  1. A final note is a watch store owner who carries Rolex, Breitling, Patek, Tag Heuer and Cartier told me that

    he once tried to carry Officine Panerai and found the brand very difficult to deal with and that Panerai had a real sense of entitlement in its business dealings

    and abandon the idea of carrying the line..........in the end it is a business.

    +1 ...

    Same info from a local well known store, this side :-((

  2. Mine arrived, before xmas (thanks to Narika for a pleasant and quick tranasction) and all I can say is... all compliments, that´s the perfect watch for a teenager that likes watches. No mechanical problems (it's a quarz) , no need to wind it (tenns have other thing to think about) , funny, cool, excellent quality/price ratio. It made the perfect xmas present . Just added a funny two pieces NATO, the rep pmega strap was too serious. Recommended (note: hard core picky rep gicks stay apart).

    No ofense, but is not only nato wich is totally wrong. Bracelet links are also wrong, should be brushed/matt, not shiny/polished like original Seamaster.

    Other minor issue is "5" on bezel is also different from gen.

    And the big tell if you know where to look, the inner metal ring by the bezel is slightly thinner than gen, the black bezel part looks wider :(((

    IMHO, one step forward, two-three steps backwards compared with standard already existing Seamaster rep.

    As I said on previous post, this version seems like rushed, not worth.
    BraBracelet should be matt....not shiny like original seamaster 300.

  4. I agree with all off the above responces.When I see someone wearing a panerai I instantly think fake.They stuffed up by releasing to many varients.Who knows if its real or not.Would I  spend the asking price for an authentic piece answer     NOl

    I do not have that "so strong" feeling/reaction with PAMs.

    Instead, everybody that sees a Rolex in someone else´s wrist , inmediatly ask/think , is it a fake?. No doubt, Rolex is the brand with "more doubts" :-)

     

  5. Hi,

    looks like we´ll have a new "big kid" 47mm Luminor summersible with us (I love those big kids) :)

    PAM371 Regatta Luminor Summesible 47mm Titanium.

    Not much, info at the moment, a part from the link bellow (with some pics) and the gen web page to read about it. Looks like it was created for the winners of the 2011 Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge as an unique edition of 500 units.

     

    Here goes the rep link...

  6. I am a happy owner of a beautiful KW382, running smooth and Ok since novenber.

    After reading the pros and cons of both. I choosed the KW version, again. I love big 47mm KWs :-).

    Supperior finishing compared to ZF.

    I would consider KW as a high quality rep , only by fixing case shape issue (somehow frustrating, since the watch is pretty well finished). On the other hand you need a side by side comp. to appreciate those unacuracies/differences.

    Also I´m not fond of the combo : "light weight titanium / noisy asian rotor" ,  it gives something like "el cheapo"  flavour.

    IMHO...

    if you already own the ZF, do not worry to much about the new KW, enjoy it , you already have a nice rep.

    if you are going to buy now, go for the KW.
