My comments from the other thread, updated in light of hasat's pictures:
- The satiné soleil (sunburst) on the dial needs to be stronger like ZF's 605.
- The engraved text color is off and is noticeable more than usual as it doesn't match the fleur-de-lys color.
- Engravings look decent, from a distance. What can you expect for a couple of hundred dollars?
- While the fleur-de-lys embossing looks decent on the strap, the gen doesn't look like its an assolutamente strap.
- Decent decorations on the newer version of the P3000 movement; the screw placements are closer to gen than the previous P3000SC, however the engravings are however not as deep or precise. Moreover the separation between the plates of the new P3000 look bad. I would suggest welding a plate under the 'supposed' plates to make it closer to gen.
- OFFERING A MINERAL CRYSTAL ON A $300+ PANERAI REP IS A NO-NO. MAKE IT POLY, MAKE IT SAPPHIRE BUT NOT MINERAL.

too bad, I was hoping that the 672 versions from both factories, ZF and SF were better.
Here just one example of the movement decoration. The SF is much better in that regard! Unfortunately, the rest of the watch is better in the ZF version e.g. the case engravings, dial, a bit of sunburst effect, dial lettering, bracelet.
The ZF doesn't even get the numbering right...if I see that correctly: #188 of 99?? LoL
So which version is better overall? What would you choose? Pestilence or Cholera? ...Neither IMHO!
Dissapointed!
