Panerai Pam 360 M PA13279

[ayjvee]

Hi,
I'm just about ready to order a Panerai Pam 360 (Brown antiqued strap with gunmetal-type case, black face etc) and wondered if anyone could point me toward some reasonably priced trusted replica companies in order to make a few comparisons? (What a looker of a watch eh?)
I've wondered about a similar model with the small 'second-hand', but a bit concerned about the functionality of it? (Is that a word...'functionality'?)
All advise or comments gratefully received.
Kind regards,
Alec

Who has teh best sub still applies to this right?

Yeah, that's a good point about "Who has the best sub?" What's that all about? I joined this forum a few days ago, and see that comment has, somehow, and for some unknown reason, been allocated to me!!? I gather it's about 'Submariner', and I can't actually say that I am at all keen on Rolex watches as I prefer a 'cleaner' look.
So.... as you've mentioned the 'sub' thingy... how do I get rid of it please?
Ta.

That said......is that what 'Sub' actually means? I really have no idea! Lol

"Who has the best Sub?" is THE most commonly asked question by noobs (beginners) here, and so has been used to denote your level of involvement. As you gain time and posts, the catch-phrase will change to other things indicating your level of experience.
Yes - "Sub" refers to the Rolex Submariner -- the watch everyone wants before they are exposed to the vast world of horology.
As for "who has the best Pam?" - most dealers carry the exact same watches from the same factories. Dealers do not make the watches. Don't get caught up in the hype of "1:1" and "AAA Grade" and "made by dissecting a gen" - that's all marketing BS.
Read and research; scour the member sales section; choose your dealer before you choose your watch (when you understand what that means, then you're ready to purchase).

That's a superb summary.

Well said. Agree with that 100 percent.

Hi, thanks for your comments.......keep them coming! I'm a great one for learning all I can when I become interested in something (cash-flow permitting) So, Levelmanroger, I'm doing precisely what you suggest and trying to work out all available options prior to purchase. I have to add that I am also a member of a couple of other forums (not watches - but cars) and I have never experienced replies and advice that measure up to either the quantity or in-depth explanations that I've received so far on this one!!
I'm still trying to navigate around this forum (Yes, I'm not the brightest when it comes to directions) and work out what some of the abbreviations mean, but I'll get there!
Thanks again for all the kind comments and remarks to date... even those a little 'tongue-in-cheek'! Lol

Read the Reference Panerai Review Guide so you can learn about PAM reps. For example if you read it, you will find that a similar watch with a seconds subdial is available in rep form in the PAM195.

Learn and enjoy yourself.

The best Pam 360 right now is made by the H factory. Suggest contacting Puretime since I believe he can get hold of both noob and h factory versions. He will push the noob but it case color is way too dark. The H factory has a more gen like case color and is the way to go right now. Possibly in the next few months newer versions may come out that are better.

Thanks

Thanks to everyone for their advice!!
It's a minefield lisn't it?! Lol
I hadn't given a thought to accurate case / dial colours!!
I'm narrowing it down - definitely a Panerai - but which one?
Regards
Alec

If you want a Pam I suggest the noob 111 or the new Kuvarsit Pams.

Many people are recommending you to read the PAM GUIDE.
"Reference PAM REVIEW-GUIDE" - Replica Search, Identification, Evaluation & Selection
http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/reference-pam-review-107365?t=107365
In this GUIDE you will get some Super rep indicating in some of them: "a good candidate for a First PAM replica".

most new to this hobby will settle on the pam111.

Hmmm. Was I drunk last week, or was the PAM360 about $238 on torobravos and trustytime? Did I miss a sale?
