In which case, I am very pleased to have missed out! Thanks guys

Ha ha - I didn't even notice that! Good call and thanks.

I've seen this watch for sale but I can't seem to place it as a model anywhere. Apparently it has no papers etc as it was a gift http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Panerai-Luminor-GMT-/260778987510?pt=UK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item3cb7a38ff6 I had a wee go at bidding but before going any further I would appreciate your help identifying and letting me know whether it is real or rep. Cheers G

Thanks. Having had a look around - I'm guessing it's based on this one but clearly the shiny bracelent element is wrong. Hey ho. I've made mistakes in the past and may even make a few in the future

Yeah. Under $100 which I thought was quite reasonable. We'll find out tonight whether the date turns! :-) Having placed the order I then discovered a whole world related to replicas. I'll just be glad if the old man is happy. After that I'll see whether it is something I may try and get for myself.

Thanks for the explanation. I got the watch for my dad (long story behind that) so just looking for other opinion. I suppose the main one will be his but I'm quite happy with it.

Maxi dial? All new to me - what's that then?

I'm really not very good at this eh!? One last bash...............

Better?

First post guys but thought I would share my new watch. Just arrived this morning and photos taken on an iphone so not brilliant but it gives you an idea.
