Howdy!
I currently own two GEN's (005 and 372) and am curious of seeing the quality of some of the better reps. I love both the 425 and 449 and was curious why the 425 was more? Are these close to GEN's? Thanks in advance as any insight would be super helpful.

Cheers

Simple really.

The PAM425 you referenced was released in Feb. 2014, the PAM449 is Mar. 2016. The PAM425 is not any better (nor worse) than the PAM449. It was just released when the P,3000 was probably not as cheap as two years after when the PAM449 was released. Anyway, it is entirely possible that the PAM425 might have come down in price already as TDs are not very religious in updating pricing (and probably if you don't ask about the best price, they might quote you the newly launched price from 2014). I hope that provided some insight.

that makes sense. I appreciate the response.

With that said, is there a definitive radiomir that doesn't "need" improvements or rather one that outweighs the others in quality?

Perfect OTB radiomir is 292J and 288k. Other rads are either display case back or wrong case shape

Thanks so much for this! Much appreciated ... bummer. What about the Luminor, which would you consider near perfect OTB?

The cheapest & greatest & still in production is 111 v4.
127 also in production but it is large.

Yes, that's a widely accepted response especially since Noob is still actively producing these watches (along with the PAM005, also a great alternative).
