I received my 390 from Joshua today. The shipping was quick. Good service etc. My first impression is that 390 looks really, really nice, I mean super nice. The dial is in fact a nice brown color, gold color on the hands is actually really nice, a subtle in a way that I like versus in your face pimp gold. The color of the lume looks really nice. The high beat movt. sounds great. This is a really nice dress watch or any occasion watch for sure. Over all it is a very nice rep and I like pretty much everything about it with an exception if the CG lever. I see that the quality of levers must have not improved since 2005. It feels nothing like gen, it does not apply enough pressure on the crown. I mean it is enough to wear around, not that bad but not nearly what it should be. Lever is still flimsy, does not have rubber gasket around the pin. In comparison I have an after market modded CG and lever on my 2005 Eddy Lee 111, I got the CG/lever set from Jimmy Fu back in 2006. That CG and lever is awesome and still better then what's on the 390. You'll notice on my lame iphone picture that the crown on my 111 is actually too thick, thicker then genuine, it was first Lello crown release from 2005 or 2006 which I actually like cause if it more friendly when it comes to winding the watch, much more so then 390. Over all I highly recommend 390, it does truly look awesome. The lever will be annoying for owners of Genuine Panerais or those who have really good after market sets like my 111, but it's not a deal breaker. And I guess all reps have levers like that.
