I saw my first gen Pam. And was quite surprised to see that the AR coating had a tint of yellow on it. Is it only on selected models that have a yellow tint? OR do all gen Pams have a yellow tinit on the AR coasting?

As far as I know, most of them do, and i don't think any of the reps have the yellow AR. Kind of a tell.

I have a 005G & H zero gen. No yellow tint I have ever seen, what model are you looking at?

The crystal easily can reflect the colors in the room or windows.

My gen 210 has a very light blue tint to it if you catch it at just the right angle. Honestly, the AR on the gens is so slight, it would probably be less of a tell to not have any AR on the reps at all. :lol:

Pizzanooo, if you ever want to sell that 000, let me know. That's next on my list. :wink:

I understand many of the newer gen models have the yellow AR. They also go all over the place with some factory runs in yellow and others in blue. If anyone sends their gen in for repair the original crystals are replaced with blue AR. I agree that no AR is probably closest to gen for a rep.

Some guys over at RWG are making custom group buys on the yellow color AR specific to the PAM's. I think they come from Europe and are quite impressive.

Well, my 210 is an "I" series and I don't see any yellow in the AR (unless, of course, the light source is yellow). *shrug*

My gen has a slightly blue hue, I've heard on some models it's slightly green. Who knows, one thing for sure with Panerai there's no set standard.

I have to say yellow doesn't work. Maybe I'll change my mind later. But it looks strange.
