PAM 217 available again – Susan Reviews on Replica Watches

Like the PAM 127, the PAM 217 remains highly sought after, both representing classic Panerai designs that retain vintage characteristics. Previously discontinued, these models have been reintroduced by XF factory. While multiple manufacturers like ZF and Noob once produced PAM 127 replicas, the PAM 217 was exclusively made by Noob until its unavailability. XF’s revival of the PAM 217 is excellent news for enthusiasts seeking a left-handed Panerai.

The PAM 217 stands out with two key features: its left-positioned crown bridge, perfect for right-wrist wearers, and its iconic domed sapphire crystal—also seen in the PAM 127. This genuine domed crystal enhances its vintage appeal.

Measuring 47mm in diameter and 17.5mm thick, the PAM 217 is a substantial timepiece, even bulkier than most VS factory Submersible replicas. Its black sandwich dial includes a small seconds subdial at 3 o’clock and skeletonized hour markers with prominent 3-6-9-12 numerals. The luminous hands and markers emit a vivid green glow in the dark. A see-through case back showcases the meticulously decorated manual-winding 6497 movement.

XF’s replica comes with a black leather strap, though swapping bands is effortless—a hallmark of Panerai’s appeal for customization enthusiasts.
