mjmurphy926 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 So, I always thought that the engraving on a gen H series 6497 looked like this: But look what I found on the bay. It's advertised as a 113H: Looks a hell of a lot like my rep: The gen font seems a little thinner, but the size and spacing look really close. Either the watch on the bay is fake (I don't think this is the case), or it would seem that OP engraved their bridges similar to our reps for a period of time. Thoughts?
Pugwash Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 The gen has engraved text and the rep has stickers. No comparison.
V Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 Thoughts? Sorry to burst your bubble but I think both watches have similar thin engraving different to the rep one...
mjmurphy926 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Posted October 2, 2008 The gen has engraved text and the rep has stickers. No comparison. Not true Pug. The latest swan neck reps are engraved.
mjmurphy926 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Posted October 2, 2008 Sorry to burst your bubble but I think both watches have similar thin engraving different to the rep one... Similar in thickness, but the positioning is very different on the 2 gens. I was mostly speaking of the positioning. See how the "I" on the 113 is partially hidden? That looks like my rep. I always thought the gen positioning was more like the top picture. But you're right V, the gen engraving is definitely thinner.
t Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 this watch looks like a rep for me? a dirt balance on a gen???
lazarini Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 mine rep 111 is engraved... still V is spot on correct both of the above gens have much thinner and darker color engraving ... not even close to our reps ... laz
mjmurphy926 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Posted October 2, 2008 this watch looks like a rep for me? a dirt balance on a gen??? Well you are the 6497 expert t...But what do you mean by "dirt balance"? BTW - Here is a link to the item: http://cgi.ebay.com/Panerai-PAM-113-LUMINO...id=p3286.c0.m14
V Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 you are right.. positioning is different.. the watch you show from the back is 99,9% gen.. definately gen cg and unique caseback engraving serials.. movement looks gen too (shine of bridges)
mjmurphy926 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Posted October 2, 2008 You guys are right. I just supersized one of my pics of my movement and the font is more than slightly thicker. Actually it looks to be about twice as thick...Once again, I get all excited over nothing...
t Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Well you are the 6497 expert t...But what do you mean by "dirt balance"? BTW - Here is a link to the item: http://cgi.ebay.com/Panerai-PAM-113-LUMINO...id=p3286.c0.m14 ok the watch is genuine but please check the balance on one of the pictures... do you see this dirt on the ring of the balance??? is this only from picture?
