Repwatch, the watch looks great, can I ask you if there are genuine Panerai parts, where did you get the Angelus mechanism replica which looks very real, did someone make it for you or did you do yourself? To have a watch like this how much did it cost you if it's not indiscrete? 

It's poor form to start this discussion in another individual's thread about their watch. If you're unfamiliar with the internet and forums my recommendation for you is to create your own thread to discuss your completely separate topic. Cheers and welcome. In addition this is a tired and beat up discussion that you can easily find opinions on WUS and other places. Just leave it as "different strokes for different folks."

 

BTW, absolutely NOTHING about this build is "buying a rep." What you see here in the desire to create something identical to the original in almost every way possible.

Thanks for your answer, I understand better, I guess you need to be very handy and have a lot of time to look for pieces, I can understand perfectly, what I don't understand, I tried myself, is just buy a rep and wear it as you bought it. 

I must admit that this watch really looks very good, what surprises me is that the Angelus mechanism looks like the real one, very well done..

I just registered to this forum to try to understand what moves you guys, I am 42, have loved watches since I am 15, but I love them for the history of the brand, the movement inside, I own 3 Panerai, genuine ones, the 233, and 2 special limited editions, the 28 (1000 pieces made) and the 82 (300 pieces made), I was able to buy them because I sold a house that I inherited, when I wear my watches in public I try for them not to be visible, in fact I wear them for me, not for others to see, I bought once a rep, it was a Rolex sub, good quality, but I never wore it more than 5 times and finally gave it to my nephew, it just didn't do it for me, I knew it was a fake, that the movement inside had nothing to do with the real 3135, and realized I preferred 100 times more to wear my Omega Seamaster, the basic model but automatic.

So I would really like to know, and there's no bad intent in this, what does it for you guys buying reps? I love the 203, but couldn't buy a rep.
