[carlitosway]

Hi Friends,
what are you think about, is this piece gen or rep ? For me its looks Genlike but i need a second opinion...





Thank you very much !
best regards,
carlito

I would say it's a very good rep. I don't think Panerai makes a movement like that.

can you please explain why ?

the INCABLOC looks for me good and the micro-regulation screw is long enough.
the horns on balance wheel looks also good and OFFICINE PANERAI letters are not too bold like gen.
Case shape is also curved and good finished like gen.
The Position of REG. Engraving is perfect !
For me is this piece a Gen ! But i need a second expert opinion

This watch is a gen
Movement and case are clearly gen. NO DOUBTS !!

See Swan Neck spring, micrometric screw, Incabloc and lyre spring, teeth and beveled of the wheels, wheels screws, brushed gear train, quality of the bridges and OP engraving, nice polished jewels contours.....
For the case see the cushion shape that goes until the caseback in the inner part of the lugs. No rep case has this shape beteewn the lugs
