The QC pics that I posted come from Ken (psychospike) so the watch is from ZF...one question though...

are there any other versions out there widely available from the trusted dealers?
why are we talking about different makers?

Great case. Did you ask for a picture showing the dial's sunburst effect? That seems to be what we're yet to put to rest at this point.

that's a good point...I'm gonna email my TD , asking about more photos...;)

The engravings looks better than expected.

I agree with Chris
I'm impressed by the quality
But, besides some inaccuracies, it is still far from the quality, definition, sharpness and details of the GEN, OF COURSE

You sure you got the Rep/Gen labelling correct on those pictures? The rep seems to have better detail and character than the gen! [emoji15]

And since all the gens are supposedly individually handcrafted, no two will be exactly the same.

wow you got QC pics already?
I ordered from puretime and they said it will be in stock about 11th April, so another 2 weeks wait for me...

I think it's a winner for me too. I love the Radio 36×× case and sunburst dial.

Whoa! Out of stock already? That was quick. Looks like there's more love than hate for the watch. I checked my junk folder and found QC photos sent hours ago! Will be tough to reject this watch, not that there's any reason to.

This watch looks stunning. The engraving is even more sharp then on GEN. I read that Panerai factory spends one week for engraving - how the hell are the REP factories doing this?

Can't wait to see QCs of mine from PT....

Yup, I order from Puretime and waiting for stock to come in as well :(

Did PT say it will be 1-2 weeks for stock to you as well?
pretty sure the rep factories have it automated on a cnc machine, so it will be fast with minimal errors. Whilst panerai hire artisans to hand engrave this so it's much slower and also one mistale, and the whole case is scraped, and they start again.

I ordered when it was first posted on PT just got the QC today so it took a few days but i can say the photos are very promising nice quality overall this watch cannot be 100% since the engravings on the gen are hand done and all 99 will be slightly different but overall it looks good

I'm not a fan of this watch, but the rep engravings are very impressive!

I wouldn't mind buying that buckle separately. Will look cool as hell by it self.
