What is the differences between this 622 and 372? (Beside crown guard and case type)

It is very hard to choose from all of the Panerais. All are good looking. Thanks for the pics and review

622 is sapphire crystal, 372 is domed plexi. and of course 622 is solid caseback, 372 is display caseback. dial-wise, apart from the obvious "radiomir panerai" on 622 which is printed vs "luminor panerai" which is engraved in 372, the bottom of the dial on 622 says "L SWISS MADE L" vs "L SWISS L" on 372.

622 and 372 are completely different watches. They pay homage to the classiscs but that is it. only thing they have in common is the movement (genwise)

For the those considering going vintage with a 622 caseset, it is the best match for a 6152 transitional..

399, 622, 6152, 6154

Definitely.. will take a little more but very easy to get.. I remember the days when the silix fat 6154 was one of the few options.. this is just awesome

Thanks Polonus
Nice review and nice watch. Congrats

I know you have made a very good and hard job with Joshua and KW to get this rep. I can imagine your disappointment when you saw the wrong minute hand, fortunately already corrected.

The rep seems high level, Sandwich dial looks awesome with deep cutouts and well defined, hands and CP are really good, crystal looks impressive with its simple AR, Crown is nice and it s a pity a bit small logo, caseback looks awesome in accuracy and quality. Overal finish of the case is the usual from KW and the result is really nice.
It is a shame the wrong position of lug holes. I don't understand why maker have not corrected this position in many rep 1940 cases.

The gen-like appearance is really good and I thnik KW has made a good job.

Bearing in mind the little flaws regarding crown logo and lug holes position I can agree with an evaluation of Super rep bordering lower status
Or at least Frist class rep bordering Super rep status in case we find some other little flaws

Thanks again

So here is a rookie question. Will a Swiss 6497 movement accept the hands on the 622?

The minute hand is an easy tell. The correct one has a small ending (like in the pic from Polonus) and the first (wrong) one was just straight. ;-)
