Panerai 111N V3 crown guard

[Hamptons28]

I know I've already asked a few of you, so this might seem crazy for posting it. But does anybody notice the larger than normal gap(s), or am I just crazy? Maybe the flaws are small, but I ordered the N rather than the H for a reason.

Thanks for the post, so what I am seeing is normal?

The Noob one looks better than gen, but just the lever is not smooth than Gen, the Noob CG is a bit tighten than gen, anyway it's not a big deal imho.

Noob 111 is already very very good. Wear it well my friend.

I have the same issue with my v3 111. I did not se them on the v2. Some batches are better then others. Its not a PAM gen factory so there will be tolerances when making theese. But remember theese faults are so tiny, just enjoy your watch. Noone will notcie..

If something this minute (that no one will ever notice while the watch is on your wrist and in the wild) is going to bother you, you might consider not buying any more reps. Any rep will always have some imperfection. Heck, even the gens show them from time to time.

Just enjoy your watch and don't sweat the small stuff.

I apologize for being insane and posting this thread. It's just that I got scammed by one of those replica sites and wanted to make sure I was getting a top quality rep this time. I'm a very indecisive person, wont happen again. icard:
