... My Cherry Pannie

Just made the order a few minutes ago. Can't wait to see it already! How long would it take to arrive, I wonder...

I was so exhilarated that I actually sent him $500... that's $200 too much! Waiting for him to send back that $200 to me.

my 195 took 3 weeks to oklahoma. you might contact him and make sure you get the correct L swiss L dial. somebody at trc just got one and it had the wrong dial.

Mine's arrived sometime ago, but at my parents' house. I'm picking it this weekend - can't wait.

I love that unboxing of the watch - we should have a section for photos just like that. Almost like watch pron!

Does this have super dial lume, or just super lume on the hands?

It's a gread looking watch.

Super lume only on the hands. The gen does not have super lume on the dial.

... more pics from a pannie-noob.

Just to compare this rep vs a gen (pic taken from Paneristi)

How good is the font on this Davidsen? Still not as thick as the gen, is it? Take a look at the '6'.

I think I won't be doing justice when the shots are at slightly different angles, but the font used on Davidsen's still look slightly thinner when doing a side-by-side. On its own, I didn't know. Davidsen's fonts are just so defined I actually thought the gen would be just like this.

Ok I stand corrected. Like I mentioned... I'm a pannie noob.

But hey, thanks for the info. Now I feel so much better about the font, coz I liked it in the first place :D

With the wide range of variations of the original Panerai watches who the hell will be ever sure looking at Davidsen's version that it is a rep? Different production time of the same original model and the font or the dial or something else is different from the previous run. We are our worst enemy with this constant nitpicking i see on many boards. It's an awesome watch seraphe. Don't let a few pictures ruin that for you.
