Who is the GEN?

[puretime]

One of them are genuine, order always comes in A-B-A-B-A-B.... except the first one.

I will let you know the answer later

Only an example:

The lume... and the dial printing quality.

So B is gen.

 

[swissaddict]

"A" is the rep. A very good rep, but not perfect 8)

+1 - That "R" is the tell....

 

[seventhexile]

I wouldnt have noticed the quality of the R that easily..

However.. it is quite easy to see the difference of lume jobs in the picture.
The 6 is really where the differences are greatest with the lume.

[brtelec]

That is an excellent copy.

Yes the lume gave it away for me... but I have to say it wasn't easy. Great poll!!
...And great copy too!

 

[carnut]

I figured A was the rep b/c it looked newer! Less used...

nice rep, to bad it's such a fugly watch.

 

[turbogt]

If you don't look closely (almost with a loupe) and had the gen on the side, not in a million years could you distinguish the gen from the rep!

Great work Angus.

(That is if you don't open the damn thing and find the Asian maquina).

Cheers!

Look at the lug bar ends, too... quick tell.

I'd like to see pics of the case back screws as well.

 

[flyby75]

Nice pics....

 

[Dizzy]

this is very close.. but the lume is different.. but you would have a VERY hard time seeing these features without a 10x loupe. AWESOME watch!!! excellent work!

[Panerino]

they are extremely unattractive.....both of them...IMHO 8)

 

[Jurgenk]

sorry Angus, you asked for comments-- it is a very excellent rep, but there are obvious issues that would trouble me even if i liked the watch:
pixellation artefacts in dial print, including the numerals, fine script and R as commented earlier
recesses in the PVD'd crown are polished / glossy, whereas gen has matte finish in these recesses
chromed seal is of a rougher quality than on gen
of course these require close inspection

could you please redirect your talented makers' efforts to more attractive watches, or to copying more desirable / popular models with the same level of dedication?

 

[puretime]

B is the gen, good eyes guys.

I agree.... let's build a kick ass Panerai already!

If I had any desire to wear a green and black watch, then I would buy this right now! unfortunately, I leave that to the others. And who those "others" are...I couldn't tell ya.

 

[horologie_unitas]
