I was polite and asked if I could have an exchange, listed the issues, and he said it was perfectly fine and that he would honor my request. But he has a one swap rule per transaction. If the second one doesn't cut it, you either have to accept it, choose the last pull (choice between two choices), if you pull the sale he will no longer do business with you. Luckily the second pull was much better quality.

They look too yellow to me, might be lighting. I fear that I will have to replace the hands. No?
Nope. The seller was using two side by side to show the quality of the watch. He said it was to ensure that the batches were of the same quality.
I'm not. Is that not allowed on this forum? I can remove my posts if they are against the rules. This is where we post QC shots, right? I'm new...
It's fine. I did ask you to post your QC pics here, just to clarify what you think are issues. If you believe the seller that you are getting watches from the same batch with that picture, then I have a bridge I would like to sell you. :lol:
As for your question on the hands, they're the least of your worries. The lume does look yellow compared to the lume on the indices on the gen but the hands are wrong for a PAM127, LP text is wrong color, indices are too weak, CG is wrong. No to mention, nobody would have a special edition PAM like the PAM127 PVDed/DLCed.
Ok, lemme see if I am picking up the watch lingo.
LP text if the Luminor Panerai
Indices are the slashes between the numbers (tick marks)
CG is...?

Good thing it's only $60
Good thing for the lucky seller. I wouldn't pay $50 for it. But that's just me.
Well, if I had no other watch, I would probably use it. Good thing I have other watches.
Oh. I mean, are you ragging on me because you're a rep watch God and I'm a noob so I don't know crap from good? I mean....I come from Timex walmart watches, and honestly I wanted something nice...ish to wear and it looked ok, I guess, to me. Are there any mods I can do to make it more authentic? Or just keep it and maybe dissect it later? Once I get it. Like, point of reference, you're around reps all the time, so you can tell the difference, I was comparing it to gens and I only noticed a few issues. I mean, unless you take a jewelers eye to it, would it still be...ok? I was learning all about swan neck, and the Y mod, and proper jewel reflections, and AR coating, and spring bar lengths, and fake swan screws, etc. I mean, no offense, but if people invest this much time in trying to make a rep look like a gen...why not buy a reduced price gen? *waits to get flogged*
