if you like the PO model..
I suggest trying to get a franken 42mm..
if you can find a 4th generation PO franken.. It can be fitted with gen bezel, Dial, crown/tube, hands.. and that should pass most inspections.
unless of course, they put it side by side to a gen.. cause the gen beats at a lower beats per hour 25.5k vs. the rep which will be housing a eta 2824 which is beating at 28.8k.
The newer Panerai 44mm models will be cheaper for you and almost indistinguishable from the gen.. I'd go that route.
