Here is a pic i took of the Pam 505 at the local Panerai Shop



For me there is a visible difference between Gen Font and Rep Font (Numbers)

Already made the comparison in the review:

FIGURE 1.1.B- DIAL COMPARISON GEN-KW

FIGURE 1.1.C- DIAL COMPARISON GEN-ZFac

Differences will be welcome

Thickness of sandwich dial upper layer deforms a bit the markers depending on lighting angle.
My pics have the same lighting conditions

Thank you for that nice review. It make me buy a Pam505 Rep. It is a verry nice Watch! But i was surprised seeing that difference standing infront of a Gen at my local watchdealer.

The reps have obviously flaws, but the KW dial is almost perfect and Zfac dial really good

Hello. Thanks for this excellent review. I estimate that the Pam00505 is the most successful! I would like to acquire it! I have seen it in 3 different versions. As for the price, I think I will take the V2 from KW but I am hesitating between the movement St2555 and A7750. The price doesn't really matter but I am more interested in its friability(If I can trust it or not). What would you recommend? I have only read goods things about torobravo… I would have to order though the torobravo2015 site?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Bonjour. Merci pour cette excellente revue. J'estime que la Pam00505 est la plus réussie ! Je voudrais l'acquérir! J'ai vu qu'elle existe en 3 versions. Pour une question de prix je pense prendre la V2 de KW mais j'hésite entre le mouvement St2555 et A7750. ce n'est pas vraiment une question de prix mais plutôt de fiabilité. Que me conseillez vous? Je n'ai lu que du bien de torobravo … c'est bien par le site torobravo2015 qu'il faut commander?
Merci d'avance pour vos conseils!

Thanks mon ami

KW PAM 505 is a good choice for a rep.
Decision between A7750 and ST2555 is almost a taste matter. Some people hate A7750 and choose Seagull others prefer seagull directly because they consider ST reliable and cheaper, besides it is more accurate.
My advice considering also the price would be Seagull, but you will not go wrong with A7750.
Anyway you cannot assure the reliability in any rep either Seagull or A7750

Torobravo is one of the best dealers in rep market. Indeed, Toro is my dealer
