Another faux pas....

comical, but whatever.

Steeel is reeeal, maaan. :chuckle:

I bet the ones that are kept in circulation will by collector's items. Like mis-stamped coins, mis-printed stamps... :cheers:

The only pieces as far as I know to come forward with that error are display pieces.

It was either done intentionally to throw off the fakers (unlikely) OR is a hugely embarrassing mistake. The only way to know is to see if any of the watches which have been sold contain the same error. I suspect we will find out soon.

If an error.... very dissapointing statement about quality control. Borders on comical.

I better run home and check my PAM's.

:rofl:

Mass robot-produced assembly line watches these ain't. :thumbsup:

I've seen a "Breitling" that said Made in Switchinternet

A post on a German watch forum seems to indicate that it was an actual error and was/is on pieces released to the public.

The question now for those few lucky owners is do you keep it as is or order a new caseback? Is it an annoying mistake or a rare "variant" worth big $$$$ down the road. Hmmmmm.

Panerai is going to want those mistake casebacks, back.

I don't know if it's worth more or not, likely not, but since it's where no one will see it I'd keep it as is.

Wow

Yep. That about sums it up for me too. :banghead:
