PAM 372 ?

Recommended Posts

JohnPilot

I love this great watch, saw it in Zurich last week.

Does anybody know if there exists a rep?

Didn't find any.

Who can help?

:help3:

Yeah, I checked the prices of the gen at chrono24 .... heavy but a bargain compared to a 127.

Available at trusty time but does not have engraved 'panerai' on face as gen. Obvious flaw. don't like plexiglass on gen though. High maintenance and will scratch too easily. Sapphire is just so much more trouble free.

dont bother with the gen, it's a "limited" edition run of 3500, and there is nothing redeemable about the watch itself to begin with in terms of collectability, no pig, no logo, no signatures etc

 

IMO, and I'll be putting this theory into practice shortly, go with an early model, not a pre vendome, they're upwards of $20k entry level these days, but the 1st and 2nd releases "la bomba" 64's and 87's would be my personal preference of the subby range :thumbsup:

 

 

 

The reps 372;s are way waaaaaaaaay off. I was about to pull the trigger a few months ago and the inaccuracy of the printing on the dial is just horrible

Sorry, perfect clones, not trusty. Says sapphire but I believe it's plexiglas.

Wrong case on the rep and that's the most important flaw.

The gen 372 has a specific case, the rep is using a basic 47mm '1950' case.

Thanks mate... a bit expensive for such inaccurate rep, wrong case, wrong movement, I think I'll wait for something better.

TBH, I can't tell the diffrence between basic 1950 case and 372 case, some info would be appriciated :)

 

Looks good compared to gen, you have some skilled mate, Frank :lol:

Tbh it's only one mate, but with multiple skills. :P

Joe changed the movement and the blue hue fiddy-style crystal with a plexy.

Crown guard got brushed instead of polished and he lowered the hands.

Just my two cents worth, but I'll take a Noob PAM 127 Rep over this every day of the week.

speaking of 127, do you believe that the crystal distortion will be fixed when stock comes back?

 

For 372, need to set reasonable expectations. Movement will never be accurate. Rep Case actually looks good to me. Apparently it's stamped on sides per gen, but isn't visible in photos. The plexiglas and engraved face are so distinctive on gen, I hope those two issues would be tacked first.

The differences are evident. See a pic of the PAM 372 case shape

It looks like an overall thinner case. Even the lugs are slimmer looking. The shape of the case add clearance to the crown for fat fingers, like mine. I do not recall your comments on the crystal but it looks like much less dome.
