~PAM217 comparisson GEN vs V6 vs ZF~

[Ice_Gee]

Hello Gens,

wanted to compare PAM217 as well V6 vs ZF vs GEN as there are similar pictures to look at.

Both models V6 and ZF are really great, but which one is better for you, you have to decide. Just wanted to make some points where to look at.
In any case,both versions has many faults but without gen piece next to them, you won't figure out that it's a rep. But ofcourse there are some clear flaws that you can see quickly.

DIAL:
- For me lume shot it's a bit closer to gen on V6 than ZF (ZF has more greenish)
- all prints and numerals are great on both just PANERAI print are in wrong height on both models
- CP is better on V6 as it's polished, on gen you can say it's not polished but there are other pics that you can see clearly it is.

BACKSIDE:
- the most visible difference is little horns on balance wheel. On V6 and ZF they are in wrong position like on straight in gen piece.
- OFFICINE PANERAI letters are too bold on both
- Screw is better on V6 as it's flat
- Case shape are wrong on both reps. Gen is more curved and better finished.

BUCKLES:
- PANERAI word are in wrong height on both models and engravings are better in ZF but it's hard to say,it can be lightning

CROWN GUARD:
- Lever finish is better on V6
- From first point of view it can be that on reps CG is bigger than on gen. Spacing is clearly visible between crown and CG. Gen has less space.
- REG. engravings are in wrong position on both reps

PROFILE VIEW:
- well this is bad,because rep cases are thicker than gen. It could be the same on PAM127 V6 and ZF.
- Pillow shape is also different,so case needs reshape.
- lug bar hole is better placed on ZF

The choice is yours.
Thanks
