PAM Boutique Special Editions - Most gen-like backcase engraving?

[Vintage Lover]

Hello fellow watchgeeks,

As the title indicates. Is there anybody here that knows which of the KW/V6F PAM models - (411, 415,416,556,464,593) has the most close to gen / most detailed backcase engraving?

I've read ALE's detailed review and comparison about the model but there is no in depth details regarding this topic. He and most other people pretty much say most of them are quite decent.

I have googled and compared some of the gen casebacks to the rep and not all seems to be of the same quality (close to gen-like / high quality details)

The Firenze model 411 speaks to me the most, but does not seem to be as accurate and well defined as for instance the New York version (rep compared to gen)

Any thoughts or inputs will be much appreciated.

Thank you all in advance.

Cheers!

UPDATE!

I've done some more research and as some of the rep veterans here (including ALE) on the forum and other forums have mentioned, the details and overall quality of the engravings are quite decent no matter what model you choose.
The 411 "Firenze" seemed to my eyes not to be as close as some of the others, but with some more searching around I can see a lot of it has to do with the lightning and editing of the pictures it self and not so much the engraving. Another thing to have in mind, is that the pictures often are high resolution macro pics! IRL the engraving to your eye might seem pretty good and acceptable.

As mentioned before the 411 "Firenze" speaks to me the most and I think it suits the Italian history of Panerai perfectly. Therefor I have decided to go with the PAM 411 "FIrenze" model ^^

Cheers and have a great day everybody

I have the "Munich Edition" - in my opinion it is a complicated one with a lot of details, but I think it is very close to the gen compared to the pics I have seen. Only the engraving could be a little bit "deeper" that´s all...
It is a fantastic rep...

Okay good to know! The only thing that bugs me a bit is the wrong movement design and the slightly off dial color. It's a bit OCD since the case is a closed back and and nobody would tell regarding the color without a direct gen comparison. But still... I'm sure there is some folks that can relate to what i say hehe...

The movement is not the same as the OPII movement used in the gen, I'll give you that but the dial color of the KW version is very nicely matte and very gen-like compared to the H-factory release. Some might relate to your OCD, but the price easily overcomes most nitpickers.
