Hi,
I'm new into this replica world but I have been reading up on quite a bit over the forums.
The only contact with watchreplicas I've had have been bad, but most likely because they were really cheap replicas. The view I get from reading this forum is that the replicas sold by the vendors on here are pretty well made, almost like the gen? Personally the thing I look in watches are how they look, not much in how they function, mechanically that is. Of course I want a functioning watch.
So, my questions? Well here they are:
1. I'm certain I want a Panerai 111H with a Steel band.
2. Where is the best place to get one? Do the different vendors differ much in price/quality?
3. Should I get the Asian or Swiss version? Can you please explain the difference in function/looks/quality?
4. Is it water-resistant?
5. If I understood correctly this watch is manual, never had one of those before, can I get a quick answer on what that means? I've understood you have to do something to it everyday for it to hold time?
The most important thing to me is that the watch looks good, and actually works without breaking, as I said before, the replicas I've seen before have broken within a month, almost always the screw holding the bracelet fails.
Is the Swiss worth the money over the Asian, and if so, why?
Hopefully I'll get some good answers and then the 111H I want.
Thanks in advance!
