Well I'm about to pull the trigger on silix's 111h. I know some of you have this watch. And wanted to know from the experts on how the display movement with the panerai printing compares to the original. I know there is no swan neck and that does not concern me. I just want to know if there is a gen model that has the printing on the movement or should it be just the clean plain movement with the blue printing.

I'm not the expert but I believe the 111H is fairly plain with small blue printing. The 111G on the other hand has engraving all over the movement. Congrats on the purchase...You will love it!!!!

Just a personal thing with the CN6497 CdG movements, and has nothing to do with accuracy. Since that movement doesn't have a SWAN, I don't see a big accuracy issue involved really, but those BLUE letters bug me as they are STICKERS, not engraving. They are super tiny and can come off in time, so I just open the back when I first get it and use some sticky tape and they are GONE! And the good thing is I know they aren't floating around inside the movt somewhere when you note down the track your movement says:

OFFC NE P NERA or something similar. I do this with all rep movements that have painted or stickered bits, unless it's engraved or plated, why risk loose bits?

enzo, you are wise.


I think I'm gonna do that.

I have a 111h on order from silix. Paid on the 6th, still no tracking number or any word from them.
They seem really slow to ship stuff out. Well I knew about it beforehand so it's ok.

I got mine exactly one month after I paid.

It was well worth the wait.

it's a very sexy watch.

Did you get that problem or whatever it was taken care of?
