teddy boy Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 A response to recently posted pictures of a rep 029 indicated that the version pictured had the "correct A." Could one of the Panerai experts explain what the issues are with the A on the Pam 029? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Perhaps it was a genuine dial ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy boy Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Perhaps it was a genuine dial ? I didn't get the sense that it was a genuine dial. Regardless, my knowledge base is so poor that I don't understand the issue with an "A" on the 029 dial. Here is a link to the thread: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=72298 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 In most of the older Panerai reps, including the 029, the A has its crossbar too low, resulting in a larger upper triangle and a 'droopy' appearance. Just compare most rep PAMs with the corresponding gens - the newer reps (104 some subs etc) are correct but the bulk are incorrect. The 029 pictured in that post had the crossbar at the correct height so this must be a different run of dial. However if it is for the Asain movement only then this dial will not suit the more desirable ETA 2893 movement watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of y'all (I'm from NC) amaze me with your abilities to notice detail. I'm going to look more carefully at some gen pictures and also at some reps to see if I can pick up the difference.

Sir-Lancelot Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hey Teddy Boy, I am sorry you are in NC and not SC like me. Spend all your time looking at genuine watches on the net and at an AD, and then you too can be a watch nerd. lol I have learned just enough to make me dangerous, but I still have to bow to some of the master nerds on here. They have mad skills finding flaws with reps and I have learned so much from this forum and it's members. To all my watch nerd brothers, a toast.

cskent69 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I hope that they fix the 063 dial. That would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Davidson NC which is close enough to hold seasons tickets; a group of friends and I go to at least one road game a year. This year it will be to the UF game. If you're a season ticket holder, I'll walk by and make my manners next fall, talk Carolina football and watches. Great pic btw, you just needed a watch in the shot.
