The new bridges of Gen P.3000 make more evident the gen gear train.
The NON-visible gear train of the P.3000 Clone was the more obvious tell of this rep movement. With the new bridges the rep movement will be much less accurate than current one
I like this new 622, because RP engraving is closer to old gen from 1940. Hope makers will find this radium-burnt light brown dial color in workshop. This is much more sexy than the 587.
The new gen bridges are made to get a more complicated look for the more "simple" old P.3000
I don't agree with the new movement being easier to assemble than old one.
It is of course much more difficult to be repped, since more bridges are implicated to be fitted, and mainly because the gear train is more visible and rep movement has no gear train in this position.
I agree with memstar: Lighter brown colour of the dial is remembering the vintage radium burnt dials
The gen is a beauty and very much what the Paneristi were asking for. I have put my name down for a gen, along with a 663. With a 1000 run of each I'm confident I can get hold of both, but both will be in high demand based on the buzz over at p.com.
I prefer the 622 case. But I ******* love the color of this dial. If they get the color of the dial right on this rep I'd be stoked and go for the 663 instead or buy this dial and pop it in a 622
as I started this thread myself, I would like to see some update here.
The newly launched PAM663 and PAM662 have been released and the stock is slowly rolling into TD stalls for customers to pick them up.
Here is the first pic from P.com´s famous photo-talent Martin:
So now let´s hear your opinion and thoughts about it .... will we see this piece rep´ed any time soon?
Wonder why the factories are slower than normally ... happened to see the rep first before the gen released!
To be honest I do have a recent affinity for panerai but I prefer to see a more refined piece like the 42mm or the newly announced slimmer designs.
Now I don't know the technical specs of this , but going off the aesthetics , This kind of looks a little bland to me and dare I say , nothing I haven't already seen from them before.
