If you ask me, no. Lume is too green and inscriptions are too brown. Dial is also not as black as it should be but with a slight brown tint. Still better than I had or it can be just the bright lightning.

That was my take on the kw/V6 as well. Mine also had a stubby minute hand with that new stupid CP cap that looks weird. If they fix those issues I would be very happy as they have the better watch.

Guys guys guys, have you ever seen this watch in person? I took the following picture directly off the Panerai website and look how green the lume is and creamy the lettering, just like mine. Don't judge by looking at iphone pictures...

Let's consider this:
There's different font color tonalities with the v6f version
The present picture in the Officine Panerai catalog shows a mild beige tone on the dial inscription and a similar green lume (hard to judge this one based on pics because it is Luminova after all)
The real question now is if ALL present 312's from this factory are shipped with the mild beige tone, similar to gen since we already know the rest of the watch construction, materials and symmetry is spot on.

Before accepting this one, with beige tone, I had QC pictures of a another one, which ended up missing a screw and rejected. That one also had the correct beige tone. So, 2 out of 2 were correct on that.... That leads me to think they are doing that part right nowadays...

You should know that those are not real life photos but renderings. I think that the purpose of green is just to show that there is a lume... And yes I've seen several in a person and that's why i think that you have not seen a single one.

[MENTION=83766]PaMister[/MENTION] Yes, you are right. I have seen many PAMs on my trips to Antwerp, Paris and Marbella, but I never came across a 312, neither have I been able to put a gen 312 next to the rep, that would be the ultimate test to check accuracy, instead of all of us guessing by comparing pictures...
However I must add that your statement of the dial being brownish is false. I checked under various light circumstances and not a hint of brown on the dial. This effect must be caused by the picture if you see brown.

I use to had that rep and dial in that one had a slight brown tint, I still have plenty of pics of it. It's good if they have changed that in a later patches.

Bad movement (ST2555) and very inaccurate dial, also crown guards screws were ripped... other than that it was a great watch with great gen like feeling....

Excellent input thanks just slightly contradictory to this entire site rwi

Mate, what did you expect? You buy a REPLICA watch for 200-300$ from a illegal Chinese Factory.
And you ask for nearly invisible flaws at the BACK SIDE of the watch???

Looks like the watch is PAM328
Those highlighted areas are grooves for SS Bracelet...
Hope that helps :)
