in for presale.
Can anyone comment on the version posted by OP? Is accuracy going to be in the Canal street category? I'd love to have one of these.

It's not canal street but I wouldn't put it even in first class category. The glaring tells would be the movement with the gen being an in-house P.9000 movement but of course that's on the back where no one else but you would know. The ones that would be visible from the front are: the datewheel font is bad, CG pin looks too big and is not flush to the CG. lever tip is not shaped correctly and the color of the text seems to be white (in some gen photos looks to be more on the brown side like the PAM359).
Yeah, I did a quick gen-rep stock photo comparison and came to the same conclusions that you did. The deal breaker for me is the date wheel (font/size) and the 3 marker size next to it. They're just too far off. And of course the movement.
What I've noticed is that the watches that get the most wrist time in my box are the ones that are closest to gen. I gravitate towards my highest quality reps and I just know I would never wear this.
Hopefully they get a 1:1 at some point, but because of the rare case size that may not happen, I was even surprised to see they made this. It's just a shame they put in the time to make the case, but not match smaller details (story of our hobby).
