Wonder how close they will have the movement? I like and would buy if they can get the movement right!
Well the 'lab ID and panerai' logos are actually etched into the glass and not on the dial itself. Won't be that easy to replicate I think. Additionally, there is a working power reserve on the back

factories had succeeded laser etching on glass in Rolex reps, thus may not be that tough.
working reserve and the semi carbon fiber movement will be a challenge.
all in all, i hope that they can get the "no. of zebra tones" of the carbon correct too.

Well you know how the China factories are with pams, they are probably the most profitable watches short of Rolex that they crank out to the rest of the world outside of our forums.
This will definitely be repped most likely before end of year.

Well it's most likely going to be closer to the middle of the year than end of the year. I think they aren't planning to replicate the movement so that would speed up the process.
But tbh, even if they replicate this watch model well, it is the fake of a watch that is 50.000 bucks/€! I don´t think it will be a good and wearable alternative as the standard PAMs are.

I totally agree PAMaholic... but then this is a very cool watch and if they really can pull it off to make a decent rep out of it, I definitely gonna buy. Hmm, would anyone knowing a little bit about PAM's believe that I actually own a LAB-ID? ...for sure not! 
ok seriously who cares if its a $50k watch turned Replica. Ill wear it. In the end no one really cares and if they do care its a rep they are shallow as it gets. Rock that sh!t man!!! Im not a fan of Carbo Tech but this movement is pretty dope and worth buying.
If you're after the movement, then there is a big chance you may not be getting the rep as the factory isn't too keen on doing it (replicating the movement that is). It's unique as it's only usable on the PAM700, so it doesn't make a lot of financial sense to invest in replicating the movement. Of course, we're hoping, present company included, that the factory ditch logic and do their best in replicating it. It's essentially a specially made P.3000 with a PR gauge. We have a superclone P.3000 already, just skeletonize it, put a faux PR on it then DLC the parts.
I saw this at the main site and thought just how much of a work of art it was. I saw the price tag on it, and cried a little. A rep would be awesome.

I suppose the other question will be how close the superclone P.3000 skeletonised. Chris did a teardown of the superclone so there'll be some hints there on how accurate it could be?
Aside from the movement, I think the Vantablack on the dial will be a problem too.
