Did I stumble across a hidden treasure?

Well....my buddy has a crapload of parts that he was selling and I managed to pick up a few from him. I came across this dial and I thought it looked pretty good....no low bar "A"s, logo size, tilt and spacing looks good, numeral marker font looks good, L SWISS L size and spacing look good as well. I hope this isn't just a standard 005/195 dial because I paid him quite a bit for it. I would love to hear your opinions!

My 195

Gen 195

All in all it looks quite convincing....but you need to add abit of shin to the case....yours is far too matte black.

Just my 0.02$

yep that looks quite good. i'm no expert but the dials look pretty much the same. i agree with the mattness of your model, if you can get it to shine a little more you will fool even more.

12, 3, 6 and 9 seconds markers on the gen dial are thicker than the rep. On the gen the arrow logo overlaps when it crosses near the top, on the the rep they forgot to complete the overlap (left it partially open). Spacing is too tight for the "RAI" in PANERAI on the rep dial.

Hmmmm....you're right. But it does look way better than any 195 dial I've seen. I haven't seen anyone else with this dial? Has anyone seen this one before?

I didn't even notice when flipping the pictures back and forth....The only way I was able to tell was having them side by side.

Yeah...its damn close!

Easy...order from DSN and leave it in a watch box and never wear it! lol
