i have this rep as well. it is a brushed ss and polished ss mix. not brushed tt and polished ss, like the genuine. it looks better on a ss bracelet as the rest of the watch is not titanium. here are a couple of shots of mine ...

@ pubus, i hear ya buddy ... but these are hard to come by. anyway, i bucked up recently and bought one from the seller below. $15.98 shipping included within the u.s. not a bad deal if you really want one. seems like he has a bunch as well. they are in english. check it out ... http://cgi.ebay.com/Panerai-Special-Editio...1QQcmdZViewItem

@ steviemeatballs, i have the original pam 165 rep (from king) with asian 21 jewels. the only problem with the new one is that the case is polished. it should be brushed. the original rep has the correct brushed case but has a poor date magnification and the "l swiss made l" is under the six, which is wrong ... it should be like the new one. if they could put a brushed case on this one, i would certainly buy my second pam 165 rep. it seems when they correct one thing, they screw up something else ... very frustrating! i think it is a way to get people to buy more than one of the same rep. what do you think? here are a couple of shots of my pam 165 on a ss bracelet ...
