I never wore it because I prefer aftermarket straps. I hear Panerai croc straps are the best.

With all the fakes I’ve been seeing on eBay, they should try something else… I know they have the “report item” thing, but whenever i report fakes, the auctions continues…

Similar specs as the OEM:

  • 1.6mm Flat Head Screwdriver Watch Repair Tool
  • Dimensions: 90mm(3.54 inch)(L)
  • Weight: 8g(0.02 pound)

The body style closely resembles the OEM Panerai screwdriver

Features:

  • Repair your watch, glass, computer, electronics by yourself
  • Swivel head handles for ease of use
  • Flat head diameter is 1.6mm

The difference can be seen by the actual bit... Looks like a regular bit rather than the Panerai one.

Here is a eBay listing

Here is what I'm calling the Rep Panerai Screwdriver Notice the head. This looks completely different from the Genuine Panerai one. You can get this screw driver for ~$3 Workmanship of the grip is excellent Notice the blue-ish black Screw holes looks clean.
