This certainly does not look like a 382.

?f anything, this does not look even like a 1950 case. It has straight lines and curves, like a modern case.

Also the crown looks wrong, the crown guard is certainly wrong as it is straight cut with no REG TM written on it.

And the bezel looks too thin.

As you can see, the crowns height must be BELOW the bezels height.

But here it looks like they have the same height.

Doesn't look like a known replica either, somebody get Sly's number and wake his ass up.

The proportion of CG to crown looks wrong as well, crown looks too big in dia.

The bezel is non rotational.

This is a stunt watch. Google it. They are used all the time in action films.

No matter how much money sly has, isn't risking that Bronzo for the movie.

If they had used a good replica this thread would never have started. ;)

"stunt watch" = polite way of saying fake.

What if Panerai made them to be used in this movie from diffrent scrap parts they had, are they still fake? They gave this guy few hundred scrap dials to use in his painting so why not?

Except if the prop has been made by Panerai, then it's a genuine stunt? :screwy: :D

Panerai would have just given them another gen, why would they supply an unconvincing fake? What's a bronzo to Pam, maybe a grand?

I can say nothing different to COLDI, Kaniel, Frig and Neskio (BTW very good analysis from Neskio)

It is very obvious is not a PAM 382 Bronzo (as said by above mentioned members)
-The case is not a 1950 case
-The bezel is thinner and maybe non rotational
-The CG is completely different : different shape, smaller, thinner , without engravings, rounded edges...

And by myself:
-See the hands: they are skeleton, but the bars of the hands are not parallel, they are converging to the central axle, very noticeable in hours hand. Bronzo hands are parallel.

I don't know who is the maker or the model but it is completely sure that IT IS NOT AT ALL A PAM 382 BRONZO !!!

Come on do you really think that they would wear gen knowing that most than likely it will get destroyed, I have been on a few movie set and trust me when I say just about everything that stars wear while making a movie are always rep of the real think as they don't care how it gets while filming.
