Arktos gen or rep?

[wjlamp]

Have a look at www.mundopanerai.com

Go to the Arktos 092 presentation and study the picture of the back of the watch. No limited production numbers 0-500.

Is this the pic of a gen or a rep. The site is supposed to deal only with gens

I think I see a production number, but it's very hard to find because of the angle of the picture. Let's see if this helps:

If that's a rep, the Chinese have taken CNC engraving to a new level. Sadly, IMO that's a gen.

Thanks for taking time to examine.

I did this .

It's OP6559.The same number it is written on my rep piece too.

By production number I mean serial number. Arktos is supposed to be a limited production series with serials from 1 to 500. (eg 35/500).

That's what is missing on the watch in this picture. Funny isn't it

Any ideas?

genuine

number is refinished by computer or maybe this is a factory pic from Panerai (they are without limited number)

...which means, that my first? generation Arktos is a replica to an existing piece ,either production, or pre production, or exhibition,or Mike Horn's first watch.

With all respect to the genuine (replicated too ,off Mike Horn's watch) , and ultimate? replica owners,what's the true reference?

The same goes and for ultimate 111 replica too.

Three production batches,thee different pieces

1.All parts polished ( EF)

2.Crown guard brushed (HI)

3 Crown guard brushed,and movement with differing decoration ( GHI)

Just hit the link below to see what I mean
