Pam 8 Days
- Thread starter TheDonSL
- Start date
I'd be happy with just 192 hours PR (which is what an 8 days movement can achieve). But 8 more hours wouldn't hurt I suppose.

Some comments about gen-reps PAM 8 days series
Movement
Maybe it will be a movement based in the same as clone P.3000
Case-set
As already commented in PAM GUIDE (PAM 510 and 511) the gen 8 days case-set is different from "old" Luminor 44mm. case-sets
Due to P.5000 movement is thinner than Unitas 6497-2, this lower thickness allows a thinner watch.
Gen 8 days series case-sets are a bit thinner than "old" Luminor 44mm.
BOTTOM GEN PAM 510 - TOP GEN PAM 111
Bezel seems a bit different too. it seems to have a wider vertical side and a sharper transition edge between vertical and inclined surface
Lug obviously will be thinner too and seem start more detached form cushion shape edge.
LEFT GEN PAM 510 - RIGHT GEN PAM 111
Above mentioned differences are not very noticeable, even in person and side by side IF you DON'T KNOW about the differences.
Indeed I worn and played with gen PAM 510 and 511 the first time in last October and I didn't realize the differences (I was conditioned because I though they were the same and I didn't search differences)
Crystal bevelled almost disappear because new crystal is almost flush with the bezel edge

Interesting matter and waiting for the new reps to see the new evolution

Following Klockis observations in RG, pics are showing deeper dial, as you say maybe optical effect from a different crystal, but the difference is noticeable on pics
This difference actually is possible since P.5000 movement is thinner than 6497
I have also seen that rehaut in 8 days PAMs has conical shape whereas ol Luminor have cylindrical or almost cylindrical shape
I have seen too that edges of the CG seem more rounded

I think the factories should have great interest in repping this case, all most recent gens share it.
For the makers this would mean having a whole new line of Panerais that only need a change of dial and caseback to be released.
And a lot of new PAMs for us to buy

I cannot agree more
Really interesting and a lot of business to be created
