029M, there is one for sale over at RG for $150!

It's a one off, mine is perfect with only a service gap between10 and 11 o'clock.

The quality of this rep is amazing and it is much better than the H factory IMO (I had both, sold the H)

I can only point out the followings:

- Lume slightly too green when uncharged, then again I don't have a gen to compare So I might be wrong.

- Shape and thickness of 6 slightly off (too thick)

- LSML a hairline to close to 6

And that's about it! the CG is unbelievably good, the crown excellent, I can 't see anything wrong with the case, the case back is the best I have seen in a rep: the engraving is superb! Crystal is very clear (single AR as per gen) with good cyclop and DW

The big plus for me is the polished and flush cannon pin.

Mvt keeps excellent time and rotor is very quiet (nice change from previous A7750 I've had)

Even though it has its imperfections, this watch feels gen and that's due to the high overall quality and finish of the watch.

v2 normally comes with right hands, I got pre-v style hands on mine and quiet liked them so decided to keep them, I have also seen a couple of gens 26k with prev hands

Colour is lighter and as per gen for V2, it is really worth the upgrade trust me v2 is in a different league:

Better mvt (high beat) better CG, better dial, better CB the list goes on...Here is a pic with the v1 and v2 can you tell which one is which?

if you want the noob 104 Puretime is the only way to go for now, no one else has it for the time being

IMO the lume colour is fine, The 6 and 12 are a bit thicker than gen and the L SM L a bit too close to the 6. These are very small flaws and NOOB factory 104 is way better overall than H, the non flushed, brushed cp is a straight give away in the H as for the noob you'll have to look a lot closer to realise it is a rep. Also CG and CB look far more superior in Noob's. here are pics of noob and gen:

Here you go, one of the most underrated rep Imo, most dealers have it, I got this one from Andrew at Trusty time

Ordered the 104, here is a QC pic...

also Boutique editions 414 thru 420, 380, 326, 356, and new 292

I got one and I love it even with the blue AR!

does the entire sapphire reflect blue? or just the cyclops?

Yes entire sapphire reflect blue but very subtle and only under certain light conditions and angles most of the time you don't see it.

^ Thats Sweetness, Can you please tell me what that strap is?

It's a strap culture shark

One more pic

Great rep!

Elephant too, seriously?

Don't forget shark skin.

Yes the 104i looks good on shark!

005 is manual wind...

312 is a great rep and...auto!

026k is one of the best rep coming out of the H factory, go for it!

The problem with buying your first Panerai . . . is that it won't be your last Panerai, and you'll soon feel a whirlwind of addictive desire sweep you away forever more.

That is so true...Be prepared for a severe addiction!

Very very nice...What kind of mvt did you use for this beauty?

Needs pre-V hands too..

I agree, 026K! It's a no brainer

2 different watches pictured there, the last 3 pics are of gens 001A

lume on 005k is 99% like gen no need to relume mate!

You can't go wrong with the 005K it is maybe the best rep out of the box ever!
