8848 Factory?

[israelodysseus]

Hey all, very interested in the 8848 27mm Panthere. In photos it looks good to my untrained eye and the specs all seem to match Gen more closely than others. Is there anything noticeably off with these watches? I’m new here and still trying to get a hold of all the nuance. I appreciate any input.

My best,
Thanks

Hi, I think the main difference is the back of the watch. on the new ones it looks like on the attached screenshot. Some of BVF version have it, some not, but 8848 did it in wrong way based on the screenshots from TDs.

Fantastic info. I’ve ordered an 8848 from my TD. Would you mind if I send you some of the QC to get your take. Especially of the back.

From what I see on gen this look’s correct to me.

Yes, of course, it is correct. I meant before that the newer model (middle size/36.51 mm x 28.7 mm) steel/ yellow gold has an additional new gold element on the back compared to the older middle size model.
