Excellent review. Thanks for sharing it.

Don't blame yourself for being so anal.. there is always somebody worst than you.. in example myself.. lol. I rate that rep as 4, half point less than you.

 

[lovepanerai]

thanks - I should probably mention that my rating is based on other replicas available and not on the gen - If I would base it on the gen I would have to give it a 3 and most other replicas would probably get a 2 - 2.5 :wink:

Beautiful! Thanks for the review and pics, I'm still debating whether to buy this or wait for the Ultimate North Pole.

 

[lovepanerai]

from what I can tell the NorthPole will exhibit the same flaws since it is the same maker
