I want the best PANERAI clone ever made 1:1

The best thing for me on this subject is that I’ve been in this “game” about 3-4 years now (I know, I’m a total baby compared to y’all) and I almost only buy Pam’s.

Yet, I have zero idea which of my reps are closest to gen... it WAS important to me in the beginning. I definitely wanted to pass off a Panerai as real and claim some bragging rights, without actually paying for the real thing.

But at some point I forgot that part and now just have an incredible amount of fun exploring models, versions and history. Like the term “radiomir”. I only learned where it came from this year....

These days, certain details (non-sunken subdials, wrong colors etc) will make me ditch a watch, but whether or not it’s really accurate, I don’t know/care too much about.

My oldest rep, a noob 372, was pretty cheap. I think it looks very much like the gen, but I’ve never cared enough to actually compare two pictures. Too much effort and details for my poor little brain.

In one of the first posts, the answer was given. And even this was not possible to understand and appreciate ...

I don't get it. This happened before with some dude who came in here saying "I have a ton on gens but I bought a rep".

After he got his answer I asked "why is it the newcomers always have a ton of gens?" and the whole forum jumped up and down on me for "being rude" and not answering questions thay had already been answered. Including mods.

Honestly though...after this thread, I wouldnt change a damn thing around here. Yeah we can rant about the foozles signing up just to get pissy when we dont serve their immediate Freudian obsessions...but, fuggit, I had a hard week at work...this plonker comes on here, and Im just like "oh yes, time to vent"...dont change a thing, mods....these dumb twits are target practice for the rest of us.

Maybe he was referring to the best panerai clown (not clone) 1:1, which he must have been and is still...

If he wasn't so obnoxious, he might have found out that he could have bought a Marlin moded 6497 and happily called it a day, or a 318 which would just about be gen with a cheap Swiss movement swap or even a H Fac 87 which is actually better finished than a gen......oh well, dumb fucker

I could not get the translation of the text from the link, what is this factory?

I apologize, everyone understood, this is a noob. Not a bad 005, but the sausage made by XF and HF is better done in my opinion. Although, perhaps they will fix it to some extent ....
