I believe the 243 is closer a bit.

now H-factory released 243-J series, with T-dials and correct pearl as for this serie.

The pearl is correct as per L-dials; now we have another correct pearl - as for T-dials.

The main flaw of PAM 243 is the polished upper external bezel edge which is narrower in reps. When you know the flaw it is really noticeable.
The main flaw of PAM 364 is the Cannon Pinion which is different from gen (ZFac style although the reop is Noob). Obvious tell if you know it

As commented by Polonus, PAM 243 is a bit close to gen (but just a little bit) mainly because SS watches are usually easier to be copied that a Ti watch.
Anyway the gen like appearance of PAM 364 is really impressive.

If you feel more comfortable with 47mm. Your choice is clear: PAM 364

@ALE7575 Thanks Ale, very informative answer... I got 571 instead, as I like the 12 and 6 digits dial...

Does anyone know where the versioning discrepancy comes from between the PAM 243M H-fac V2 and V3? Most of the TD sites show the latest as V2, but Toro's site has it as V3 ... of course they also list it as a 47mm so the version could be a typo as well. Am I correct in assuming this is a versioning discrepancy or did H-fac update the 243M recently?

47mm is a catalogue mistake. PAM 243 is always 44mm

Last H maker PAM 243 are always the same, whatever is the name you give to the version V2, V3...

Are there any other newer PAM reps that have earned super rep status but aren't in the PAM Review Guide yet?

Most likely
But there are more 50 new reps or versions that are not yet in PAM GUIDE and we have not yet the necessary info

That strap goes sooooo well with the 243, Polonus! I saw your sales thread and had to kick myself for not having the chance to grab it. Unfortunately I already have a 389 on the way. I hope I'll be happy enough for that, or else...

Anyway, awesome review and thanks so much to all PC Team for the amazing work and contribution. Happy New Year!
