belongs on my wrist not yours

stunning work This kind of stuff is what the hobby is all about

Yep Prefer a Franken 1680 trade though

I'd love one but would prefer to trade my Franken Pam 24 for one. Not sure if I have the patience for another long term build

thanks for the update

New Noob 243 is the best rep currentley available period

Stunning movement work

You are correct sir. I have a ton of Paci's I should know. It's a bit stiff but not overly so and very comfortable. In addition it always looks new as it does not crinkle

It's a Paci Pav (95?? I think)

Thanks to master The Zigmeister, gorgeous work as usual. Also want to thank Warren, Oncyte, W0lf and Projectologist for their input. Complete OEM F series case set. Case, crystal, bezel, crown and CG. Set was absolutely mint and clean. crystal AR looks brand new The Zigmeister fixed the spring in the CG and repolished the CG to perfection He lumed DSN's newest 001A-40B dial with a slight semi gloss lume, hard to pic up in the pics but it looks outstanding He regulated a gorgeous hammer finished Eta (man i love those movements, such a pretty finish) And he put it all together with his usual meticulous craftsmanship Looks like the gen, feels like a gen. Now I have two complete OEM A-F case set Frankens in this one and my Franken 003A. That one sports a complete A series case set from Pete M I know the dial is not perfect. The Zigmeister's work is but the gen has a tad thicker indicicies and the 2 should also be a buthair thicker but damn is this close. And considering the Gen T dial goes for near $4000 or more if you can find one I am more than satisfyied with this one Jakob caseback with custom serial and BB is being made for me And here is my other complete OEm case set Franken: Franken 003A

Love it the 390 really should have been a Ti model

LOL No

Big thanks to PeteM, Oncyte, Projectologist and W0lf But other than that she is done (until I can find an OEM 001A T dial on the cheap) Pictures accidentally deleted by watchmeister - apologies to all.

Main font is fine you are way off brother Main lume font? If you mean the lume on the dial again you are off Lever tip will always be off on any rep it and will always need a bit of TLC and the H fact levers are not good out of the box Spacing between letters is off?? LOL No it is not CP wrong?? No it is not, you are looking at reflection newbie Man I love how Noobs who have never seen the gen (let alone prob any genuine Panerai) get all fired up over macro pictures and proclaim themselves experts Truth is this rep is about perfect and with some CG work could match up with MY GEN 296 without scrutiny LOL Noob

Ban this guy

It helps if you let us know what you are looking for Everything has a price

Nice comparison

Um no The inner taper of a CG is not going to get you called out.

the 187 is a great watch in is damn near perfect with a vac or Zig pearl mod and hand relume. Yes the inner taper of the CG is off by a butthair but it is damn accurate The 305 has a myriad of innacuracies 187 with Vac Pearl mod and hand relume

Fu you

Parts?

Yep a winner for certain got mine a few days ago and I plan to mount my OEm dial and hands this weekend

217 is the clear winner oweing to the movement and I can't wait to add my gen dial and hands Looks like Warren and my Franken Fiddy dominance live to fight another day. However potential Franken Fiddy modders have a hell of a starting point here.

About $400

Stem screwed into the crown but I doubt that is the issue. 99% of the time a wobbly crown means the crown neck is broken and you will need a new crown. Again impossible to confirm without a picture
