> [@95d16turbo](#): > > if you read in his description, he said it has a see through back. i dont know of any company that uses a see through back on a watch that has a dial on it. I know they make skeleton cases where you can see the entire movement but none with just a see through back. Are you fucking joking? TONS of watches have a display back…IWC, Patek, JLC, Panerai, Omega, Seiko, Zenith Are you sure you’re a watchmaker? **_Zenith:_** _IWC:_ _Panerai:_ _Blancpain:_ ---

> [@boxxa](#): > > Shitty pics but here it is: Ok really quick The sub dial (seconds) is set too far in, the date cyclops is totally inaccurate, the date wheel is white not black like it should be, the crown guard isn’t flush, the crown is too thin, the dial spacing is off, and last but not least; the bracelet is all polished…panerai doesn’t make an all polished bracelet That’s probably one of the shittiest replicas I’ve ever seen.
