I dunno ... looks pretty decent to me. Discoloration and patina stains won't matter a fig once you get a good mount of tarnish on it and the green stuff starts growing. The 15-30-45 markers are relatively well aligned and that's usually the reason most people reject. Do you have a pic of the crown showing whether it's the skinny or regular crown ?
It's your call though ...

The ding is more noticeable in the second pic as what appears to be a fat crown but all this is moot if you've already rejected this example.
Having said that ...I could sooner live with a ding than a misaligned 15-30-45 marker .. you'll get a few dings yourself after a while but crooked markers will never re-align themselves ;)

Would somebody please post the overall dimensions of the bronzo? Lug tip to tip, 9 side to crown guard end?

I need to figure out how this sits on my wrist. It is a big watch and might be different in overall dimensions from other 47mm's.

In terms of area, it does not vary that much from other 47mm Panerai. But in thickness and weight, there is a considerable difference.

Thanks mysterio - so is lug to lug 55mm?
Another Q, ALE recommends KW-V6F version. Are KW & V6F the same factory?

Don't have a submersible nor a ruler with me but 55mm sounds about right. KW and V6F are one and the same.

Thanks - 55mm would be the max which will fit on my wrist.
If you could spare a few seconds to look at link below, they dont mention factory of the unit at the bottom. Would that also be a V6F? Would price difference of $328 - 398 be the difference in price of movement?

Okay, got my Bronzo and a caliper out. :lol: It's 56mm from lug end to lug end and then 54mm from edge of CG to the opposite side of the case.

On your link, I can't say that's a KW/V6F version as the crown guard does not have the chamfering that its known for but neither does it have the chamfer on the bezel that the ZF version has. It's an older release (around 2014) compared to the updated KW V3 and ZF V4 last June 2015. Ask your TD regarding the KW/V6F but with the A7750 movement instead of the Seagull ST2555.

And on the last question, yes, it has been established that the ST2555 Seagull powered reps (or so called Lite) are cheaper than their A7750 powered counterparts.

If you can wait probably a month or so, the PAM382 with the correct placement of the balance wheel @7 movement will probably be released soon by VSF.

Wow, who did you order it from? As I'm still learning, does it all look correct on the front as well as the back?
