Hi guys,

I would need your opinion on the photos below. I recently purchased this PAM111n v3 from Trevor.

However i noted the crown guard to be different from the v3 teardown review.

I was excited when i unwrapped the package but got disappointed with my first rep purchase after looking through the details.

I'm pretty sure the roller bearing in there is supposed to be there on a 111N. Is that teardown of gen CGs?

At least your dial is correct!

no need to be disappointed, the roller bearing is correct for the 111n v3, you got a fine watch there.

The teardown review doesnt show the roller bearing as per the teardown of CGs review.

Dial is fine but the crown guard was really disappointing.

Jquick did you ask for a replacement dial, looks like you got the wrong one.

Jquick: yes mine is also noob v3. but looking at your CG, its not as obvious as mine.

Genoint: In what way is Jquick's dial faulty? The font looks yellowish?

I would say the stripdown review of PAM111 would need to update images on the CG from Noob factory. The current noob v3 CG doesnt look like Gen CG at all but more like H factory CG. I guess I have to hunt for CG parts now...

First rep purchase and you are disappointed by this? Come on, how anal can you be on your watches. Especially since this is supposed to be this way, i pray you didnt harass the TD with it.

OP, google "panerai 111N" and look for a watchuseek.com page for a person selling their 111N. CG looks like yours.

Your dial is correct, your CGs are correct. You have nothing to worry about!

Now, worry about your incabloc, MS screw, and other issues more than your CG.

First rep? I wish this had been my 'first rep' years and some dough ago. If you worry about the inca and all movement issues you can always sell yours and go for the real super-rep 111n made by M...., just a thought.

Jquick, i think your dial is wrong, "2" in 12 is incorrect

I am afraid that you have the last good dial before the correct v3 ones. There is a thread about this. Your 2 for starters has a too stubby foot.
