There are two major flaws on the cartel version that most are pointing to..
1. The "Luminor Panerai" engraving is not deep enough. In the gen with the pics I took you could see the indentation of the engraving. The font is also a tad thinner than the gen.
2. The movement on this watch is completely wrong. I didn't post because I was too lazy to take a pic of something that is very obvious when you see it.
3. I will also point out the hands. There is something about the gen hands that the these hands don't really capture. The gen hands a real rose gold and a tad thicker at least to my eyes. I even think the the lume area on the gen is not as wide.

Just got my QC photos from Sora(like 5 minutes ago), ordered a new Bob's strap a couple of days ago for it. Now the wait beginsopcorn:

I just got mine a couple hours ago. Been on my wrist since. Lovely watch and screams GEN. Even with the flaws, I love it. Still, how many of us with a rep will ever bump in to someone wearing a GEN at the same time. This isn't a Rolex sub. =D

Latest comparisons of CG
I have arranged and enlarged some CG pics for a comparison
Thickness at CG PIN side
- PT is just a bit thinner and Cartel is a bit thicker, almost no noticeable difference even with enlargement. Orange lines are placed at the same distance of GEN in three pics.
Lever PIN diameter
- There are seemingly some differences but it is a lighting effect. I think all three Lever PIN diameters are the same. See green lines
Lever PIN position
- PT has the PIN placed clearly inwards. Due to this reason maybe the CG seems thinner around the PIN
- Cartel version has the Lever PIN placed a illtle lower. See green lines
Roller Support
- PT roller support is a little thinner
- Cartel roller support is a little thicker
Engravings fonts and placements
- There are some differences between batches. I have seen some differences in QC pics and Wristshots
- Cartel and PT have bad placement of engravings in general
- Fonts are inaccurate. Mainly "R" is very noticeable.
- Following my experience with all pics observed, Pt has better fonts and worse placement overall.
