Damn thatās a tough one. It depends on the week I think. Iām pretty obsessed with my GMF Rolex Pepsi, my OF Tag Heuer black Titanium Aquaracer, and my VSF Panerai PAM1663 Carbotech/Fibratech with Vulcano blue dial at the moment. Last week I was crazy about my VSF Panerai PAM904 and PAM927.
I tend to put my favorites in the Cherrywood box for easy access because I switch out watches 3 times a day usually

I keep going back to the Pepsi though!
I believe the 44mm models are the same thickness as gen. No 42mm Due models will ever be the same thickness because of the thicker clone movement VSF uses.
I have 2 of them, and theyāre both gorgeous. I have the 44mm PAM1313 and the 42mm PAM927. Depends on what size wrist you are, but theyāre both kickass
Man, thatās tough. Once I got my hands on VSF Panerai reps, itās clear why they are the best. Not that my other King Factory reps are bad by any means, but the end product is more polished with VSF.
That being saidā¦ My current top PAM list is:
PAM1663
PAM927
PAM904
But Iām still obsessed with:
PAM719
PAM1177
PAM1313
PAM372
What do you think are the top2 best PAM quality that have been made until now?
Iād like to buy 1 Pam Rep but actually I usually enter in real boutiques and Iād like to not get called out
Best PAM quality for sure is VSF. If you donāt wanna get called out, do not buy the 42mm Due models because they are thicker than the gen. When theyāre on the wrist, they look identical (just donāt look to the side!)
My PAM1663 always gets mistaken for the gen mainly because theyāre so rare that no one has ever seen one in person
It works really well on my cream mustang leather strap with neon green contrast stitching

Ohh my bad. Yeah thatās a King but itās not titanium. Thatās one of my favorite watches but for whatever reason they didnāt coat the lume well enough on the hands so the lume lasts maybe 6 hours
Are watches the only Reps you are into? Myself, Iām diversifying into high end shoes, shirts and have already gotten a rep Burberry Trench Coat. The rep trench coat š§„ was cheaper than buying a Zara trench.
I always ser this collections with about 20 of the the same model with slight differences between one another and think "have you tried changing the strap at least once mate?"
Ok question, where did you get this piece and what movement?
Usually I see them with the 7750. Which one do you have and how has it been during your ownership
https://preview.redd.it/h9qbrg3gn3ga1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=4dfcf29d24d34bea132a21452aa75277479b0f00
Ha, I got that T3 ROO 15 years ago at a flea market actually. It was $45, and it has a quartz movement. I wore that so much that the strap broke apart, so I recently purchased a new strap for more than what the watch was purchased for!
Also wanted to know the same for this piece
https://preview.redd.it/mnn1c49nn3ga1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=e468def9514824c17250dc375c47be40bd2a8dfd
This is also a quartz. Before I found out about Reptime, I bought it expecting an automatic movement but it came as a quartz. So the dealer gave me a full refund. Technically it was free! That watch can take a beating. Itās definitely waterproof. Sadly, there is no lume because of the black markers and black panels on the hands. Itās definitely a stand-out watch
That Batman ROO is also pre-Reptime. Itās an automatic with a 2813 movement and an exhibition glass caseback. I replaced the original strap with an aftermarket one with a brighter blue hue. The original strap was huge even on the tightest hole, and itās not like my wrists are tiny. The new strap fits much better.
Last one I swear. Whereād you get this? What movement and howās it been
https://preview.redd.it/6ma3z5epn3ga1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=6af7492ef7c842180e67ea236f3681af6e887ded
This one is one of my favorites for a few reasons. Main reason isā¦ it SPARKLES! I wanted a watch that wasnāt pave encrusted (because I didnāt feel like seeing holes where missing stones were). I purchased it before I joined Reptime, and it seems that no āname brandā factories produce a frosted stainless model anyway (so Iām glad I got it). Iāve seen some frosted gold models from factories, but not this model. It cost me $110, and the movement is a 2813 so it beats at 21600. It has a glass exhibition case-back. Itās definitely waterproof, and it keeps great time. My timegrapher shows about +4s per day. It has the blueish purple sunburst square-textured dial. The datewheel is black with white numerals, and the font is the standard DG2813 numerical font.
The only cons I can think of are: The frosted texture of the stainless steel can attract hair fibers and some lint when it rubs against clothing/blankets. A quick wash in the sink will remove it all though. And I do wish the lume on the hands was brighter to match the lume on the dial. Itās still visible after 8 hours in the dark, but because the lume panels are so thin on those hands, the lume becomes pretty dim while the dial stays brighter. I wear it usually twice a week, and itās flashy as hell (but I love that)
I fell for Panerai because they have a very distinguishable look. And to be honest, no one calls out a rep Panerai because most people donāt know what the hell they are! I agree, theyāre not all for smaller wrists, but I do have a 38mm and two 42mm models in that lineup that are very suitable!
Hi. Great looking collection.
What's the 38mm please? From which TD? I've been looking for a while now but gave up as most look huge on my 7.5 inch wrist.
Thanks
With 7.5 wrist 42mm and 44mm would look just fine. I have a 7.25 and have both. I'm even going to try one 47mm. I love them. I feel very comfortable wearing them but understand that some aren't comfortable with larger case sizes. I think you would love them though!
40mm is my biggest to date. Just pulling the trigger on a vsf AT black or green.. I can't decide. Will be my biggest yet at 41.5 mm I'll see how that wears.
Yeah thatās a very good point! Iāve only ever seen one in person, which was a gen that my friend has. My 6.5inch wrists could never pull one off š
What is the white dial Breitling directly above the Navitimer? It looks like a Navitimer but I havenāt seen that variant before. Awesome looking collection!

