Andrew delivered! a Beautiful Pam188... The transaction was smooth and the watch got here in 6 days (to USA)
I took the watch to my Watch repair man. He opened it to check it out. The rotor was engraved (Bonus) and the mvt (Swiss 7753) was Good. It was a little dry so he oiled it for me but, besides that everything works Great (chrono's and date) and the lum's look Great!
Here are the "Minor" differences compared to a Gen and I emphasize on MINOR..well at least to me
Spacing on the numbers
Sub dials are not recessed enough
Sub dial hands are a bit too long
Date font
Font of numbers is .5 point off or less
Back casing is missing "Luminor" and the production number
You would literally have to have the watches Side by Side to notice any of these things..
Since "Tech" posted pictures of this same watch with a black band I thought I would post some with a Brown Band (Rep) I am currently waiting for a Florence from "V" and Few from "BOB"
These pictures where taken with a Point and Shoot camera...so don't laugh at my shots.. I didn't notice but, there was black felt fibers all over the watch.
If you contemplating getting this piece... GET IT , You Will Not be Disappointed
Ok, I'll stop rambling here are the pic's
