jmt Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 OK, guys. Here is mine. Its on my 111H with a fat, but rep, crown. I am very interested to see this with an OEM crown. It took a good bit of filing by hand to get the level to work without pain, but it is easily doable while sitting on the couch watching baseball . Anyway, the lever is nice and firm and I think the profile is nice. Great job V, and thanks for bringing this to us! J
jmt Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Posted June 17, 2008 They look very nice!!! Shame the pic isent that good!!! But for all i can see is it looks fat and nice a bit rough maybe!!! Congrates!!! And nice work V... //robi No, not rough. Just a lousy pic. Sorry guys... It's late and my photog skills stink...They do look good though...
gianton Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Looks nice and fat. Can you post more pics from the side, back and with the lever open pls?
jmt Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Posted June 17, 2008 Looks nice and fat. Can you post more pics from the side, back and with the lever open pls? Sure... side: back: lever open:
gianton Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Looks nice, thanks. Is yours 111 with a standard rep case?
jmt Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Posted June 17, 2008 Looks nice, thanks. Is yours 111 with a standard rep case? Yep. josh case.
kye_lin Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks. The CG are awesome.... I got them on my 201A and gonna PVD one for the 202A.....
promotersf Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Awesome, I got one from V but shipped it with a modded 111h to a lucky member in Australia...enjoy. Now I wish I had ordered 2 so that I could have kept one...this was a special project that may or may not ever be replicated again so those lucky members that have them are...lucky!
V Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks guys.. some more photos... With the lever is the rep and without the OEM for comparison..
ajoesmith Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 For me its really difficult to see the difference between the rep CG and V'sCG in the pics above that V has provided. Can someone enlighten me?

Fish Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 For me its really difficult to see the difference between the rep CG and V'sCG in the pics above that V has provided. Can someone enlighten me? Well, have you ever seen a correct H-series CG on a rep? This is the first one and probably the only one we will see in the near future, well a few of them... Next to the replicated CG is the original that gave its dimensions for the specifications for manufacturing. Which one is the gen?
V Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 For me its really difficult to see the difference between the rep CG and V'sCG in the pics above that V has provided. Can someone enlighten me? Here are the two most common versions cgs panerai made for the historics.. both genuine in this photo.. Let say A-F series (polished) and H+ and Pre-V series (brushed)... I think you will see now the difference. Thing is that the A-F is much easier to manufacture because of the lack of curvature. The Rep makers just made a bad rep of the A-F series and kept it in all the models whatever series. H+ is thicker with a big curvature. I won't start though on the construction quality.. No rubber part between pin and lever leading to floppy levers, not flush pins, not flush fitting on the case with huge gaps etc etc...
cskent69 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks guys.. some more photos... V - what case is the one in this picture? It fits great on this one.
V Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 V - what case is the one in this picture? It fits great on this one. Joshua's standard rep case...
jmt Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Posted June 17, 2008 You guys are crazy! No, we aren't. The pics V provided are the OEM and HIS replication. I will try to post pics later of his rep v. the standard rep. His has a narrower (is that a word?) gap between case and lever than is standard and a slightly different shape.
gianton Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Will try it to my DSN 112... not sure if it's a standard rep case. Will find out beg next month. Anyone try to fit it to a dsn case yet?
frankt Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 You guys are crazy! [/quote I agree....I don't spend that much on whole watches!!....This entire "hobby" has become whacky in the past year or so....Guys absolutely obsessing on "sapphire, A/R,and lume" issues...and don't even get me started on 6 versus 8 ticks per second!! They're only effin watches for crissakes!!! :bicycle:

Whatever makes you happy. Just understand that yours isn't the only point of view out there, and differing opinions about what is acceptable/important don't mean that one side is "right" and the other is "wrong". Each unto his own.
slai Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Will try it to my DSN 112... not sure if it's a standard rep case. Will find out beg next month. Thx. So hard to decide on what to do with the CG. It's definitely a nice decision to research though.
