Del 4,528 Posted April 17, 2011 I bought this PAM318 Brooklyn Bridge from ReplicaMake and received it a couple of days ago (I posted feedback in Lay's section here). This model is basically the newest version of the PAM005 but with a different caseback - it was released as a special edition run of 150 to commemorate the 1st year anniversary of the opening of the Panerai boutique in New York's Madison Avenue (I got no.31 ). It is a stunning watch with an extremely high quality finish of case, Swiss quality AR, correct Superluminova, flush cannon pinion and good CG pin. It's currently on a Hirsch Liberty strap with polished big tang buckle but I hope to get a new high-quality strap for it in the near future. I hope you enjoy my photos.

GC 4,534 Posted April 18, 2011 I mean a rep in auto movement This particular model (PAM318) is a hand wind movt only... in Rep or Gen The closest automatic model Panerai make of this watch is the PAM104, but not half as sexy as the 005/318 IMO (and before you ask...yes they make a Rep PAM104) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GC 4,534 Posted April 18, 2011 "not half as sexy: looks to me as tho' they have pretty much the same boat race, bodywork and tits, 'ceptin one has a tatooed ass I think of it more as a sixth toe... i hate that fucking date window & cyclops. IMO (and that's all it is) the simplicity and clean dial of a PAM is one of the most striking things about it's design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO (and that's all it is) the simplicity and clean dial of a PAM is one of the most striking things about it's design. Exactly. Also, seconds hand should be eliminated, together with all other hands, it will be much cleaner look. Why the fuck you need hands? Just word "PANERAI" would be perfectly enough.
