IMO the best one is Noob PAM 364

PAM 569 is the nicest IMO (KW Seagull NON-inverted the best option)

Nice Also KW PAM 508 (best option wit Seagull NON-inverted)

PAM 187 Noob 2013 fitted with A7753 was very good too, but the last batches came with NON-recessed subdials, and this was an obvious tell
There are some news that maybe this is already corrected but we have not yet assured it

EDITED: adding PAM 569 following nicktan182's post

Could we have pics to see it in detail??

This is an important new to be considered and include in PAM GUIDE if we get the proof

Thanks in advance

I echo ALE's request.....can you share photos?
I am about to order a PAM 364, but if the 187G are now with the recessed subdials, I'll look at that.
(Although the 187G still needs re-lumed hands!)

Of course, PAM 187 would need to relume hands to white colour

If you like beast watches PAM 187 is perfect. PAM 364 is a bit less (just a bit) beast

quite confused with the replies here, a lot of options !
hehehehe
anyway which one is the closest to gen ?

how about the 389 ? no love ?

the 508 i like it so much, but it seems that the pearl on the rep is really "noticable" ?

There are no many options

PAM 389 ZFac has an inaccurate, ugly and bad finisehd knurling of the bezel, and the fitting and finsh of the ceramic and metallic bezels are no perfect
PAM 389 KW has very good finish and fitting, even the knurling is nice enough. But, unfortunately, the shape of the 1950 case is inaccurate.

IMO you have only. PAM 364, PAM 508 and PAM 569 (if PAM 187 has no recessed subdials)

PAM 508 has improved a lot the pearl in last batches and versions. It is good enough

Fortunately three (four) watches are really different, therefore would be a taste matter

Read PAM Reference GUIDE, you will get more opinions and details
But don't expect an absolute reply. Finally, you will have to make your OWN decision
