alexdigio Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hello Panerai addicts... I've a question... Since the Panerai H-serie reps came out, there has been one thing that is never improved: the blue words OFFICINE PANERAI on the Unitas movement.. The characters are much thicker than those on the genuine H-serie movements.. Why did they never improve this? It doesn't look difficult to fix that...

new & improved osteopath Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I cannot look for it right now, but it appears the most recent Davidson reps have an improved font on the movement. It's posted here somewhere. -O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new & improved osteopath Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 No, talking about the blue engraving. Here is a photo from the other thread, and indeed, the 'oficine panerai' engraving in blue looks a whole lot better than it did before. Look... http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/411/1012004kp3.jpg -O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 That pic certainly looks better but is far from perfect. It is the small details like these that will never be 100% that is why a replica is only a replica and the genuine is 100% genuine............

new & improved osteopath Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I completely agree that replicas will never be the same as the gen. However, I look at the first 111 rep I bought 3 years ago, and I am floored by the difference and IMPROVEMENTS which have taken place since then; More accurate dials, CG, movement with correctly shaped bridges, bluing in the right places, swan neck regulator adj. etc... The difference is night and day. The newest generation is really quite good. -O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK08 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 It's definitely coming along but still a way to go before it's even close to making me do a double take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
