PAM 1226 [SBF]

[Kleineronkl]

Guys, this morning i wind up my PAM1226 and notice the hour and min arm was off. When i line up the min arm to 12 oclock mark, the hr arm looks like 20 mins into the future.

Had the same problem with my 984. F**** Clone Movement . My watchmaker reset the hands.

Yup, this is an easy fix.

Nothing new in reps, should be an easy fix for a watchmaker.

BTW I saw the gen 1226 2-3 days ago at AD. The lume on the indices looked slightly yellow. Not as much as what I see on the pics of the rep here but almost as much. It is certainly a bit yellow even though the pictures of the gen on the internet don't reflect this. Just wanted to chime in for anyone that may be worried.

A lot of the pics of on the Panerai website are ”touched“ up..

Must be! But yeah this is also something I wanted to check when I had the gen in hands and seems it's nothing to worry about.

I know the thickness of 2mm for 1226 or 1239 genuine and replica is almost naked to the eye.

Like most bros said, this is a replica.
For a novice like me, what could the additional 2mm attributed to?
Only if there are other factories that can address and beautify their masterpieces further.

I bought the SBF 1226 so I could make the decision to buy the genuine I had waiting for me at the P boutique. I ended up buying the genuine 1226 bc I loved it so much





The SBF is a good example but lacked the form quality feel of the genuine. The bezel was a little “tappy” and the lug finishing wasn’t there. The thicker case/case back also was a huge difference. The genuine wears super thin versus the replica models

I have placed order for a PAM 1229 and will keep all posted. Bought 2 watches from TD.

Moderators, I have a couple of questions for my Omega QC pics. Where can I ask for opinions please?

@Houstonanonymous8 Is this gen??

I ask because the dial font is thin on the SBF versus the renders. If gen is like that then that’s interesting.

Yes it’s 100% genuine purchased from the Houston galleria boutique

Thank you for confirming. It’s a gorgeous piece. It makes me feel much better about the very thin dial text on the 1226 by SBF. I picked up a PAM1070 from SBF at the same time where the font is much thicker. The difference is stark. It was really bugging me until I saw your pictures. I had to make sure.
