Panerai Luminor submersible 508 QC picture advice

[sourcegrafik]

Hi everyone, I hope this is the right place to post this query.
I am a replica watch noob, but have ordered the above watch through a trusted dealer that my brother has bought from in the past and been VERY happy with.
However, what should I be looking for in these pics, seems everything is as expected but any advice you can give would be appreciated.

Many thanks
H

45-15-date, and index at 12-30 are well aligned. The 508 v2 is a discontinued Pam, you should take it, the black pearl is a beauty !
and could you share your waterproof test please ? I would like to see the difference with a metal case if the mods are ok for it.

I’ve tested both my 508 and 617 to 6bar no problem, I imagine it could go higher but my tester max’s out at 6bar

What’s with that “CARBOTECH” on the caseback? I have never seen that before..should be “CERAMIC”

Thanks. And about the 616, I would like to know if it could be like some Ap Carbon Diver with some leaks on the carbon case.

Eagle eye there, yes shouldn’t say carbotech, that’s off of the 616

Wow, good catch ! My v2 has the correct CERAMIC on the caseback.
It should be an assembly from old parts from VSF as PT said me after CNY there is no more 508 available.

Completely missed that as I was hoping to get the carbotech version of this watch but then settled for the ceramic. Well spotted, thanks!!

This model being discounted, the “wrong” caseback is a minor weak point (flaw). You should accept that one imho..

Also tested fine

I highlighted it to the QC, if I can get the correct back then great, but I agree, it is a minor detail.

Thanks, everyone for the quick responses.

I will let you know how the first order goes, but overall I am very happy.... it is a beautiful watch... IMO

I checked mine because the Crown guard lever on this one is not touching the crown. (Check the tiny space on last pict)

On mine, the stem/crown has a spring and the lever push the crown to « seal » the case. It’s a little bit strange to see this tiny space on this one.

As the matter has already been discussed, I am closing this thread. However, be reminded that posting QC pictures without any specific concerns is expressly forbidden. Thank you.
