Recently, RWG member Wheaton26 posted a comprehensive comparison of his Gen 312 with the new 'Best Edition' 328 version from Angus. Announcing the imminent sale following the post, I chanced on the listing and snapped it up, in one of the quickest transactions to hit RWG Having seen a plethora of gen unboxings on the board, I decided to post this unboxing, to remind those 'gensters' among us about their 'rep' roots... There is no pearwood, no screwdrivers or rubber straps, none of the unnecessary, unimportant extravagances. Instead, I present you with a Panerai unboxing... 'rep' style... I'll let the pictures do the talking ... Unlike the traditional triple-box, the rep comes in a single box, doing away with the Pearwood... Who needs pearwood anyway ;op I reckon if Panerai stamped their foam with the OP logo, they'd be able to sell it for a million bucks a square metre on Paneristi... Safe and snug... Wristie... I've been taking things apart since I was a child... Luckily this one fit together without a screw/bolt/washer left over... Endlinks (FRONT) Endlinks (BACK) Caseback... 0313/1000, soo close! Either one less or 15 more and it would have made my year... Putting the tongue in cheek Paneristi-bashing to one side, Wheaton did a stellar packing job and is a star for buying this rep just to take those amazing comparison shots and serving the wider RWG community And now, I get to have a rep with some historical provenance... The first Reg/Gen comparison AND the first 328 Best Edition on the RWG sales corner... I should have paid double! Now... This bracelet is getting resized and this sexy 328 is hitting the town with me. Hope you enjoyed Edited June 3, 2011 by subbiesrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
