Hi
Trying to decide on wich Sub to buy.
What i've found so far:
571 P P9000 v6f & ZP9000 zf
305 L A7750
364 P P9000
371 N ZP9001
243 M A7750

I actually like them all, just can't figure out wich has best movement and wich is closest to gen.
also i don't understand why some have colorless saphire and some don't, and what's better.
Can anyone help me with some info on what's best to look at and such.
I appreciate any comments

Really ?
Can you tell me why please ?

Because it very close to gen in many respects where others falter and the addition of a closed case back is a nice plus. My choice, however, would be the 187.

187. Had mine on today at the pool. It's great and virtually indistinguishable.

Misplaced as in wrong orientation or sunken date wheel? The sunken date wheel can be taken care of with an A7753 movement.

I mean the date is closer to the 5 then gen, that is very noticeable.

Not on the wrist -- it is an error, but very minute in the scheme of things

The flat subdials are a bigger tell on the PAM187, but don't let that stop you. I love mine. :) Closest to gen, I would say among your choices, the PAM243 if you fancy a 44mm, or the PAM364 for the 47mm. Maybe you've missed them, but I would recommend the PAM569 (the one in my sig) as well as the PAM508 if you're into the stealth look. :D

I cannot agree more with mysterio

PAM 243 and 364 Noob are really accurate and with strong gen-like appearance
PAM 569 is really good, nice and well made (KW with Seagull NON-inverted the best option IMO)
For black lovers PAM 508 (also KW with Seagull NON-inverted IMO)

It is a pity PAM 187 has no recessed sub-dials, because it was really good

The latest 305 from ZF is pretty BA

The PAM305 V2 is okay, I guess but it doesn't have anything going for it compared to the other 47mm subs, never mind the open caseback which shows the movement flaw. I think that's why it did not fare well with the PAM364 and the PAM569 which almost came out at the same time.

Out of those I'd run with the 243 or 364. There are a lot of great subs though. I also have the 389, 569, 382, 369, 508. I love them all equally. Can't go wrong with any of them despite tiny flaws.

My first PAM is arriving at the end of the week so I hope the new 382 BRONZO is the best.
Shall keep y'all posted!
