***** Which was your first PAM rep? Which your last one? And…WHY? **********

[ALE7575]

Title says everything.
PLEASE PICS.

- My first PAM rep was, many years ago, a bad but nice rep of a fantasy GMT model Firenze blue dial, something like a hybrid between a PAM 063 and a PAM 228, fitted with a cheap 21J. I bought this rep because I liked it, it was really nice. I have not found it between my PAMs collection to take a pic. I will do if I found it.

- My last Panerai rep KW PAM 388 and PAM 505 from KW.
Why? Because they are AWESOME !!
I have not yet received them

ALE

PLEASE DON’T FORGET PICS

PAM 196 7750

Was first. Liked the chrono look and wanted to try out a pam.


Last is PAM 399 & PAM 372. The only 2 Pams I will ever need! Both are elegant and versatile. Imo look a grade well above the rest which all look the same lol.

My first Pam was the 243



I also have a 104 on a gen strap from StrapDaddy (miss him)



I am seriously thinking of picking up a 187

My first PAM - bought in GZ about 8 years ago, and my last PAM, got it 10 days ago.

 

[TESLA760]

My first was a 318. Long gone. My favorite to this day has been the 312, which my friend refuses to give back to me.

 

[spankster23]

Here was my first. homemade fantasy build...

My latest...

And built this one. 232 homage

Because this is way to much fun!

 

[Capt. Obvious]

My first and last PAM (bought recently) has been the 359.
My next one will probably be the 356.

Why? Cuz they are simply stunning!

Luth you're definitely getting better in taste over the years :hehehe:
and am jealous of that 127e .....................and i want it !!!!!:

Pam 029 which at the time I thought I would really like,should have known better. Watches without minute graduations really don't do it for me as I don't like guessing the time. I found it frustrating to have a watch with a well regulated movement(+5sec/day) and a sweep second hand that it was a struggle to even tell which minute you are in at a glance, due to the lack of minute graduations. Sold it and stayed away from Pams for a while, but now I have an 088 in the post so I am hoping it appeals to me more than the 029 once it arrives.

the 088 in the mail and my(now sold)029

Gen pic I know:

my 1st is 112N

bcoz the dial is clean and elegant
however sometimes i regret not getting 111 v3
but its still a great watch and wont be the last in this hobby

 

[carlton]

Does homage included? If included it will be a Getat MM 111 alike in brushed case. First real pam is 111 V3.

holy crap...what a difference 8 years makes.

 

[faberjay111]

My first Pam...and first rep...was a 177. I refuse to sell it!



My last one (so far) is a 113 with a gen dial and hands...



I am now assembling parts for a 202A build. I have the FGD dial and a Little Hero CG. Only a few more parts to go!

 

[ikiestik]

My 1st was a $100 111h on ss bracelet from t4d/robert r.i.p broke it long ago, the lume was good but to green in daylight with mineral crystal and horrible blue ar remember those? Then I had 005k v1 gave it to a stripper, 026k v1 converted to dlc 000 and sold recently. I currently have a 111m with little hero dial and hands

and my latest is the mighty noob pam 243l which I keep on oem coramid velcro.

My next will most likely be a dsn pre-v/pre-a model.

I love the 243. Beautiful rep well worthy of that OEM strap.

DSN has a couple of really nice fairly accurate Pre-A dials . Get the hands and dial from DSN, then do your own build!

Luth, nice to see your taste is in evolution... to the better

My first PAM rep was the 299K. I wanted an automatic with the option to have both a stainless bracelet and a leather strap (Guided by Ale's brilliant spreadsheet).


In the short time since then I have become a leather strap and 6497 hand wound purist.

 

[Pamtastic]

Interesting to see the evolution of reps via this thread.....being a noob I didn't start that far back so my first rep wasn't so bad:

This was built by Strodda himself and was his personal watch. Took me a bit of persuading to get him to sell, but I do love it. As you can imagine, the lume on this is STELLAR.

My last was the KW388 which I've posted numerous pics of. I've been passively gen shopping thinking I'll buy something early next yr. been loving the 388 so much it's now on my short list.

It's not much about taste... Just 8 years ago I had no any idea, what PAM is. And it was the only decent size watch on the stand.

My first PAM, and first replica for that matter, was the 111 v3. Simplicity is the name of the game for PAMs IMO. I was saving for my next gen purchase when I stumbled across RWI and reps. 111 and 112 were in my sights as potential candidates. An hour or so after finding RWI I quickly learned the 111 had the reputation in the rep world. Voila. Still wear her with pride.

My most recent PAM is the 390 noob. Why? Because, simplicity is the name of the game for PAMs. I had intended to order a 388 Rad but the lug screws have scarred me off.
