watcher71 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share 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 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher71 Posted June 10, 2006 Author Report Share 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 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I say rep. The crossbars in the A's are too low to be gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Rep. I remember seeing a dealer here with the same pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Movement isn't as nicely finished as genuine... A bit crude in comparison, as the gen just looks more refined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
