Wow! This is just a stunning watch! Best in class. Here's the gen case back (from the bronze) for comparison.

I've been using my Gillette Sensor Excel since it came out and think it's a great razor... I have, although, been eyeing the double edged safety razors recently for some strange reason. I'm just not sure if I'd be happy with the change.

This is pretty nice, but I'm preferring single malt still

I've seen reps and early gens with a case to CG mismatch... sad, but true. Yes, this is odd... The devil is in the details, although I see the guy has a high post count on watchuseek This story could go either way... in the end, I'd need a hell of a lot of convincing to go with this as gen IF I was considering it.

Hard to say, but I have seen this mismatch of CG to case in A & B series. The price is very low for an item in this amazing condition as well. Also, not sure why he wouldn't include the photo of the watch in the box. If I was serious about buying this, I'd be very careful and at minimum wanting a face to face and a direct confirmation from Panerai on the authenticity.

Oh my eyes!!! Some things you just can't unsee! I doubt any Italian had anything to do with this :-S

Interesting subject for sure... I've had several gen Panerai over the last 15 years (always bought pre-owned) and many many reps... The quality of the reps is just amazing these days. I just got a 243J that is every bit as good as the genuine (except for deep diving) for my purposes... Other than the morality of the subject and self-guilt in buying a rip-off, I see no reason to buy the gen and pay for the marketing and greed of the (and other) brand.

Really lovin' this 243J

I can understand items like the caseback engravings and other artistic items (fonts etc) not being right on a first release... but with modern measuring and manufacturing capabilities available these days, dimensions of measurable objects like hands or other machined items is just plain lazy and unprofessional IMO.

Woww! They've just come out with a laser razor: https://d2pq0u4uni88oo.cloudfront.net/projects/2021018/video-586448-h264_high.mp4

Just in.... and I think this will be my daily for some time:

I just received a PAM 243J and it has this anomaly as well... plus lots of distortion: Here's a good video of the gen:

Hope they can rep this:

I like it! I just saw the video about it here... the movement is really cool, especially with the smooth sweep seconds hand during timekeeping mode! Great buy!!
