Still can't decide between Pam111 vs Pam 372

Well, that's the rep Assolutamente. If you have to get a rep leather strap, that would be my choice as well (but still won't fit me :lmao: ).
I wouldn't call 111 a boring watch. It's one of the most accurate and most versatile PAMs out there and I just love everything about it. I wear mine every day for last 2 weeks (on equally boring rubber) and I can't take it off my wrist.
I had 372 before and couldn't bond with it. However now I have Gunny Caitlin strap and I had to get 372 because it's a perfect combo and I'm sure I'll love it this time. Also have closed caseback on the way.
Conclusion would be, save $400 and get both. You won't regret it!
Oh and don't forger to post some pics.

Pam 111 v4 all day. I went through a Pam phase but realized I like them in pictures but just never on my wrist. For some reason the 111 just looks nice on your wrist. It fits well, looks a little flashy but not overtly so. Go with rubber and then but a nice light brown leather strap for it to switch between. Plus, any watch without seconds is ridiculous to me.
For me, having both 111 and 372 from Noob, I love both of my watches yet I feel 111 quite a bit boring unless you have a couple of straps to flip around. If you can wear 47mm, 372 would be perfect for you. If you are indecisive between 111 and 372, I'd suggest you to get both of them as they aren't really expensive. Noob 372 is good enough but using 6497 movement so it's an instant tell from the caseback, unless you want to go for ZF 372.
Is this the right 111 with rubber?

Yep, that's it. Although getting an actual V4 is playing the lottery the V3 is very good as well.
Pam 111 is the easy choice for me. 372 is way too big for my skinny wrists and I think it is no where near as versatile as the 111.
As far as the kw version goes, I prefer kw (own both kw and Noob Pams). They are both superb watches but I think kw case is ever so slightly more accurate and I have never had any movement or quality issues with my kw watches (Noob is a completely different story...almost every Noob watch I have owned crapped on me at some point).
I think Noob benefits from the longer history with the 111 and kw is the underdog (or simply overlooked...), so I would strongly recommend keeping it as an option

Hi mate looks great! Is that the standard rep strap that comes with the v4? I really want to buy the 111 but concerned about the quality of the strap it comes with!
The rep Assolutamente strap is one of the best rep straps available. Of course it does not compare to the gen, but for the ridiculously low price, it can't be beat.
How much did you guys pay for the asso strap? Did you request it with the watch from the TD?
Inquire with the TD if the PAM111 is available with the Asso strap (I do remember it being offered before). Gen Asso straps cost $200 if memory serves.
I also want to order a PAM111 but which TD sells the best version? For me the most important is the reliability of the movement (kW seems the best?). Thank you !
