Just quick one, i linked to Ajoesmiths post with his and gen dial, His gen dial looks like the rifleing was in blue i distincly remember in the Ad and on omega web site ( i will check in a mo) the rifleing in silver like the rep but not as bold.
Edit Yep have a look
Welcome to the forum, please you must undestand how oftern we see that question in one for or another, there is such a wealth of information in this place, go for a wander through the Panerai area and have a read then when you know what model you want read again and then ask some questions.
Again welcome dont take this all the wrong way
The other two threads were about as much rucus as you could cause on the internet and the dealers just kept quiet in the main and dug in, the storm blew over, back to normal, ales klar, ok lets put up the postage next then, we can ride that one out no problem!
It is also an open forum for us to pass information on our dealing with collectors, the same as if this was a loan or mortgage forum (i know analogy was used before) and if one firm was not straight with is advertisements or dealing you would be happy to receive that information that may save you a lot of heartache and money years down the line.
They would have trouble [censored]ing that case back up, lets see they can spell Breitling now but how about:-
Blracbird
BalckBird
BlackBrid
BwackBird
Now i am not trying to be funny here or take the micky out of regional accents but this is the sort of mistake that we have seen lots of like the miss spelling of the famous German WW2 fighter plane that i am not going to write and give pug the chance to pick me up on my spelling again.
The rifleing marks (swirls) on the gen are far nore subdued than on the rep, i think Ajoesmith had one with a gen dial for sale the other day.
