I think this is how the new V12 is from Noob.

I don't think you asking for another watch will get you lower U and O.

With that said, U and O do look a bit high.

Pic of gen I found:

I currently do not have a 111, but my 005 dial's U and O do line up with the top of other texts in LUMINOR.

Why would they take something that was ok and mess it up? No one has ever complained about the “luminor marina” insignia, maybe the shade, but that’s about it. Are these hand made one by one?

Actually, some rep factories have messed up the font on "A" before in the past. But I agree. Idk why Noob went and messed up the U and O this time (especially the O). They had them right before.

At OP, I would personally swap this out to another panerai model (but don't reject it for another v12 Noob though - you will likely get another set of QC pics with the same issue).

Noob doesn't deserve our money for making a careless mistake like this on the font that they had it correct before. Just my 2 cents.

Thank you guys.
I am leaning towards Pam111 XF. I see no major issues and good reviews with the latest version. Seems like it just isnt so widespread as noob that a lot of people would praise it.

Only Noob V12 or newer are allowed on that thread, so no need to indicate the factory (since only Noob is allowed), just the version (as long as it's V12 or newer). Also the link from where the watch was purchased.

Thanks mysterio for the clarification

Ok cool , Do you think its good ? I decided on the XF/VSF One because of this dial print thing with the last two letters on the noob one and am happy with it. The anti reflective coating is not very apparent though.
