scoobs1971 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Took this shot of a gen 112. Looks like sometimes we really get too anal on our reps, while there a lots of differences in gens as well................ Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to take a comparison pic with another 112 sitting next to it, which had the L Swiss L lower - just the way we like it.

yellomen Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Looks like sometimes we really get too anal on our reps... Are you talking to me??? No kidding, but it was really good to finally see several gen Panerai to have some comparisson. The thing that i really niticed was that gen cases don't have any sharp edges, while the reps all do...

gianton Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 My DSN 112 dial compared to your photo. Not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Its not only the wrong positioning but mostly it is the size font almost double the gen size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobs1971 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Its not only the wrong positioning but mostly it is the size font almost double the gen size And that's only one of many other flaws.... Having seens so many gen PAMs today I cannot look on rep sandwich Historics anymore . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianton Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Doesn't look that bad in real... with Kosta's CG and a thick crown will look even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishgodeep Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I think there's only the 183-G and some of the better 127/217 dials that get things close......and maybe DSN's 232 Aint got no H series Sandwiches in my box as a result ....

PAMman Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I am not a big fan of sandwich dials in the 44mm historic range simply because I prefer the 'painted' dials. I certainly wouldn't consider a rep sandwich dial because of the levels of inaccuracy. Additionally they all have display backs to show off inaccurate and crudely finished movements that are either Asian copies or Asian modified 6497 movements. The only sandwich dial that I have ever owned is a first generation rep 127 from River, with the best case, sapphire dial and the best rep dial that I've ever seen. It has an unmodified Swiss 6497. I have considered buying a gen E or F series 111 and swapping the movements and then fitting the 111 with a rep B series caseback. Then I would have 2 very accurate frankens - a 001B and a 127, and the whole thing would be 100% reversible again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
