Oh you are.most welcome😊 Really I was just following up on @martycus post. However talk of 1:1 always amuses us. There is no such thing. So probably the best idea is to do what the rest of us do when researching a watch. Head over to your preferred dealer or dealers and see what is available, then research those options to see what are the strong points and weaknesses of each maker's offering and decide what YOU can live with and what YOU can't, which may very well be different from someone else's preference

If by people you mean senior Admin, crew and long standing members, and if by accusations you mean concerns, then you are probably correct There is far less wrong with buying a $7 rep on DHGate than in trying to fool others or yourself that a rep is genuine

Ah, the famous P factory https://www.panerai.com/en/network/authorized-dealers.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwwLKFBhDPARIsAPzPi-LjvpKf3jwfXv_pVi0CpGLA8V-EG4djl59h2i0V3RBTfCW9lmyk28caAlzPEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds If you are looking for 1:1 this is the place If you are looking to read and learn about the best Panerai reps and how no rep is ever 1:1 and the Chinese Ministry for Accreditation of Counterfeit Goods does not award AAAAA+ ratings, then all the information you could ever want is in RWG

Looking to fool people isn't what this hobby is about and if you think any watchmaker who has worked on genuine Rolex movements is going to be fooled by any clone movement, you are deceiving yourself

Some have speculated that they all start out as the same basic casting and the level of hand finishing is different. It is certainly better to judge each case individually as they do vary MQ is a PITA to deal with

I always question the motives of anyone who joins a forum simply to complain. Obvious I understand that if you were to sell a watch that was bounced around in the post halfway across the world, you would absolutely guarantee it wouldn’t be affected by that. I have also deleted your redundant post on a long dead thread. Please resist the temptation to post exactly the same post in different places again, you are just wasting forum bandwidth doing that

Correct. I bought a few for none rep builds

Genuine fakes, not at all like Chinese fakes of Swiss watches, which obviously an inherent evil😂

Andrew (Trusty) has started selling parts, could try there

Resurrecting a zombie thread to tell us what we already know, and you would too if you had done your research and read up before diving in

You should be able to directly post images on the forum Ali

Yes, please keep comments to the sales thread, it is okay to post a link to the sale here, since you had an enquiry

Again I have to warn you about selling outside the sales forum Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Anyone avenue any experience or thoughts on Ruby’s 1016 case? We are long overdue a good solution to 1016 cases

Welcome to our community

Yeah, I worked for a US multinational that banned us from using the word “blackboard” because it was racist, so every time a manager referred to a whiteboard I filed a formal complaint. If you met me you would probably assume I was Caucasian, but one of my direct ancestors was an emancipated slave who did very well in business. So I guess we could just all grow a pair, act like adults, judge people on how they behave rather than stereotypes and accept we all came from Africa it’s just a matter of how long ago

Depends how stuck you are brother. I have a mate who won’t disappoint, but he is in Europe drop me a message if you want

Remember it to is Chinese New Year at the moment and not getting a response from any Chinese company is to be expected Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Yes, but they are not entirely honest Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Daytonas at €500 instead of €30,000 list price. QED

Long gone maker

I wouldn’t waste money putting genuine parts into a Raffles kit, just enjoy it for what it is. With patience one can pick up Airking cases and dials on eBay, then use an ETa movement Going either way would be good, aiming for the middle ground probably not so much

Damn, that looks good Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
