PAM 111 N v4 Noob - pic heavy

[Nstirton 0]

Hi all,

I picked this up a few years ago and felt it was about time I shared some pics! Details from the TD site:

Name: PAM111 N V4 Noob 1:1 Best Edition on Brown Calf leather Strap A6497 with Y-Incabloc
Size: 44mm x 15mm
Movement Platinum plated Asian UNITAS-6497-2 21600vph hand-winding movement with
dagger swan neck regulator and flat-top movement bridge blue screws, all blue letters are 
engraved then filled with blue ink rather than painted on the movement directly, with E-Serie
Case: 1:1 replicated 316F high grade stainless steel case, new style crown guard with ball-bearing. 
Crystal: Scratch-proof sapphire crystal with colorless anti-reflection coating (Swiss standard, 
single-sided, same as genuine) 
Dial: Superlumed dial and hands (lumed with genuine Super-LumiNova C1+C3) 
Bezel: Polished stainless steel bezel
Clasp: 316F high grade stainless steel tang buckle with detailed engravings (same as gen)

So, i've no idea how this compares to the gen as I'm not lucky enough to own one (though I think from reading at the time this clone is well thought of). However, if you like this style of watch i'll say straight away - BUY IT.

I genuinely can't believe the quality of this piece for the money paid. It looks incredible, the finish is great, the saphire is super clear, the movement looks incredible (that case back, wow!), and of course it keeps good time. I did swap out the fairly poor strap it came with and I think the leather from Watch Obsession works really well. As you might expect, the lume on thing thing is like a torch - charges up really quickly and lasts (i'm hugely critial of lume, even on gen watches).

It's in regular rotation with my other watches, hence there's barely a mark on it, but I also feel it's holding up really well. Anyway, take a look below and let me know if there's any questions!

nice pick up pal, everyone should have one of these, simple and elegant, i have its cousin the 177, basically the same but in titanium.  you need to ditch the rep strap and get it on some vintage style leather, our man @JohnG does a cracking range of very well made straps for not much money at all, he's always got a bit of something for sale in the m2m section

Agree with PBR - get a @JohnG Nero strap on there - a nice Ammo style

Thanks both for the comments! 

 

Yeah I ditched the light tan strap it came with (cheap and plasticy) and replaced with this one which I think works well. £40 from Watch Obsession. 

 

Can never have too many straps tho, so I'll check the links! Cheers!

Also, here's me rapping about how good the lume is and I didn't even post a shot! Gotta love these sandwich dials on Panerai. This is after literally just a few minutes in the sun:

Either a proper strap or a bracelet. My PAM111 says hi.

PAM 111 is one of my favorite watches. I got one about two years ago and use it with the rubber strap.  How many of you guys switch out your straps on the PAM 111 frequently?

PAMs are veritable strap horses. I'm sure there are some out there who change straps like they change wardrobe.

Mine on several OEM straps.

Can't beat a 111 on rubber! I used to own a 176H but always wished it was a 177. Nice looking watches
