I'm not a Pam expert like some of this sub-forum residents. I can only give an overview of what I think is good and bad about this rep. I'm not comparing to gen, just looking at the rep on its own.
1: Dial to me is pretty flawless. Text is crisp and raised, cut outs for the sandwich dial are very nice as well, lume is very good.
2: Hands are excellent, normally something that really bugs me about reps is the edges of the hands looking rough or too sharp. These are really nice. Lume well applied, minute hand flush with the polished canon pinion.
3: Date is centered in the window, printing is slightly glossy on a matt black background. A little bit sunken against the dial but not as bad as the 7750's with sunken dates.
4: I can't find a single flaw with the case at all. All the text is crisp and correct as far as I can see. The crown tube is well machined and the crown itself is awesome. Screws in and out without issue. I can't see this stripping any time soon. I was very lucky in that my lug bar screws all came out without too much bother. I used the largest screwdriver in my set (red) and it was exactly the same width as the screw head. This helps avoid stripping the head of the screw and reduces any damage. Changing the strap was pretty quick and easy.
5: I normally avoid most open caseback watches but I really like this new P.9000 clone. All the engraving looks really well done, there's no smudges in the paint fill and generally it looks really good.
Overall score: 9/10. The only bad things I can complain about this rep is the slight rotor noise as others have mentioned and of course the movement is never going to be exactly like the gen. Other than that it's awesome!
Strap is the 26/22mm XL Ostrich from Panatime and is properly nice. Rep strap is usual garbage in comparison. I just swapped over the buckle

I hope I'll have luck too for the lug screws
