Fantastic photos Del!
The 253 is really a stunning watch.
I've had mine for over a year and it's my favorite PAM.

Wish I knew how to take these kind of shots.

I read there are problems with the chronograph function.
I also read the movement is inaccurate.

Can you give me your experience with this?

thanks in advance!

This thread is not for that matter.
You should start a separete thread for this question.

That said, I tell you that more 95% of replica chronos are fitted with this movement A7750. You will get the same problem than 95% replica chronos owners.

I just spent the last hour trying to find this amazing photoshot, could not remember what the strap was. Should have known it's a SNPR. Nice job, here's a bump so more people will see it.

Would you guys classify this as a super rep?

Almost all the reps, PAM 253 included, are evaluated in PAM GUIDE
PAM 253, with its Flyback movement OP XIX imposible to be replicated nowadays, will not be a Super replica following our current criteria.
Anyway if you read the PAM GUIDE you will get more info about that.
If you can live with this issue the overall construction of this rep is like a Super rep.

Indeed it is awesome. I have one H maker and it is one of my preferred PAMs.

Ale,

Thanks, I have read your superguide, it is awesome by the way. What I meant was cosmetically. I have reviewed a number of pictures and it is amazing how accurate it is. I haven't seen one in RL but how is the crystal?

I would like to thank, Del for his superb photography (Del, you make me want to buy almost every time, you should talk to Panerai, their marketing doesn't do that !) and ALE for his unsurpassed knowledge and both for sharing.

When I buy I want to know what I am buying in terms of actual aesthetics and product quality. You guys are five stars to me :notworthy:

Cosmetically the 253 I got has every face finished to gen like perfection, there's no way to achieve more perfect angles, cuts, straight lines and uniform finish.
I don't know about others, but mine beats by a long shot the 243, AP Diver, 111 and other super reps I have in terms of finish quality, can't get it any better than this. the movement is also among the nicest decorated movements in a rep. Of course as with any rep this might not be consistent with all of them.

Does PC sell the H maker version? It gives you an option for a sapphire crystal. Is that really available? I thought mineral was the only option.

Wow Del those are crisp and nice pictures!

Pictures sell, if every TD took the time to do pics like this I have doubt they would sell a lot more! Hmm this could be my 3rd PAM :hehehe:

Did anybody notice that the movement reads as 31? Isn't it supposed to be 30 JEWELS CAL. OPXIX?
