comical, but whatever.

Steeel is reeeal, maaan.

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

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.

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

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.
