Wow Drulee, you have incredible knowledge of this brand. Thanks for the pics and info. I do like the blue hands on the gen. The second hand and 3 o'clock subdial on my rep have blue hands, but they are a different shade, and go from black to blue depending on the light reflection.
I sort of decided that for now, I am not going to focus too much on accuracy of the rep, and instead just buy what looks good to me. Some of the reps I have on the way are pure fantasy reps, others are closer to the gen. I suspect I will get to a point where accuracy is more important, but right now, I am just having fun buying a bunch of reps in the $120-$220 range.
I work in an industry where you would think people would be more knowledgeable about watches, but barely anyone even knows of the Panerai brand. They only really know Rolex and Omega. I never try to pass off my reps as gens, but my co-workers would never know if I did not tell them.
