lanikai Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Haha, ok, such pressure. Hopefully mine will come soon. We need someone to review a 164 and 104 as well. I didn't get those. Yet. 104 on the way.. if you don't check the tracking it will get to u faster maybe we can get sssurfer to take the pics of the 104 and do the review justice.. i will wait until u do yours.. don't worry .. I got faith in u ,.. not to choke .. just the entire forum is watching U... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 They do. I'm curious to see the AR. The photo on King's site doesn't look like double AR. all the new releases are "single AR" as is the genuines.. it is a error on the collectors specs... it is the same as the 092 Arktos that was released last year.

lello Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Just a couple of other pictures of the gen, taken from my catalog of special editions 1997 - 2006: As you see, on the back, there are a couple of slight differences in the type position..., but perhaps this is something we can live with... What's a bit worse, is the type on dial "L swiss made L", which is too close to 6. What wonders me and I'm sure many of you as well, is how can they make all these efforts in building so much detailed new reps and keep making these silly little mistakes?... It's like reaching the top of Everest and at 4 meters from the very top, turn down and coming back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskent69 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Maybe they will correct the L SWISS MADE L on the next run of these watches? That would be excellent. Has anyone talked to Trusty, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Maybe they will correct the L SWISS MADE L on the next run of these watches? That would be excellent. Has anyone talked to Trusty, etc? I believe I mentioned it in passing. EDIT: Can't post what I did, since I went to double-check, and can't find the reference. A new trend. Limited Edition reps of Limited Edition gens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lello Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) I'm sure many of you already know, but just to make sure... The L swiss made L on the Pam 104, it is right: They maybe thought it was the same for the 229..., but it's not Edited January 6, 2008 by lello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazonkers Posted January 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Maybe they will correct the L SWISS MADE L on the next run of these watches? That would be excellent. Has anyone talked to Trusty, etc? I'm sure they already have all the dials made for the next run if they are due out in 2 weeks. Maybe the next run after that if they sell all 3000 or whatever number of these they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Updated pics of the dial and the AR can be viewed now on Perfect Clones...and Trusty.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 it could be photoshopped (or an overly long exposure), but the lume on this one doesn't look half bad.... deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'm sure many of you already know, but just to make sure... The L swiss made L on the Pam 104, it is right: They maybe thought it was the same for the 229..., but it's not Lello, I think the angle in that photo is deceptive. The print shouldn't be quite as close to the 6 as seen below. Neither the open or closed 6 version of the gen has the L SWISS MADE L print so close: GEN OPEN 6 GEN CLOSED 6 (J Series) REP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobs1971 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Here's another pic with a close L Swiss Made L. But it looks like the same watch as Lello's pic. Could this be a preliminary Panerai pic? Wouldn't be the first time they do this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellomen Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Indeed... distance should be more than shown on these replicas. Panerai uses a nice distance between the 6 and the "L SWISS MADE L". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgodeep Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I am sure another maker known for their Panerai repros only.......has some auto projects planned including 104/164/086-088/089 Apart from being spent up ....I'm going to wait to see what comes out later in the month for auto pams FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you're right it's not the angle... I guess a dial was made with printing like that. Strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolli Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 it makes no sense to talk about the flaws. the collectors, dealers and makers know everthing. they use a new color but the rest is wrong. and it's very simple to make a correct dial. for me it's a pi**-take, let us talk about useful things and not about musings. the avid members buy either way. rolli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cskent69 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I agree with Rolli. That exclusive maker makes great PAM's - but I have yet to see one that I would say is "ultimate" or without it's own idiosyncracies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
