Top is gen... I think . I've never seen a panerai strap where the stitching stopped mid way like that. I'm assuming it's for deployant

great post about straps. I think this one is NOT gen (I mean OEM):

I agree

One of these

Well gang my 360 1.2 arrived today and I've got to say it truly is a beautiful watch. Few quick pictures.

I'm no PAM expert, is that a gen or rep? The strap is outstanding and looks very gen like if it isn't.

Gen strap

Ahh. Paul. Your very best friend. I remember getting one of my very first reps from Paul about 6 years ago. Still runs great. Bought several very nice and affordable reps from his variety of web sites over the years. Heard lots of good and bad stories, but I never had a problem. Always fast shipping and good value for the money. I'll have to visit him again.

Same here..

Mine was "processed through sort facility" New York today... Come to papa.

I get more complements on the 088 than any other watch I've owned gen or rep.. Your photos are very good Mike. Just took this one with my 4s

Me likey!!!

So who is the strap maker ??

Updated case color (lighter) Josh said updated dial but not sure. I think new high beat movement again not sure and the crown pin is not shiny anymore.

looks like garbage, sorry. What a weird combo. Put the rubber strap back on, please.

See I told you lol..

Search risti for a used strap..

Oops I see u already bought ..

Cargo

I like the combo. You might get some dislikes for pairing a sub with a croc but who cares.. I'll guess K-strap

By-laws

Just buy the v1 and buy a nice strap be it aftermarket or gen. Problem solved.

Happy Saturday all..

I think I have this whole watch collecting thing nailed. Guys are not big on jewelery, but mechanical things are irresistable. We don't wear

much except watches, or and a wedding band. The past ten years have given us a truly remarkable selection and quality of rep watches that,

chosen carefully, thanks to RWG, make this hobby a fantastic past time. Who out there can say they dont check the tracking of their latest purchase

every day? I am 7 years into this , lost a wife as a result, but hey, She could not say I was porking a watch!!

I foresee this topic taking a new path.. Please expand on your last sentence.

I believe the DLC is a lighter color. I'm hoping for a high beat movement. Josh said the dial was updated but I'm not sure about that..

It's a 88 day

Damn that looks nice!! This is my incoming. Crown lever might be a little funky but I can live with it. Color looks good though. Wish it had the pre-v hands.
