betenoir Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I was trying to feed my PAM jones and saw this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Genuine-Panerai-22-Sta...A1%7C240%3A1318 Is this real? How can one tell? What price would y'all put on it? And why? Thanks Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 For me as quit a noob on the PAM area it's hard to tell. Wait untill the real expert see this. Personally i wouldn't pay more the 100 euro for a gen claps but that's my opinion. Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgodeep Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Compared to my gen polished version - the construction and engraving looks correct on this for an OEM brushed clasp. There isn't really a great deal of difference between the better quality rep versions and OEM as far as cosmetics is concerned - the feel and operation is different though! Good luck FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Please take this with a grain of salt as I'm no expert, but I'd say fake. All the rep ones I've seen have one thing in common. The release buttons are loose and don't have the spring action that the gens I've handled have. I think this is what FGD meant. From the pics, it's evident that one of the push buttons seems to be pushed out via the tiny springs in the button, but the other doesn't. I'd say it's a rep.

betenoir Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Thanks I will pass as it is very pricey Any suggestions for sourcing a high end rep deployment clasp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Eastwood Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I think this one is a gen. The srping are not on the buttons but on each side of the ends of the deployant parts. I have gen to compare, the difference with rep is the middle bar(with the serial number in it) are right end, but on rep it are 5 angles end. An other difference is that the rep have springbars on the buckle, the gen a bar you cannot remove. Ask the seller for a pic of it closed; on a gen no space beetween parts, a rep cannot have this level of finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
