hahaha saying that, even if i would have wore the 195 or 318 (as i read from Ale's guide the 318 also very limited), ppl will find it hard to believe that i actually have the gen 195/318 on my wrist lol..
so i guess best bet is the 005 yeah

haha mate to be honest 318 is still relatively believable, at least more believable than the 195. it's limited to 150 pieces but who's to say you weren't one of the lucky few who managed to get it from the NY boutique, or second hand, vs one of 200 elite members of paneristi.com, each with their name engraved on the watch which i reckon they'd be crazy to sell. so in all honesty the 005/318 is fine. the 195 is a beautiful watch but apart from the back name engraving, the quality is probably nowhere near "super rep" as compared to the 005/318
oh and for the record, i myself have a noob005, but mostly because i bought it off m2m here for a good deal and a local seller too. either way you can't go wrong, both super reps according to Ale's guide

Grazie BB. Now a lot of ink has been put down over these crownguards on gen and rep-forums. From what I´ve read and put together the gen was definitely produced with cg-levers facing up and facing down.
You will be surprised by the picture results of a google-search for “pam 203historic model”
While the historic pre-vêndome models had downfacing cg´s my favourite story is that it is believed, after its initial production, that an error had occurred with the position of the crown guard. Some reports are, that it was considered that the particular historic watch it was based on, may have had its crown guard inadvertently refitted the wrong way by a watchmaker during one of its many tear-down services during its 50 years of service. Curiously this would mean that the REG TM printing was also supposed to be on the backside - and the front clean. Same goes for the 127.
With the new 590 they chose the downfacing CG-Lever with no TM inscription at all ,which imo gives credibility to this story as well.

Someday the misty smokes of time will lift this mystery
Hi mate.
So if they say a lot about this particular watch and also very expensive.
My belief was that he had only the CG upwards.
However, I consider it a watch formidable..e who owns it as rep, has excellent taste.
:thumbsup: very nice your pic.
hahaha yeap somehow believable too.. both are stunning! but i guess my go will be the 005 for now
get that wristshot of your 005 pleaseeeeee hahahaha
haha that's how it starts mate. one pam, then 2 then 3... then you'll keep telling yourself it's the last one. and then before you realize you'll have 10 or more. and don't even get me started on straps haha...
anyways here's the wristshot of my 005. wearing it right now in fact
