Hi everyone,
I've recently got more and more interested in Panerai lately, and after some research I decided to pull the trigger on a beauty.

My TD has been very engaged. I just recieved my QC, and I think theres an issue... the "Swiss" is a bit off position of where its supposed to be. The word "Made" is just positioned fine. Is it actually an issue or I'm making a big deal out of it?

Another potential issue is the caseback, it looks to me that its tilted more than it should be..

Also I wonder if someone used this model/movement and what are the long term thoughts on it. I personally beleive its really close to what a watch represents to me and I cant wait to get my hand on one!View attachment 86735 View attachment 86736 View attachment 86737

According to the TD its V6F/KW.

Glad to hear that the thing I pointed out is not really an issue

Er no, I meant not relevant as in I had no input, but wondered who made it.

Sorry.

I'd ignore it. But YMMV.

That have a ceramic crown? I thought the V6 was DLC.

Its a DLC crown but thats the best version compared to Gen. No ceramic crowns anymore but even back then they had a few issues

I would ask about the Swiss marking. But why does the case back need to be straight??

I have one and love it.

:hehehe: You have a point

I already asked about the Swiss mark and probably would request a different watch. Glad that you're enjoying yours I cant wait!
