Gen PAM with stickers on rotor?

[turboGUATE]

Browsing around, I came upon this image of a 213 Rettrapante:

Is it me or does the rotor seem to have sticker marks???

Here's another pic of the same reference:

Please share your thoughts.

Cheers!

Second pic is a different watch. And yes the first rotor pic looks like a rep.

WHOA! Looks gen to me. Good find, pretty funny too I might say!

If it's a rep, it's a rep I wanna buy. Look at the finishing on the movement and the blue whatchamacallit wheels on the left side... yummyy

Of course, I'll open the caseback and remove the stickers before they fall into the movement :D

Both pics are from gens (same model number: 213, but different examples). But as I mentioned before, the interesting part is that even though it's a gen, it has stickers!

They have the double column wheel caliber (wish we could have such movement on a rep).

I find it SO difficult to believe that they put stickers on a gen rotor. You just know that at some point one is going to come off and land in the balance assembly.

Are you guys serious??? I realize that movement is beautiful, and I have NEVER seen it available as a rep before... BUT STICKERS?

Optical illusion. I've gazed lovingly at a 213 at the local AD many times. The rotor is engraved and inked.

I agree... Optical illusion. Picture taken with flash and I am very very sure that it is a gen article.

Seen the real watch without stickers... It's engraved.
