prdubis Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 The one on the left is definitely not Panerai font... The other two look like coming from PAM Cartel Ultimate Edition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 These are not rep wheels that is for sure as I picked them up from a place where rep parts would not found! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I don't know enough about the rep versus gen date wheels but the font is correct and the silk screening or whatever they use to apply the numbers looks remarkably good.

Jurgenk Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Not an expert here but the alignment looks appropriate for a 3 o'clock window position. Your friend must have some nice watches passing through his workshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 So if i was to offer these two for sale what whould be a sensible price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0lf Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Taka sells his 7750 datewheels for 59Euro. If these are OEM PAM though I've seen them fetch as much as $200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 They look pretty good - one on the left is a bit thinner font as mentioned but there is variability among the Gen Auto's.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 The one on the left is a standard ETA DW i put there for comparison with the other two D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Sorry Andy, I was speaking of the ETA when I said fonts were wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgenk Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I think if you're fairly certain of their lineage you'd be right to ask $200 or so, the aftermarket DWs do have some glitches and limitations, even though some look really convincing Edited December 14, 2011 by Jurgenk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 If anyone is interested these are now for sale in the tools and parts area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
