I am a big panerai fan. I sometimes think the 44mm pams are a bit small for my build. I really liked the PAM 292j ceramic you suggested ALE, but I was wondering, if other than the subs, there is a 47mm reps just as good as the 292 or 029 and without a caseback. Would you be able to point me in the right direction? Also, are there any pams that sport the super dome glass, other than the 127 and 217?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Plus I think you should get one with a caseback. You know, for completeness. :lol:
Some clarifications are required
The overall most accurate?
PAM 029 Noob, PAM 292 J Noob
The most accurate in the wrist? (Not in the hand. List increases a lot)
PAM 111-176-177-127-217-029-356-390-088-243 Noob, PAM 292 J noob, PAM 312 KW, PAM 388 KW, PAM 288 H maker
The most gen-like feel appearance?
PAM 417 KW, PAM 388 KW, PAM 312 KW, PAM 346 KW, PAM 359 KW, PAM 505-504 KW, PAM 029 Noob, PAM 243 Noob, PAM 390 Noob, PAM 292 J Noob
The nicest one? (this is a taste matter)
PAM 390, PAM 253, PAM 388, PAM 346, PAM 417, PAM 359, PAM 312, PAM 088
I know this is a big list, but I cannot reduce it

I just see the PAM 359 super rep version, the most flaw of this version is the AR of the crystal. it is so reflective. even though the dial is black, due to reflective reduce the blackiness and it makes me think its so fake. other than this i can agree

If there's one thing I've learnt in many many hours of reading, comparing and wearing, it's that AR is NOT one of PAM's strong points - Gen or Rep.

Thank you very much for your great work! Even in Germany and Austria you are a kind of godfather of Panerai Reps.
Your PAM Review is sure the best Review ever written about Panerai Reps. :thumbsup:
I bought the PAM 359, 388, 346 and 505 in the last three months by following your Review and your List.

Have a 111 noob and 359 kw on the way! Not sure to thank ALE or not, he clearly has helped me spend more money!
Keep up the great work mate!
I really want to thank Ale and the monk for making sense to me when it comes to choosing a watch, i am a newbie in the rep world and i have got really hooked on Pam´s, something i never thought growing up in a family selling watches for a living. I always liked sporty big watches with lots of extra details, but the sleekness and style of the Pam´s have really found its way in to my heart lately. These timepieces are timeless (funny) LOL... And they will last forever when it comes to style and apperance.
So thank you guys for making my wishlist a mile long and my wife hates you guys because my moneys spent on other things then her! LOL :-D
Keep up the good work!
