I've been considering this watch for some time now and I finally pulled the trigger on the version from Josh at Perfect Clones.
This version is supposed to have better quick release buttons and sharper cut outs on the numbers.
All I know is I am really pleased I finally bought it.
Here are a couple of pics.

A little review would be very appreciated !

Thanks again

I had the V1 and sold it because of the crystal/lume issues compared to the V1 312 which I regret selling....!

issues with v1 was the crystal was so reflective it was like looking into a mirror and the dial numbers too close to the dial rim. dial rim was also too thick. v2 solved the dial/dial rim issues but crystal still too reflective. v3 to me is a letdown.....return to the v1 issues along with too thin date font. ill wait for a noob version.

Arabic markers closer to dial's edge

As you surely know, all rep versions of PAM 359 have the arabic markers closer to the dial's edge. That is due to A7750 movement, which has a little bigger distance from the center to the pin of subdial @9 than the Panerai Manifattura P.9000 ("B" distance in below pic). That displaces the d¡al numeral markers more close to the edge of the dial.
The difference is small and few noticeable and it is about 1mm in diameter ("A" distance in the pic)

this should be the v2, the lume strength should be the same as the needles on this version. movement is 21600bph
the v4 is from a different maker, the numerals have stronger lume, and the numerals are closer to the edge of the dial, also the movement is high beat 28800bph on v4.

Lume is strong on the v4, 28800bph but the AR isn't too good.

Mine sent for Modding - Superlume and AR - as soon as received.

Lovely watch though.
