Same model we have been talking about the entire thread, 26240 although the suffix of the model number is CE for ceramic.
All dealers should have them readily available, but keep in mind we saw a couple of failed bracelets, so I can only assume many buyers are holding out until an official revision is made public.
For what it’s worth, the indices and bezel screw alignment on my qc was fairly good. Maybe i just got lucky. The rotor font also Looks sharp.
Doesn't bust my joy.
I've got several Genuine watches and can pretty much buy what I want, and look at reps as fun to try, wear, and explore.
I generally have had several APs , even a genuine that I bought before I found out about Reps. I just can't seem to fall in love with them..
Although I do like this version. I just don't find myself dressing up enough. My job is scrubs, OR, and clinic.
Your observation is true. I wish these were perfect as well.....
I love your attitude and echo your sentiment. I recently bought a gen limited edition Panerai, and the crown stem has some stickiness when trying to push it back in after setting the time. I asked all of my gen Panerai collector friends and 80% of them had a similar issue. One guy told me “chalk it up to Italian craftsmanship, you don’t complain when your Ferrari doors have panel gaps right?”
I replied to him I’ll let you know when I get one
All this to say, even gens can have their issues and that we shouldn’t take reps too seriously. Enjoy them for what they are, a fun reproduction at like a 2% cost
Non TD. I think you have asked repeatedly about the bracelet issue in one way or the other about a dozen times. Buy it as cheaply as possible and if the bracelet breaks, just buy a new bracelet from the factory. It's just a watch, it's not worth the fixation (no offense)

There’s this series I think it was Japanese but the main character made friends with a street fighter who protects him but he’s dumb as hell.
He gifted the guy a an AP offshore in gold and he didn’t know what to do with it so he used it as a brass knuckle
In the end of the movie he finally broke it , got gifted a nicer gold AP watch and he used it as a brass knuckle again lmao
And now I’m wondering why I’m sharing this in this thread and I think it’s because I see a lot of knuckle heads in the forum today.

I did ask people the same thing whenever someone posts something similar.
It’s called getting updated info.
“Just buy a new one”, easy to say when it’s not your money right? (No offense to you either)
No one knows until it breaks, that's the truth. I am not saying buy a new one, I am just saying buy it cheaply and if this issue will happen, get a a new bracelet with the money saved, or get a leather strap and wear both in rotation, limiting the chances of it breaking. Of course, it's your money, but I also bought it so I am just sharing my thought process.

They don't call it The Brick for nothing, LOL
It's here! Long journey to get here but I got it.
About to size it to get a better idea, but so far I think it's a good fit on my under 6.5" wrist. Noticed not a ton of links would be removed either curious why bracelet it so small.
The pictures are making it look too big! However in real life it does not hang over my wrist at all. Thickness is there, but not unmanageable.
Quality seems amazing. Maybe an updated rotor print??
What do yall think? Will post more after sizing it

Can we get some more confirmation if any other people have received the updated rotor? And this is the latest batch ?My caseback from QC:
I will take more photos soon, but essentially looks better in real life. Did not size it, but yeah comes down to comfort, and thankfully with the thinner bracelet it should be OK
Fingers crossed, as I am just sitting to dinner and will go to "work" on it soon
