wjlamp Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archibald Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see if this helps: [/quote 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?

t Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 genuine number is refinished by computer or maybe this is a factory pic from Panerai (they are without limited number) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjlamp Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 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 http://www.mundopanerai.com/foro/viewtopic.php?t=615 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
