Yes I ever saw some originals like that: Here's a good link also http://panerai.watchprosite.com/?show=forumpost&fi=717&ti=463631&s=0 If you look closely, the Cortebert 616 has some important bride-shapes differences compare to the Rolex mvt presented in your link and mine Oscar.;) I think that I found out who made the homage who's presented on the Bay because I saw some of his other jobs who was very similars. I am personnaly still not convinced and as I can't afford a real one from the time, I will still content myself with some shiny homage with clean dial :)

There is a HK company that specializes in aftermarket bridges for the vintage Cortebert and russian and unitas complete with branding and serials etc of your choice among other homage parts. Can't find the link to the website anymore but truth be told the Cortebert is not that hard to find and the aftermarket bridges are not hard to find and these panny homages are not hard to build. There's a few hundred bucks worth of parts there, even counting labor it would be a good deal somewhere well under 1k. There is something strangely hypnotic about a wabi'ed panny though!

Very good thread! I enjoyed reading it and learning from the exchange among gentlemen. Just my inputs as an amateur collector and only my opinion: when it comes to homages I set a US$1,000 top limit for it. Beyond that price point, I either look for something else worth owning or hunt down the real thing. An homage is nice to have and nice to wear..... once in a while.... but as a daily watch, nothing beats owning and wearing the real thing. It's like having a pin-up of Jessica Alba in the garage or toolshed...........nice to look at, nice to have.....but it's not the real Jessica Alba  .
