Quick photo comparison of a gen PAM176 and a rep PAM111

Trying out a new macro lens. Click on the images below for the full resolution versions:


Without going to extreme magnification, the movements look incredibly similar.


With regards to the dials, I don't know if the colors are supposed to be the same with these two models or not. But the rep definitely has brighter and yellower numbers on the dial.

Lume can vary from year to year, model to model. The OP print on the movement looks better placed on the rep.

Thanks Kon Peki for this interesting comparison
Movements are really similar, although we can realize some well known differences:
- Incabloc shape
- Lyre spring
- Swan neck spring
- Micrometric screw
- Non brushed gears
- Contours of jewels
- Notches of wheel screws
- Bevelled of wheels
- PANER_AI space on inscription
- CDG decoration on bridges is nicer in gen
Anyway impressive clone movement A6497-2 in the rep PAM 111

We would need to bear in mind gen PAM 176 is H-series, therefore:
- Placement of OFFICINE PANERAI inscription is different, Rep PAM 111 placement is nicer and closer to new series
- Dial inscriptions are more creamy in last series like rep PAM 111
- See the Pre-V type hands in rep like N-series and modern type in gen 176 H-series
