Once again, I was reminded of my carelessness, and before No. 15 there had to be No. 14 one more model.
Well, so that my mistake does not look so mediocre, I decided to supplement it with another, rather exclusive, not so much a model, but a modification, which I also did not mention, although it was worth it.
So:

PAM282
The main post mentions a model with a PAM283 bracelet, but omits a similar model with a strap, PAM282.
In fact, this is an analogue of PAM070, but with a sunbrust dial and a titanium case, while PAM069 is an earlier analogue of PAM283 with a bracelet.
The same analogy can be made with the PAM119 / PAM120 but they are polished.
It was produced in parallel with the PAM283, for 2 years in K and L series, in small editions of 300 and 500 pieces.

Dial Type: sunbrust
Caliber: OP.III
Year of issue: 2007 -2008

Rep:
As in the case of PAM283, it was not done, in general, for the same reasons. The factories have never been friends with a 40mm rep titanium case, although the model itself is not difficult, especially without a bracelet.

PAM365 00/01/02

Probably, at some point in life, everyone has heard about PAM365, the first PANERAI with the most complex movement of a high class, which has a date, month, a scale of deviation of astronomical time from civil time, an indicator of the time of sunrise and sunset, a tourbillon, and finally, a moving map of the starry sky. under a transparent backcase, along with a PR indicator for 4 days HW.

This is the most complex PAM of 2010, in the limited edition Tribute Galileo Galilei was called Equation of time, in accordance with its most exotic function at the time, which was later also in caliber P.2002 / E in a simpler version on models such as the PAM670. PAM656 and PAM516.

This not a simple movt., Was placed in a 50mm titanium case, making it the largest luminor of the 1950s at the time, but not as critically heavy as if it were made of steel.

It was a model with a high RP of about 220,000, and the circulation was officially 30 pieces, and the production is annual, and the exact number in each year is not known to me.
Since the starry sky and sunrise / sunset are specific to the area, all models were made for a specific buyer, and a specific city of residence, for which its functions were configured, and geographic coordinates are engraved around the caseback circle.

However, few people know that the unique model was even more unique, due to the fact that it was possible to choose not only the city.

The classic PAM365 00 was crafted in titanium, 01 in rose gold and 02 in white gold.
But the color of the dial could be chosen from black, brown and ... of course blue!

I don't have a lot of photos of each option, and in general, this can be attributed to model 1, but here are some photos of titanium and of course the golden version, which look especially impressive

Dial Type: monotone
Caliber: P.2005 / G
Year of issue: 2010 - present

REP:
Of course, it would be naive to expect a successful replica of such a movement.
But in fact, there is a large number of not expensive replicas that were produced for a long time, with reduced functionality, and a PR scale instead of the equation of time.
They even have the correct 50mm size, but they are always made of steel, with or without RG coating.
I also saw options with black or brown dials, but unfortunately I never saw blue.
Photos, I think, are superfluous, because I am not sure that after reading about a really example of fine watchmaking from PANERAI, which we do not see so often at all, there is no particular desire to look at ridiculous cheap attempts to repeat it.
Although no, I didn’t confuse forum.lol.

REP Photo:




As a result, we can see that the list of our models with a blue dial has grown to 74 pieces, 1 of which are 3 different versions (PAM356 00/01/02)
Hopefully all the gaps have been filled in and I will edit this post further only to include the models actually released in 2021.

Thanks for your contribution. I love the blue dial PAMS, I wish there was a rep that was <12mm thickness
A wonderful desire, I share it. But unfortunately, with only an 8mm P.9000 clone, and restrictions on the height of the crystal, the distance from the dial to the crystal, etc., this is hardly feasible. We are looking forward to the P.900 clone, there are many models with it, and over time, there will only be more. I don't see any other way.
