Hi all!

I just got a Panerai 00683 and I would like to share some pics. Note that I only found out this forum after i got this watch, and the information I collected and TD I used was on another forum. This TD is not listed in this forum but it is listed in the other one, so you may know who it is - I have no problem in disclose if someone asks.

This is my first Panerai and I never hold the gen model, so I cannot elaborate much on my comments.

There is still some glue of a sticker in the B,L and E letters. I need to remove it.

There is a dent on the "lever". I didn't detected this in the QC, as this "lever" was on the closed position.

General Comments:
  • it seems on the rotating bezel, the 15 and 45 marks are not exactly aligned with the 9oclock and date
  • I can hear clear the movement shacking if I tap the watch. It seems the movement is small for the size of the case, if this makes sense. I didnt open the case, but this is adverted as VS "VS 9010 Automatic Movement, 28800bph Same Spec as per Genuine". I read that in some Panerais this noise is normal, but it really seems too much to me. It makes the the watch feels cheap.
  • Date can bet set via hour hand
Sorry for the short review, but I don´t have knowledge to elaborate much more. I will humble receive all your comments and advice for the future.
