Spot The Fake?

Ok. Noobs read on here how if they don't get their CGs shaved they will get beat down on the Subway. And some people always talk about how they can spot even the best rep a mile away. We had a litle exchange on another thread about what you could see at five feet. So I decided to have another Fakey giveaway. Anyone can join in.

The Challenge:
Below I have pieced together a series of Panerai pictures. All I need for you to so is tell me which one you think is the fake. Actually I'm being a little unfair because I actually set the distance at four feet not five. And they are much clearer than you would normally see because they're NOT ON SOMEONE'S WRIST. :D

Here are the rules:

1. One guess per person.

2. You must post on this thread.

3. You must state why you think a prticular one is fake. Not just that you think it is. This is after all about what you think you can spot.

There will be no hints. I will not answer PMs about it. In 24 hours I will come back and check the thread. The FIRST one if ANYONE who has gotten the correct answer wil be sent a brand new Fakey SOSF custom watch. You can blow the picture up if you like but I weakened the resolution so it will be blurred up close. So you might as well just look at it the way it is and keep with the spririt of the game.

That's it..GO!

I cant see the pic it's so small. Good idea on the post though. My old eyes are bad. Ok I don't know Panerai's too well either but in the spirit of the game #23 is the fake because the crown is really thin. :?: :wink:

NO. 19

Reason: The crown guard is way off and the engraving on the back of the case is wrong. The buckle looks a bit suspicious as well as the Lume not being very good.
:lol:

I was going to say #20 also. But I am a noob, and my only reason would have been because it is the only pic with a light background, so that stood out to me.

Has anyone else noticed that all of the pics have the same background EXCEPT #20... which looks like it has the same dial as an older 111H I had...

It IS a blurry picture though....

I wanna play too. I think #13 is the fake due to what looks like a too thin crown.

I would be inclined to say that they're all fake!

All the pics look like standard rep dealer pics - lighting setup etc. Only #20 looks like it was shot elsewhere ..?? Therefore the only gen?!!

lol

#23 - it's slightly smaller than all the others. Fakey's making sure we can't see it...
