Not a Pam guy but I own a Gen America's cup Tag and these grab me for personal reasons. Same price but the V6F looks to have the embossed strap correct. Any thoughts appreciated

You are correct in saying that the V6F version has the America's Cup logo on the strap whereas the SF version doesn't. The presence of the logo on such a special edition watch is important since it sets itself apart from the other PAMs out there.

However that is not the only difference. The logo on the caseback is a bit better on the SF version, with the handle of the trophy better shaped (the taper is just slightly more pronounced). The V6F is using a properly decorated P.9010 clone, while SF is using a P.9010 with the same functions as the gen P.9000 movement, whichever is more important is up to you. Millesimation on the SF is also wrong as it is an S-series which denotes 2016.The V6F is using T which is correct for 2017.

So for all of those differences, I would say the V6F is a better buy, for me anyway.

Waited for what? You never know if the factories are going to fix something, sometimes they update for minor changes and sometimes the update happens with a significant difference to the previous version.

If it really bothers you, there is always M2M.

Maybe the second hand position of V6 is a little flaw is it is easily vsible , but the wrong caseset of SF is not acceptable

Hi guys! Looking to buy my first Panerai rep as I have fallen in love with the Americas cup version. I think the V6F version is the bes, due to a better movement then the SF. Am I correct? Also, checked in with my TD and found they have two identical versions, for two different prices. One is this: http://www.intime01.co/panerai/3572...ition-on-thick-black-leather-strap-p9010.html
And the other is this: http://www.intime01.co/panerai/3536...ition-on-thick-black-leather-strap-p9010.html
The first one is priced at $258,- the other at $308,- Does anyone know why?

Price difference is due to different movements. They are identical in every other way.

$258 version has 23J Asian
$308 version has A7750 Valijoux

Ok, Thank you. But both watches claims to have the same A7750 movement. Perhaps just a mistake by Intime?