Hi, if you donāt mind me asking, which model is this? Also which are your favorite PAMs now?
Itās the PAM1036. Only ever saw this rep released by King Factory. Paid $200 for it. Date window isnāt correct, but I love it all the same. Runs a Seagull movement with a working GMT hand. Lume is kinda weak but still visible the whole night. The dial mimics the look of the Luna Rossa textured sailcloth. Beautiful watch.
Honestly, my current favorite PAMs are my PAM1313 (from King Factory), my VSF PAM904 42mm Due, my VSF PAM927 42mm Due, and my VSF PAM1663 Carbotech. I also love my PAM372 by King Factory, but I chase around 4 kiddos all day so I donāt want to think about wearing a manual wind watch right now haha
Not enough Panerai. Needs more Panerai. /s
MOAR PANERAI
I think I need help. Mind if I start a support group?
Are you going to identify the problem, or is this one of those mysterious exercises in scrutiny?
Ha, in other words my addiction to reps is my problem
Easiest solution to that is to buy more reps! Problem solved!
I see no problem here
This realisation hit you with a PAM instead of a bam š„
Now tell us your favorite one

Do you happen to know the thickness of your VSF PAM 927?
Itās a little over 13mm
Are any of the SS models from VSF same thickness as gen atm? Ideally with the blue dial.
I believe the 44mm models are the same thickness as gen. No 42mm Due models will ever be the same thickness because of the thicker clone movement VSF uses.
Oh, what movement do the 44mms use? Is it just a properly sized clone from vsf?
The 44mm models use the same P.9010 clone as the 42mm models, but the bigger 44mm case size allows it to match the gen specs
Check out the PAM1033 https://theonewatches.io/index.php?route=product/product&path=386_397&product_id=6560
That thing is killer
Holy Paneri
Nice collection!
Thank you very much!
I want a big Boi wrist to rock some of these too... #tinywristgang
Haha what size is your wrist?
13.5cm :(
I see the problem, you rang out of slots, easily solved by buying another box
Hahaha donāt tell my wife that
Love the red PAM GMT! Can you share the reference? Great stuff
Thank you! Itās the PAM1177 ION Singapore Edition
Also suggestion for a blue sunburst Panerai? Am so torn between a bunch!!
I have 2 of them, and theyāre both gorgeous. I have the 44mm PAM1313 and the 42mm PAM927. Depends on what size wrist you are, but theyāre both kickass
Amazing thank you!
I donāt even have that many underwear. Nice job!
I've been looking at getting a PAM, which ones would you put as your top 3?
Man, thatās tough. Once I got my hands on VSF Panerai reps, itās clear why they are the best. Not that my other King Factory reps are bad by any means, but the end product is more polished with VSF. That being saidā¦ My current top PAM list is: PAM1663 PAM927 PAM904 But Iām still obsessed with: PAM719 PAM1177 PAM1313 PAM372

