dave47 6,505 Posted October 13, 2011 ABSOLUTELY a beautiful watch GHR, ER. GHP!! I can see why Pams just kinda grow on someone, as they've done with me. Great looker and nice review. dave Let me start by saying that I am in love with this watch! I haven't been so excited about any watch I have bought in quite some time. I don't know what it is about the tobacco dial and titanium that does it for me but it's just right. I just so happened to be doing an estimate today near a Tourneau store so I decided to stop in and look at the real deal to get a better gauge of how this rep stands up to the gen. I gotta tell you this rep is god damn good! Dial and hand color is spot on as far as my eye can tell. Date wheel color, position and font are awesome and lume is pretty much perfect. Crown spacing and shape looks correct as does the crown guard itself. I thought the CG pin looked a little too far out to the edge on the rep but it's pretty much identical to the gen. CG lever shape is also excellent with a rounder tip than some of the previous H or N factory stuff. The two huge flaws are the case back serial number fail and obviously the movement. Other than that I'd consider this dead nuts to gen. The Panerai nazis over at RG were complaining about the dial and hand color being off and it being unacceptable....they are smoking crack! I'm no expert but it is right on for both. The color of the titanium used on the 351 is lighter than the previous 176/177 etc and is absolutely gen like. The bezel height is a hair off but you'd never notice without looking for it. Crystal looks really good as does AR. The case back engraving is a slightly thicker font on the gen but this is also trivial as you don't see it on the wrist and the serial number deal would ruin the case back anyhow so not a big deal. My conclusion is that this is one awesome watch. Not only because of how good the construction is but just how different it is from most of the other Pams. It wears way bigger than a 005 or 111 because of it's 18mm thickness and 1950 style case withe broader corners. I'm a bit partial to 47mm Pams now but this feels and looks almost the same size on the wrist. I highly recommend that if you are on the fence about this watch...BUY IT! You will not be disappointed Below are some pics i took and I hope they do it justice. Enjoy! GHR....I mean GHP :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

watch.aholic 538 Posted October 13, 2011 That's a nice watch......44mm 1950 case in Titanium.....with tobacco dial......How light does it feel compared to stainless steel 44mm PAM's.... I've got a 328L and it is definitely quite heavy....more so on the bracelet but the Ti case should take off a lot of weight I suppose... Also that's a Low beat movement on it...is it? How's the lume compared to the 312/328... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I called the Boutique all I asked for was a Assolutamente strap in 24/22 115/95 XL. Color code on packaging says Dark Brown. Call the LA boutique because New York doesn't have the for another two weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
