JBoy Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) Is this a real PAM 27? Date font looks like a rep but the serial numbers (not shown in this pic obviously) match up with a real one.

new & improved osteopath Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) Crown and date font lead me to think this is a rep- not sure though- the mag looks the right size, and the spacing of the elements on the dial is better than most of the reps I have seen. Oh, and the finishing on the inner edge of the crown guard is really bad. -O Edited August 14, 2007 by new & improved osteopath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 i already wrote on RWI that i think it's a gen...you could have posted a link to 'risti where all the story is going on... hxxp://www.network54.com/Forum/353390/thread/1186964032/last-1186974640/LNIB-Panerai+power+reserve+RARE+27C i'll remove the link if needed...

ravishingrick Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 The date font looks to be a standard ETA 2892 date font, the gen date numerals are also much thicker. I recall that there was a board member that managed to source and mount a genuine PAM 27-c handset on a rep PAM27, this could be it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 The date font looks to be a standard ETA 2892 date font, the gen date numerals are also much thicker. I recall that there was a board member that managed to source and mount a genuine PAM 27-c handset on a rep PAM27, this could be it? Since I know for a fact that there are 27 dials and hand sets available, I'm going to guess either rep w/ gen dial and hands or gen w/ a swapped out movement. If they're smarmy enough, someone could probably make a few extra bucks by removing and selling the OEM movement and then selling the watch w/ standard 2892 installed as 100% gen. If this is the case here, I'm guessing the guy got tired of waiting for his 2892 datewheel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
