Panerai 690 any good?

[nardin]

Hey fellows
I read alot about all the versions(zf, kw, sf) and I understood that zf is the best version so far.
Overall it's a good rep? The blue dial is same as gen? It's super clone movement?

I have the ZF and generally speaking I am happy (except an issue with the crown - sometimes I cannot screw it down to the case completely). Movement is the usual P.3000 clone with the usual flaws. The dial has a more sunburst effect compared to the gen which also has a metallic texture (see http://watchesbysjx.com/2016/07/han...ir-1940-blue-dial-special-edition-pam690.html for good closeups).

Also the rep crystal gives a lot of distortion to outer edge of the numerals.

But it's a damn beautiful piece which gets a lot of compliments (get a real croc or shark strap) and I enjoy wearing it.

So long story short - if you want a blue Radiomir - go for itunk:
