Yes, I sent then to the main gmail address that I received all emails from. I sent a couple of emails, one yesterday early morning and one before noon today.

I sent it over yesterday morning but I have had not heard back yet. It could be just a picture distortion/reflection but it looks weird. I don't mind waiting longer as long as I get a product without manufacturing fault.

Since dealers specifically ask not to post QA pics, I am not posting them. Here is only a cropped picture that shows the issue with the lug. Like I mentioned above everything else in the QA pics look great. But this lug deal looks weird to me and it does not seem like it is a picture distortion as all the shape of the case around it looks normal. Unless it is a super weird picture distortion...

Well, there will always be flaws, bigger or smaller. These are so small it really does not matter. To think of it, factories cannot and should not ever make 1:1 reps. Imagine if they would, all the countless scammers then trying to resell them as Gen's. If that would ever happen big name brands would get really mad and potentially go after Chinese factories and our hobby message boards. Right now they don't care as much cause you can tell Rolex and Panerai reps easily in pictures and they even have rep collectors policing the auctions and reporting scams. So imagine that... all those big brand boys come to RWG, read around, see many of us buying their genuine watches and reps and also reporting scams sales. Seems like it works out for everyone in the end somehow.

Just the lug screw on the CG side of the watch, everything else was good in my QA pics, the watch looked great. But I have not heard back in more then 24 hours after my comment and I sent another reminder email. Not sure what's up, should I worry?

Lucky you, in my QA pics the lug screw was messed up. So I asked to see new pictures but I haven't heard back in past 10 hours. :-(

They are available now, overpriced. You can see them at trusted dealers sites.

There are no 1:1 reps. They all have flaws, some bigger then others. Factories will never make 1:1 reps with no flaws, so you just have to choose a model with flaws you can live with.

Ha.. I'm still wearing Pam111 Swiss ETA that I got from Eddie Lee back in early 2005, I think it was March or something. I guess that was the beginning of good reps. Modded crown and CG. Wrong bridges but I still don't care cause it looks and works really well almost 7 years later.

Honestly when I saw this picture earlier today, I was starring at it for a little while and I could not decide. I went through all pics and I suspected that the one marked with paper is Gen. Even then I was not completely sure until I looked at the pic of the case backs and saw serial numbers covered up.

Relaxman@ I just got my confirmation.

Yeah it is, nice design and unique. As much as I like it and want it I would not be able to pull 47mm off.

How long does it usually take? I ordered my with Josh, but I haven't ordered anything since 06 so I'm not sure how long it take these days.

If you google Gen shots and look at them in different lighting conditions, the color of the dial is all over the place due to how it interacts with light. On some of them it looks black on some it looks light brown. On Josh's or Trusty's pictures with Rep and Gen side by side, the color of the dial looks identical.

Same for me, it is a base design but different from standard 112, closed back, lume color, plusI haven't bought PAM rep since 2006 so I'm way overdue and I wanted a base model. So this model coming out kind of made my day.

I ordered one too...

Absolutely agree. We all know there never will be 1:1 rep but this model looks very close, probably as close as they will ever get. We can pick it apart forever, yeah the lever's tip is very, very slightly off, the crown is a bit too far from the case, but who cares... this one is super close and what matters is that it looks SICK!!!! Love that model.

I looked at countless high res pics of a Gen shot in various lighting condition and at Josh's pics where he has the Rep and Gen side by side. This thing looks good, with an exception of very tiny flaws this model is really nice, I'm ordering one now... I want it.

Actually Josh's site has way better pics, you can see it side by side with Gen, looks pretty good.

Wow!! 390 Gen is amazing, hopefully this rep is pretty decent, looks nice but trusty's pictures barely show any detail, especially with that shallow depth of field.

Great, I looked up straps on his sites. He has a specific section with pictures of straps for Ingy. From what you are saying I see that you can choose any leather material, not be limited to few that he has in the Ingy section. I'm going to contact him once I figure out what I want and the length etc. Thanks again..!!

Bummer about the crystal... One thing I noticed that actually bugs me is that the crown lever sticks out too much away from the case as compared to Gen. I was hoping for this one to be more accurate.

The only time I have seen crystal scratched was on a watch that had a meeting with a diamond ring, my friend's Genuine Pam. And that was not nearly as bad as yours but barely visible hairline. To me it looks like a scratch on a synthetic sapphire.

No problem, enjoy the hunt.

That is super nice of you. The fact you bought the rep to do this review. Very cool.
