You can get the boxes the originals come with, too. I'm not sure the quality of these, just know you can get them.
do they come with replicated waranty cards and proper paperwork too? i ask as i purchased a panerai for ferrari fer 0004 with all 3 boxes, paperwork, waranty card, both bands and screw driver...i hope it is authentic!!!??? pcb
Sorry but I have no idea. I don't think you can get a warranty card with the s/n, but I'm not positive.
here is some fungus for you $39 and 100% fake! (loooks like it includes the warranty card as well !) Image Unavailable, Please Login
Instead of buying a fake, why not an homage? I am having one of these made for the Mrs: http://picasaweb.google.ca/blueradishstraps/CustomerGallery#5449684293469607490 With a couple of different custom straps And I am getting this for myself with a couple of custom straps: http://picasaweb.google.ca/blueradishstraps/StrapsInAction#5449687342543075890
What is the difference between a fake and a homage watch? Is it just that the use of the word "homage" makes it altogether more accepted? Or is there a physical difference? Surly if they look the same then its irrelevant as to what they are called, yes, no? I am new to this replica watch thing, and i am reading this thread with interest.
I've seen fake ones and real ones, and I can tell you that there isn't much of a difference. Not nearly enough of a difference to make up the extra $22,000+ difference in price.
So, by there not being any response to my question, i am naturally assuming that there is no difference between a "homage" and a "fake"?
Can any of you recommend a watch for someone with skinny wrists? A lot of watches dwarf my wrists and look ridiculous so I'm looking for something that isn't super fat and preferably has leather straps.
A replica is trying to a panerai (or other brand) when it is not. An homage is styled like the real thing without fake logos etc. The homage watches are also customizable (see my links above). I like the Panerai style, can't stomach wearing a fake, and won't pay the $$ for a new one - so an homage makes sense. there is an homage forum @ homageforum.com - it is a place to start.
Thanks for taking the time to explain that bud Can be like the proverbial blood from a stone trying to get answers to questions on Fchat at times. Thanks again, i now understand
Just ordered: Panerai Luminor Marina Hublot Big Bang Chronograph Graham Chronofigher Oversize AirWing Chopard Gran Turismo GT XL Hope the quality is not so bad
