Guest asad Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 I have been noticing a couple of Panerai 27's at the Bay what makes me believe that they are fake is the Power reserve hand is not an arrow. This is the one which already sold: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...A:IT&ih=020 This one is going w/o any bids. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...A:IT&ih=002 What do you guys think; Legit or Fakes?
dadog13 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) legit...leaf hand was made inc series a and b series are with the arrow hand for the PR Edited February 15, 2008 by dadog13
Guest asad Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 legit...leaf hand was made in the b series.... a series is with the arrow hand for the PR So that was a good deal? on it for $3300?
dadog13 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 it was a great deal if it went for that amount...and if it was a genuine one...
PAMman Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 The pictures are both for legit watches without any doubt. The gen dials have the PR scale recessed into the dial and the dge of the recess window is clearly visible in both cases. Additionally, the rep is the T dial with the tighter dial layout - these are both L dials which have the leaf PR hand and the sweep secs hand is the correct length. The watches pictured are OK.
Watchmeister Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 P has it right. I initially thought the first one was fake as the date font looked like the rep not the gen - until I saw the recessed sub dial. I do have to say the first one still bothers me and I can't quantify why. I know P is right but I would still not have bid on that one.

I think that what's causing you some uneasiness, and initially me too, is the apparent 'droopy' As with the tell-tale low crossbars. However, unless it's a rep dial which we have never seen before, I think that this is caused by compression of the photos. However, I doubt if any genuine seller would sell a gen at that price. There's something not right about the 'sale' but I'm confident that the pictures are of a gen 027. The buyer might end up with something else, or nothing at all.
sssurfer Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 Gen dial, fake / replaced datewheel. I wonder why...
HauteHippie Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 Gen dial, fake / replaced datewheel. I wonder why... My thoughts exactly. What's going on with that datewheel? All else looks good.
