Just about to purchase my first Panerai, and got qc-pics. But is this cg any good? Please advice

Ordered one from Lay, cant wait to get it Thanks for a great review

Here is a pic from QC of the first one that I rejected:

You can see how CG Lever is protruding above the CG profile...

And here is a pic from QC of the watch I got:

Okey, I see, thanks

The lever should be flush with the crown,or very close to It. It seems that some are better than others. Ask the dealer for pics before delivery Is your best bet. Reguardless of the CGL issues,best Pam rep ever made Imho. I have the old model that is very nice but this one Is much nicer,congratulations Sql,absolutely love that tan/orangish strap,looks fantastic on your wrist

Thanks maxman And Sql, nice touch with the tan strap, that look sweeeet

Im looking into buying one of these, but Im a pam-noob How is a good/great cg supposed to look? So that I dont get a bad one.

Still waiting for the original one, perhaps that will look better I got some options now at least

Much better this Panatime strap

Thanks

Here are some pictures with my new strap from Panatime:

nato are nice but this one has too much red IMO

I kinda agree with you, but it looks better in real life As said before, its just a temp strap The original one is missing in action Has a panatime-strap inbound

Really nice mate! Good work. Gen movement is never wrong! How about a lume shot?

Here is a quick one taken with my Iphone4

I remember seeing one Member had a black (hornback??) strap with red stitching to match the little plane on the chrono seconds hand. It was very sharp indeed.

edit: I found the thread and the photos. I love this strap on the TG .. it suits the watch - clicky click click

That was one cool looking strap yes

That strap is just temp, the original one is mia Im getting the same one as on my Seawolf, but with red stiching, bought it from panatime Hopefully I can squeeze it on

What did you get done on this one? Is this a gen movement and dial??

I do like these.

Its a gen Iwc movement, Uwe ar and Domi lume

Here are some quick pics of my new Iwc Top Gun, enjoy

That strap looks really nice on the yellow SW where did you get?thanks

Thanks I bought it on www.panatime.com. Just ordered one with red stiching for my franken Iwc TG

Here is a picture of mine, but Ive also seen it on a black/yellow HKTanstrap that looks great

A gen bezel will not fit without making up the thickness between the gen bezel and the case. Not impossible but difficult. I made the decision to bond the complete gen bezel assembly into position as I cared more about looks than a functional bezel!

What did you use for bonding?

Btw, this one is now up for sale

How is the quality of the rose gold numerals on the dial.

I have one of these (from another seller) and the rose gold numerals do not match the color of rose gold on the case

In my opinion it matches very good

Are these any good or the same version as yours?

Not the same

Too much probably! but it was fun to do.

LOL Yep I know that feeling

How much have you invested in this watch now?

oh ok, now i got it

wear it well its a great watch for the price, i only hope your movement is keeping good time

btw can u adjust it by your own, if it dont keep good time, is it easy to do?

I acutally dont know how to do it, but several over at RG have done it

ok but isnt yours also all gold, brushed and polished?? or is yours ss and gold, cant see in the pics

The one on the strap is all gold, but the one in the single pic is black and gold

very nice, congrats

but only for the records, with what kind of clasp they come normaly??

All gold one
