V, my friend, I know the dial I quoted above is an 005 dial. But it is indicative of the early 2000s era Panerai dials that had thicker indicies. The more recent versions are definitely thinner and more uniform.
Case in point on the dial Abba posted.
Is Rollis dial thicker than the gen of that era? It appears so, but I can get by that because I know the quality of Rolli and FGDs efforts. They are truly every bit as high quality as a genuine dial. I have held many.
We've gotta keep in mind these aren't some back door, [censored], dime-a-dozen rep dials. These are the result of an extreme commitment of time and resources on behalf of a few very motivated collectors. They have succeeded in producing a dial on par in quality and standards with the genuine dials. For serious collectors and builders, this should be celebrated.
Those that can discern the value will buy and enjoy, those that can't wont. Congrats to Rolli and FGD. Once again beautiful work. Looking forward to many more projects to come. (Especially a 1A or 22b hint;) )
