Many people know i own genuine and i used to own this baby with a large price tag on it and boy am i glad i sold it , cause this rep is almost perfect match to it, i never like asians but this one is too close , i was scared from the pics i have seen of it but then i had to pull the trigger, paul and joshua r the ones that i know off right now that have it in stock, for a very good price, i was expecting some crap but it was not
pros- case and bezel r almost perfect , crown guard is very well done, dial is well perfect, i am amazed how exact it really is, hour markers r brighter than my genuine so no need for relume on this one, even the tswisst on the dial is almost perfect, carbon fiber dial is almost exact, talk about bang for the buck here it is , the rubber deployment is excellent made and same softness as my genuine one, second hand sweep is almost perfect for asian movment,caseback isnt bad at all with nice engraving and just about the same as genuine(some font is a wee bit smaller on genuine ) , if it had papers and the nice special edtition box it would fool most
cons- asian auto, but it is the newer eta copy version so it may hold up better, but im still not sold on them lol, the crown is better than some i have seen but being picky i have to put mine on them when i get them done, weight seems to be about right maybe a tad light but not really noticeable,datefont and cyclops r weak like most but the cyclops is bigger in diameter more like the genuine size just not as clear and bright if u know what i mean, bezel is snug but a bit louder compared to my genuine one
overall , definitely a keeper and a very nice piece if u like subs in panerai, i missed my genuine but not anymore this one is just as good and most of the flaws can be fixed , the best replica sub pam out by far, even the finish on the bezel is pretty darn good, it does need to be more shiney and satin but that is something that is fixable for sure , enjoy the pics

the genuine on the wrist
