This fresh news:

The dial looks nice with super luminova and the CG has the new good shape, and the lever has the roller ball, thus the pics doesn't allow to see if the watch has the Hex tube as the new 111j, hope so...

 

[jcrry2]

what do you mean a hex tube?

 

[Spboudart]

The new panerai model don't have a round crown tube but rather an hexagonal one, the recent rep of the 111j rep that part crrectly, i'll post pic in a minute.

 

[jcrry2]

ohh yes i remember seeing a pic before.

How does that rep stand up against a gen? I'm not savvy enough with Panerai's to conclude myself.

Is it just me or diesthw dial seem way too thin

It looks like the 111j where is the difference ?

I like it, but I think i'll have to wait till after X-mas to buy it. $888,888.00 would make me a bit short on my bills this milennium.

It looks like the 111j where is the difference ?

"This one goes to 11."

Sorry, I meant to say, this is a 177L with a titanium case.

gents plz excuse me for the following self pity party:

Gawdammit!!!!! I just got the 288k now I MUST have this one, too!

 

[BoBaLLoOo]

The only thing that bothers me is that the clasp on the crown guard isn't flush

 

[MMs]

define titanium?

Same Colour and grade of Titanium as per genuine, C1 + C3 Superluminova, No recess cannon pinion, Rollerball on Crown, Flush lug screws and crown guard lever pin with polish ends, Colourless AR coating , New Movt with accurate decorations.....individual L Series Nos and BB nos ....

Another best from the Pam 288 maker !!!!

sticker is the gen, no sticker is the rep.
this is a damn fine rep from the 288k factory.

@COLDI:

agree with ya, the dial plate seems a lil thin from some angles. that aside, theres an issue with the dagger on the movt thou. some things get improved while they screw up in other areas.

nonetheless its a real great looking rep and the factory is smart enough to take a stab at making even betta reps by starting on the Luminor Base models before they adventure to the more complex looking models.

 

[polaris]

This is GREAT!
Nice lume from factory, no need to buy a aftermarket crownguard, lever looks the best I've seen on a rep.
Sure the movement doesn't have a dagger, and the font is a bit thick, but it ticks most of the boxes on the bits you see when you wear.

I really want a 111 from this maker, but if there isn't one in the next month this *will* do

It really is good for $218!!

This maker kills the others for accuracy and LUME. Hope the others step up too on their new models.
