docblackrock Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Me likey very much, been waiting for this one with the 7750. Interesting though on all GTs, how the gen 'prancing horse' logo looks less defined than the rep - gen has a more fluid/mercury look - ah well it's a great looking piece, so who's nitpicking?

V Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hands should also be skeleton ones without lume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highflyingclive Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hands should also be skeleton ones without lume. Are you sure, V? I have not seen the genuine, but here is the spec on the Panerai website: "Dial: black with square-grid decoration, Ferrari logo and Prancing Horse at 12 o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 On the Ferrari catalogue the hands do not have lume.. But as I said to others before never trust Panerai's catalogues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pivaro Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 I really like the ferrari chrono's , i've got the 0008 and like it so much i'm thinking of purchasing another ferrari chrono . The yellow dial seems pretty accurate except for the number two : on the gen a small part of the number appears behind the subdial . On the rep there's nothing . If you do the comparison you will see what i mean , kinda difficult to explain . Apart from that very minor flaw ( it wouldn't bother me ) it seems perfect . On the granturismo-chrono however i see more obvious flaws . The hand of the right subdial should be silver , not black ( or is it the picture that is misleading ?) Where the hell did those L's go beneath the six . It should say 'L swiss made L' .On the other chrono's they did it right , why not here ? For some odd reason that does bother me . PS I'm not trying to bring this model down , it's very nice , but flawless it is not . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 I believe skeleton hands are only on the triple-reg chrono not the twin register. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 I believe skeleton hands are only on the triple-reg chrono not the twin register. In the catalogue both Chronograph and Rattrapante had skeleton hands which probably changed to the production models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the one I wanted, but, if you are correct (not doubting you) I may stay away from it in favor of ones with the fewer flaws. As I have not been to the AD to see this personally, any one can verify if this is the case? Unfortunte if true as these semed to be easily fixed flaws.

brook0 Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 I have the 008 I can not find any flaws. As TTK stated, must be one of the best reps ever! It is so good it looks like it could have come from the same factory, maybe fell out the back door. I hope we get some more from whoever created this. I would buy anything from these guys. Someone mentioned the lugs, if anyone knows please post. Most pictures do not dwell on the lugs. \ PS. The large second hand on mine does not reset to 12. It will reset to 1 every time. Minor adjustment I am sure, otherwise the pushes are a little stiff buy hopefully they will get better. Thanks Sash. Great watch! Keep it up.

kingkitesurf Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I own several MBW's and mucho other reps. The Ferrari 008 is my first Pam. I am totally in fond of it. It keeps excellent time +4 sec per 24 hours and it has a huge power reserve... after two days in the box it still ran in the morning!!! I get way more compliments than with my MBW 1665 fully modded on the NATO strap. Funny huh... I ordered a nice Havana rough leather strap on TZ for it. I have the 008 I can not find any flaws.

robertk Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I agree. I have the 008 and it is nearly flawless. The others have some minor flaws and are verrrry nice, but for me the 008 is the best of them. Subtle, classy and.........still in your face!
