The name is not entirely clear what you would like to see. Pam156 regatta, or 199, 222? Yacht Challenge 571? Or do you mean flyback or rattrapante chronographs like pam332 or 286? There are also many editions with in-house movements and low quality replicas for which there is no suitable rep movt.

Quite right. There's not just one reference here. Also better to post that in the Wanted section not here.

No, none of these models have been recreated as rep. 526 or 1037 may have low quality reps, but it's better to look at dhgate. All these models are united by the presence of in-house movt., And there are no cheap Chinese counterparts with chronograph buttons on the left side. If there is no suitable movt., If a replica is reproduced, it is usually in low quality. There are few exceptions.

If you are interested in 44mm chronographs in 1950 case, then you have a choice of pam212, 213, 253, 286, 332. All of them are out of sale, but they can be found in m2m, or by posting a WTB post.

They don't function like the gen although they have working chronographs. The grail would be the PAM213 with the working rattrapante function, but one for sale even in M2M are rarer than hen's teeth.

Of course, you're right about everything. I'm just suggesting something closest in form factor that is worth considering before looking for something else for yourself in another brand...

Just clarifying before he expects the rep to work like the gen watch and becomes disappointed when he finds out after buying the watch that the function is not gen-like. ;)
