As the title said. I am sure both are considered as super rep with lower price.
But I just can't decide.... damn it.....

If you were in this situation what would you choose ? Plus do you know more model of super rep with low price?
Thank you

Frank Choi, you must also consider that PAM 111 is 44 mm (case diameter) and PAM 372 is 47 mm.

Personally, I would start with PAM 111.

There is a good reason for chosing the rubber strap: the leather strap is not good enough. You could buy a good hand made strap later.

Personally, I'd go for the 111. I've had the Noob 372 and Noob 029 and I much prefer the 029's case shape and size (I never liked it initially, thought the case shape was plain compared to the 372's). I loved the 372 tho!
But i'll have to give it to the 111 here. Accurate movement, sapphire crystal, seconds subdial - things that score points for me.

@WalkerHD could you tell me why the rubber one is better strap than leather?

Cause the replica leather strap is really poor quality. The rubber one is really comfortable.
Since it is so easy to change strap on a Pam, You could/should order a nice aftermarket leather strap to much with your Pam. Just have a look on the strap sale section, plenty of straps for sales. My favourite ones for Pam 111 are Gunny, Di Stefano, Dirk and Wotancraft. Orloff make wonderful straps but i prefer his crocodile leather straps for more dressy watch as radiomir.

I had also a Pam 372 Noob. Beautiful Watch and soon or later I will buy it again.
But it is 47, and it has an open caseback with a movement that is an instant giveaway.

Just get them both. They both have their place and they are both great value. And don't forget to also get a 127[emoji6]

And for those concerned about the movement of 372...I've never tried to pass my watches off for anything other than what they are. Good value, fun hobby. And then you can modify your watches and they will be even better. The 372 Noon is a great value. Have fun deciding!

I've owned the 372, 390 and 005. I loved the 372 but it was to big for me. So if your wrists can handle a 47 mm watch, go for it. Its the panerai that just oozes pam DNA.

Bro, you need both. For summer and t-Shirt I would definetly pick the unbelievable 372. A real beauty in the sun with its 47mm. Order 111 in fall for winter, when you wear long shirts and jackets.

Thank you so much all. Before I made a post I did not know pam372 was 47mm. Now I am little scared by the size. My wrist is little over 5mm. Do you guys think it is ok for 47mm? I wonder was 47mm included crown guard ?