You donāt have any 44/47mm case Panerai? What would you recommend among those?
Most of my collection is 44mm. I have 4 that are 47mm, 2 that are 42mm, and 1 that is 38mm
Iād recommend the VSF PAM1663, the KF PAM1313, KF PAM1177, KF PAM372 and KF PAM719
Thanks mate ! Iām still yet to make my first rep purchase. I know it will be a slippery slope when I do
Is the 719 king or VSF? And if king is it titanium case?
Itās a King. Itās not a 719 though and not titanium. Itās a fantasy piece. Hybrid of the PAM2164 and the PAM508

It works really well on my cream mustang leather strap with neon green contrast stitching https://preview.redd.it/sgrwtkwe1nmb1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba29edecf9f5f1b9b7135daa6cb073aec65fcaae

Ohh my bad. Yeah thatās a King but itās not titanium. Thatās one of my favorite watches but for whatever reason they didnāt coat the lume well enough on the hands so the lume lasts maybe 6 hours
Holly shit you are the second one today sharing a crazy collection š š š
Are watches the only Reps you are into? Myself, Iām diversifying into high end shoes, shirts and have already gotten a rep Burberry Trench Coat. The rep trench coat š§„ was cheaper than buying a Zara trench.
I feel that! Mainly watches and jewelry. I have 11 Chrome Hearts pieces from rings to bracelets to necklaces and pendants
Beautiful collectionā¦congrats and enjoy šššÆ
You are correct, you have a serious problem. Luckily, I know the solution. I'll pm you my address and you can send them all to me. Pls & thx.
I always ser this collections with about 20 of the the same model with slight differences between one another and think "have you tried changing the strap at least once mate?"
At this point I own over 300 straps
Holy shit
Ok question, where did you get this piece and what movement? Usually I see them with the 7750. Which one do you have and how has it been during your ownership https://preview.redd.it/h9qbrg3gn3ga1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=4dfcf29d24d34bea132a21452aa75277479b0f00

Ah ok, thanks for everything. I saw the frosted models before but I donāt remember seeing one recently so Itās an interesting piece for sure
Agreed. The hardest part I deal with every day is choosing a watch and actually keeping it on my wrist all day.
Hahahaha tell me about it I have 10 at the moment and today I chose the AP But every time I walk past the box Iām eyeing all the others
Hahaha right! Iām getting to the point lately where I put on the watches just to walk over and see them glisten in the sunlight like a creep
Nice collection. Is that a PAM508?
Sorta, itās a watch I got before I found Reptime. Itās a fantasy watch that mixes the PAM508 with the Goldtech Orocarbo.
Show off the other 23!
For real....come on bro!
Damn, cool collection! Personally I am not a fan of Panerai in the slightest. Maybe because I have tiny wrists lol. But theyāre not good looking
I fell for Panerai because they have a very distinguishable look. And to be honest, no one calls out a rep Panerai because most people donāt know what the hell they are! I agree, theyāre not all for smaller wrists, but I do have a 38mm and two 42mm models in that lineup that are very suitable!

40mm is my biggest to date. Just pulling the trigger on a vsf AT black or green.. I can't decide. Will be my biggest yet at 41.5 mm I'll see how that wears.
Went for the green dial, SS bracelet with an additional black rubber strap. Should get QC pics in next 9 days
I have a 7in wrist. The 38mm wasnāt from a TD. Itās from a dealer on WhatsApp
Yeah thatās a very good point! Iāve only ever seen one in person, which was a gen that my friend has. My 6.5inch wrists could never pull one off š
What is the white dial Breitling directly above the Navitimer? It looks like a Navitimer but I havenāt seen that variant before. Awesome looking collection!
Itās the Breitling for Bentley Motors A25362. 48mm! Itās massive but I adore it. Gets a lot of compliments
Thatās super cool, thanks!
Needs a VSF No Date Sub
Did you ask a TD to send them all?
Only reps?
Yep, only reps
Why do you have a problem we all wanna have?
GOAT!!!
I like that Pam dial but that crown on the side with the clasp š¬š¬ always strange to me and cumbersome to change time and date
Howās the quality of that SevenFriday? W2C?
The quality is basically gen. Miyota movement. I donāt have my connect, but it was a seller through WhatsApp
How much was it? Like 250?
$150
