I understand what you guys are saying about it feeling unfinished compared to the gen. Let the factories crank out a few hundred of them. The end product will get better.

The Gen carbon pattern looks like the old Noob GP [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

It looks pretty bad. I mean why buy something that is a dead giveaway, Its maybe the worst rep I have ever seen, even worse than a $50 rep . Most bad reps can pass for a gen from a decent distance but this will give it away from a few feet. It looks nice and im sure what its made out of caused the price to be so high but why put that out there knowing u absolutely struck out. If that was a homage I would likely buy it but not with Panerai on it

Well like the website says it's a fun release. V6F probably knew how bad it looked from an accuracy perspective. People will buy what they want, irregardless of what we tell them, and the factories know that. So buy it if it interests you and don't if you're looking for something else. Did you mean you'd buy it for 500$ if it had no markings?

Agreed! I dislike the gen zebra pattern and love V6 factories "fantasy" version and can't wait to rock this piece by the pool and beach all summer long, Long Live Forged Carbon!!! [emoji23]

See? :) I for one, prefer accuracy so I would wait for the zebra pattern (although at the moment the two shade striations are giving me pause as the gen has at least three levels of shades). If I did have the cash, I'd probably get the marble FC PAM, just for "fun". :D

Oh no what I mean and i should have explained is if it were done and priced as a homage i would give it a go. I completely understand people will buy it but at $500 i dont think thats to much fun when u are wearing something that tells everyone its a fake. I do agree it looks nice and i do like the watch but personally $500 for something I know is destined for a V2 and more is to much for my already low budget.

A new P9000? Didn't see that bit of the announcement on H-factory's part.
