I hate to do this but I have been reading for the past 2 hours and unless I am just missing it, which is very possible, can someone help me with the current availability of a 441 or 438 and if they are available what V comparisons there may be?

or is this still in the factory works?

Thanks for any input and information .....

I doubt you will see these made mate and if they are it will be from the lesser makers so pretty poor versions...

The better makers wouldnt see a money maker in this for many reasons..

If you saw them making the later 2011 2012 SIHH 47 ss ti stuff then these might possibly follow but right now even the former models are a long long way off :)

+1 The biggest difficulty in replicating these watches is the movement, the Panerai in-house P.9001 (B for the PAM438, just the PVDed version), of which I have not seen even a poor rep of. The case would probably take some time to get right although work on similar cases like that of the rep PAM386 have already started. It would need a gen and a rep side by side to conclusively judge it accurate.

Also the ceramic bracelet on the PAM438 is something new that I would love to see replicated.

I think that PeteM and mysterio are right and it is difficult that maker release soon these models.

But I live in hope of a reaction of makers, because Tuttonero is very demmanded.
The watch caseset can be replicated without problems with the current systems.
The dial can be make like a PAM 359, obviously with the same flaws.
The movement is impossible at this moment, but maybe someone can make a decorated DLC version
It will never be a Super replica, but maybe a border line First Class replica.

I hope...just hope..
