watcher71 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 I got a spam email selling this supposed rep for only $250. Normally I woul not even consider spam from an unknown seller, but I have never seen a 183 without the recessed pin problem. So, just curious if you pam experts can tell me if this is actually a pic of a genuine. Just curious...I do not plan to buy either way because I just got a beautiful 183 from joshua.
rbj69 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 how u doing watcher71 ? imo it is a rep just because of the back engraving r not smooth as genuine , but im not really a expert of this style watch but i do know panerais engraving on the movment and on the caseback r much more refined than that one in the pics, hope that helped another example to me is the letter A and I on the first pics caseback , see how sloppy the engraving is , not really smooth kind of grainy
watcher71 Posted June 10, 2006 Author Report Posted June 10, 2006 thanks joe. Im good I am far from an expert too, but it strikes me as funny that the pics dont seem to show the recessed pin problem that gets so many people's panties up in a bunch.
savage_here Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 I say rep. The crossbars in the A's are too low to be gen.
Wolf Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 Rep. I remember seeing a dealer here with the same pics.
ubiquitous Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 Movement isn't as nicely finished as genuine... A bit crude in comparison, as the gen just looks more refined.
cwai02 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 (edited) fake. Trusty uses the same photos. http://www.trustytime.com/index.php?main_p...products_id=598 Edited June 10, 2006 by cwai02
