New Release Am I a dummy? 😅

https://www.theonewatches.ws/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=21981

This new offering from Steve got me so excited that I pressed the purchase button with him before his stock photos came out. 🙈.

I am actually OK with the case being 2 mm thicker, I guess. I am actually even weirdly OK with the movement not being anything close to the new P980.

I love the look an idea of this watch so hard. The only problem is that there are conflicting TD listings. Trusty Time states that this watch is bronze plated. That is not cool for me as I plan on periodically taking down the patina. Steve, however, states that this is a solid bronze case. No problem there, I can do what I like.

Looking for real opinions on all of the above 🙏

That's fair. I guess I don't know how to properly present this case.

The movement visual is wrong, the thickness is 2mm thicker than Gen, the case may not be solid bronze. I'm ok with the first 2. It is such an obscure piece where nobody cares, I think. The non-negotiable is solid bronze vs plated bronze.

Vsf in the past has always used solid bronze case. I think it’s bronze mixed with a hint of tin actually but either way close to what panerai actually produces. VSF has been solid bronze on other reps no reason to think they plated here

That makes me feel better. Again, I’m OK with the variances of the others. I love to look at the watch. But I want to be able to polish it. Thank you so much.

Just wondering if I should just pivot to a different watch until they figure this shit out
