Where to buy a good PAM 372?

[Dale Cooper]

I'm trying to determine where I can buy a good PAM 372 but couldn't find any recent reviews or comparison charts.
I read that the Noob version has an easy to scratch crystal. Are there any other better options out there?

Thanks.

keep using that search menu....many threads i have partaken in as well. Noob is the best model but has the wrong Cannon Pinion that hold the hands. its too wide but none the less the only real flaw. its pretty mush a super rep. buy it from any TD on here. you will not be disappointed. then buy a after market leather strap. Done

To add, the PAM372 comes with a plexiglass crystal, which pays direct homage to the PAM6152-1. All PAM372 reps should have it and by nature plexiglass is not scratch resistant.

Thank you for the precision @mysterio It makes sense indeed!

@PAM1983 Yes I have and I will again for sure but I must admit that the more I search, the more I get lost
For instance, I see that there are 2 noob models with 2 different movements, the P3000 and the A6497. It seems that the A6497 is out of stock so I, apparently, have no choice than going with the P3000. Is it the right move or should I try to dig deeper and get my hands on a A6497 ?

Thanks again for your assistance guys !

If the P3000 clone movement bothers you then buy a closed case back and replace the see thru version. Run a search for "372 closed caseback".....a few of our members have done this and the result was stellar. I personally wouldn't spend time looking for the other movement.

Oh no it doesn't necessarily bother me. I do like the see through version. It's just that I can't determine which one is better between p3000 and A6497 that's all.

Of course the superclone is better as it copies the gen movement in the PAM372. However, in terms of dial, the Noob version is the closest but is only available with the barely decorated A6497 movement.

Actually it seems that Intime have the p3000. So you would recommend this one?

It seems strangely cheap though.

That's actually the decorated A6497 version (the movement is underneath some simple decorative plates which are glued on). This is the one with the Superclone P.3000 movement. But the dial does not compare with the Noob dial. And if you're saying that's a low price, I have seen it sell for lower before.

I went with the Noob and I am in the process of ordering a solid case back,If I can fine the noob 372 at a cheap price I may buy a spare ,its a good watch.

My combo is Noob 372, Athaya engraved solid caseback and Gunny Caitlin 2. What will come is Eta 6497 and Donerix box [emoji4]

Just try the Noob as is. It's a super value right now. Try some cool straps from Micah, orloff or Dirk or a gen one. Here's mine with an olive green generic one..

Thanks guys. The watch on the picture that @Dinkis posted looks very nice indeed. Where did you buy it? A TD?

What I don't understand and confuses me is @mysterio 's post. Are you saying that the PAM on the link I posted is not noob as stated on the TD's website? In that case, if that TD is not accurate or lies on his pages, would you guys recommend a TD where I'm sure to buy the Noob PAM 372?

PS: and again, thanks to all of you. I'm so suprised and pleased to find a forum with such cordial and helpful members. Usually on the interwebs ,newbie questions are welcomed by disdain and a sh*tstorm of insults :laugh:

Oh and @Dinkis the strap is beautiful !

All good! Sometimes I obsess about a piece and then sometimes ya just gotta pull the trigger especially when it's $150. And all these reps are reps. They have their good and their bad. Half the fun is deciphering which ones are worth buying and which ones are poor representations.
Lotsa good folks on this forum. And lotsa good TD's. lately I've been buying from PF 818. He's super reliable. Just don't get discouraged with the overwhelming information and such. Have fun with it and remember - it won't be the last one you'll buy [emoji6]. Your taste and interest will change over time. Above all, have fun

I totally agree with you when you said "Your taste and interest will change over time." I started out liking the Subs soooooo much that it's all I really bought the first year besides the Pam000 I bought and Gen of that too. After that it was all Subs all the time. I was obsessed. Then I met up with another member on here in NYC and he showed me the 372 and Gen 442 along with the 605 and I was hooked on the Luminor 1950 vintage case look. Haven't thought about buying a Sub ever since. Have fun with it is right 100%.
Now I just have these two bad boys.
