pam 050 mag and hands

[faonmyea]

this is the wrong mag right? and the hands shouldn't be this dirty right?

The mag you're just going to have to live with for the time being--I believe the OEM 40mm PAMs use a 5mm cyclops, so we can probably count on the makers to keep using the old substandard cyclopses on the reps.

Are the hands' defects really visible at actual-size? I used to have this sydrome where I'd be happy with a rep until I snapped shots to show off or ask a queation here. Then, after noticing some flaw at 165X, I wouldn't be able to wear the watch w/o worrying about the 6 micron ding on the crown guard.

If it's visible w/ the naked eye at norman check-the-time distances, contact the dealer for a replacement set of hands or watch. If not, don't sweat it.

Date font and magnification in the 050 is probably the best of all PAM reps.

do the 050s have a single clasp or double? i keep seeing different stuff.

Close up there are always disapointments. If anyone sees your watch this close then I hope he/she is really cute!

Nice date font. I didn't realize the font on my 2893 movement 029 was so wimpy until I met someone with a real panerai. The font was big and bold as well as the mag.

Does anyone know whether the 50's date font is, in fact, the correct Swiss721 font or whatever it is Panerai uses?
