Nice, as usual ;-) I also like the grey gator strap!

Grazie mille Kilo [emoji106][emoji4]

Swdivad -- nicely put, hehe. Thanks all.

Wearing my new 201/A today! Love it! - 111M case wonderfully reshaped by Thom - Rolli dial + hands set - Jakob caseback - DSN ‘OEM’ crown - DSN Pre-V crownguard - DSN ‘French sapphire’ without AR. While this sapphire IMO is clearly superior to any other rep crystal I have seen, to my liking it was reflecting a bit too much light to my liking (I guess a bit more than the gen crystal). So I asked my watch smith (AR specialist) to give it single AR. For me it is perfect now. - Dirk Vero Squalo Olive Sharky Thanks Rolli.

Wow nice, definitely something else, Rolli. A more extravagant flower on the ever flourishing Panerai tree. Good looker.

+1 I have my MP Tantallium on my 390, and i'm finally satisfied with this combo. Great, soft strap as well. Admittedly, a Rolli dial would make everything still more special... His latest brown one, 055, looks stunning. If I hadn't already bought 2 of his dials recently, I wouldn't hestitate to jump on this, too. But I gotta draw a line somewhere, I guess [emoji5]️

Wow. Both simply magnificent combo's. Watches with character! Congrats to both of you!

Interesting Grim, I already had the impression Panerai had been making their indices a bit thinner over time.

Hi, customer here. First of all, I found this image of a 000 gen dial over at Risti (albeit a G series with the L SWISS L instead of L SWISS MADE L), and I’m combining it with one of my Rolli vs Noob comparison pics. It’s Rolli left, Noob in the middle and gen to the right. Secondly, I’m sad to see this is all getting a bit nasty and personal in this thread. Let me stress that I’m not here to offend anyone, or defend anyone's behavior. As a matter of fact, I think most people are sensible enough to make their own judgement. While I’m not an expert myself, leaving room to those who are, I do like to point out a couple of things. Merely to share my own, sincere impressions. 1. I am satisfied with the dial I got. Leaving aside the issue if it’s worth the money or not – this will always be a matter of personal consideration 2. To be fair, having held both dials in my hands, the Rolli dial IS very different from the (Noob) rep dial. Not only does the lume application have a completely different structure – more flat (i.e. more sunken in the dial) – but also take a look at the spacing in ‘LUMINOR’. It can be clearly seen in the ‘MIN’ part. Same for spacing in PANERAI. 3. The spacing in PANERAI and LUMINOR on Rolli’s dial is closer to this gen dial, and in fact all other 000 dials I have seen so far. 4. The shape and fatness of the numerals is a little bit harder for me to judge – perhaps others may chime in here. Based on this gen dial, I would say Rolli’s dial is closer (take a look at 2 and 6, or the inner space of 9. The big, visible difference, however (let’s not forget these are micro pics), is the way the lume is applied. The rep dial really has ‘sausages’ on them (Rolli’s doesn’t) and of course the lume shines much brighter when lit. I hope this helps a bit.

Send Rolli a PM, he'll be able to tell you... Good luck!

Finally, here's a couple of lume shots (another exceptional feat of Rolli's dial) and some wrist shots in daylight. Have a good weekend all!

Two more images... Previous ones are on page 3. Will soon post some more pics that show the power of the lume.

Thanks Markie & Kilo for your kind comments. I hope these pics are helpful for those that perhaps were doubtful about the added value of the dial. I'm happy with the result. Strap is a Dirk 1994 Cognac... Cheers.

So here it is: Rolli's 000 Dial and hands set, installed in a 000 Noob V3 case. The difference is quite obvious. On the comparison pics, Rolli's dial is always on the left. Enjoy!

I'd be 100% thrilled to see (and get!) your 000 dial, Rolli. I have no doubts it will be just as amazing as the other dials you recently released. And what's best: given that the latest rep cases are so good, it will make the watch nearly indistinguishable from the gen. You're a great assett to this forum, our hobby, and you will burn a great hole in my wallet -- but it'll be worth every penny!
