The rep thickness is 16.2mm actually, but hey who's measuring 0.3mm difference?
great, i sent an email to TD...
What about the Gen thickness, do you have any ideas, I believe since its using P.9010 it should be a slimmer modelThe rep thickness is 16.2mm actually, but hey who's measuring 0.3mm difference?
Only an educated guess.
Let's use two similar PAMs, the PAM382 and the PAM671. Very similar in every way except the movements used, which is the P.9000 and the P.9010 respectively. Let's presume the movement thickness would be the major factor affecting how thin a P.9010 watch can be from a reference P.9000 watch design, in this case 7.9mm for the P.9000 and 6mm for the P.9010. That gives us a difference of 1.9mm. The PAM382 has been measured at 18mm, therefore the gen would be around 16.1mm thick. I would not expect a 42mm version to be any thinner than that. For example, by comparison the smaller 44mm PAM243, using a 7750 based movement is even thicker at 19mm. So 16.2mm is actually pretty good. Dual lume?
Edit:
NVM Found what it meant. The minute hand and bezel pip should be a different color.
It's interesting, when this model was first announced I saved this press photo below which shows the lume all one color. I see the OP website is now updated with the dual lume color image above. The rep factory must have done their development based on the original press image which OP later changed. As I mentioned before it's not a big deal to me since I actually prefer the aesthetic of one lume color!
If people do question it, just show them the app catalogue image, it's still 1 color lume there haha.
*Edit Oops nevermind updated this week.
I officially placed my order. I'll definitely post up some photos and do a little review when I receive it. Can't wait! :cheese:
For this type of 42mm Pam, what is the lug end measurement for straps? 24mm or 22mm? Anyone knows please?

Actually, for me, I have been thinking about the 677. Now with this 682, it is getting harder to decide. I can't seem to really like Panerai but always think we should all have 1 in the collection.
Let us hear when they reply. If the rep thickness is the same as gen I will pull the trigger on this one

When he said he will send email to TD, it wasn't to confirm the thickness, it was to order.
Oh, my bad. I have tried searching the net on sites where the gens are sold and specs are cited, but thickness is not specified anywhere I have looked

And I doubt it will be posted anywhere anytime soon. Unless someone can visit the AD and measure it if it's available there.
