Is it true, that your middle name starts with an "A", as in Artist ?

Your comment is cozy. But do not forget that the Egiziano was an order, made for a specific reason,and not for promenade parade, some years later,by wackos like us. No?

Easily earned $$$. Do you know the average monthly income in China ? And don't be so sure about low selling numbers. They do sell lots of them.

Expensive or not,they laugh on the way to the bank. $ 400 plus for a cost of barely $ 50. I think that replicas enter the era of inflated prices. As most of the gens. Something smells fishy

That's the main ,emphasis to main,reason for bad mouthing replicas. Some 'clever' chaps are trying to fish into ignorance and sell seaweeds for ribbons of silk.

Alpha with a big A. Not a lucky guess though. I got one from them hours ago.

Very nice watch.Enjoy it until a new thing comes along. BTW,those who spend thousands on gen watches are not idiots .Simply they have the money .Nothing more ,nothing less

I can "see" your point,but he is a mender.He is able to cure a sick watch,and I 've seen DEAD and gone thingies, in his hands, getting new life. Most of all he has no gains in telling me that a movement is cheap and dirty or gen,since I am not buying watches from him,because he is not selling. His attitude is pure pro and he is charging peanuts for his services. My knowledge in movement things are ZERO, as far as mechanics are the subject,therefore I have to rely on what he says. If he gets it wrong ,then I say wrong too. That simple

Hi, I don't know your expertise in watches and movements. Mine is equal to an amateur 4th division level. But my watch restorer is adamant in saying that,contemporary china made movements,are ( in his words) " winding" better than many supposedly superior swiss made ones. As for 6497 movements,he says, that they are very good ultra reliable workhorse machines,and are a breeze to restore even if they are damaged to a certain point. He says that 6497 and all the similar breed of movements ,are an apprentice watchmaker's, first day in school course.

Very nice piece.I like the blue dial lots. The back plate is superb . Enjoy it

I dunno, just asking ,really. It would be very interesting ,I think, if Dieva ,state a clarification on it.( If they do care to...) Don't you think so?

Hi, I 'd like to ask a couple of innocent questions. What makes those DIEVAS legal ? A royalties payment agreement with Panerai ,or there is no more patent exclusivity on behalf of the owner,(design etc)? As for the price, $ 520 is quite high,for a replica,that one can buy for a mere $ 200 to $ 220

I wish to all of you and your precious loved ones Happy New Year.(and let those watches ticking)

The ship, is simply, a Pam watch carrier ,as for the serial number of your 112,how should I know?

Some will say, that it is a kind of sterotype answer,non too intellectual,but quality is a very very difficult thing to appreciate. Panerai is simply that.Pure quality

That's life. Some people simply "fork out" sums of mojo,for a nice stereo setee for the living room and put their $ 20000 loudspeakers behind big upholstery couches. Some use their cars and park them outside the cafeteria just for the show.Some are buying watches and other jewellery because they want to adorn their complex carrying personas to levels beyond reach. And excuse me, that's not funny

..stealing from the value vs price of the 127,climbing to crude oil levels Is it going to be the bracelet to a Panerai made one aka gen,or a dreaded replica aka fake ? Some say it can sing and dance...

Just because you said it. No one will insist that a fake is a real. But many will say that a replica is just that. A copy of a model. By using words correctly ,you can even say that, the first item that is made is the original.Every thing after that, is a replica of it. If this is acceptable,there is no reason to argue for fake and reals. A Chinese computer operated lathe is not beter or worse than a Swiss or an American one. Therefore,personally I don't care too much if my replica,if it is a replica and not a bad model, is made in China or Italy or Swiss. Come to watches, the exclusivity surely demands OTT prices,but that doesn't mean value. There is no measures for price. If your pocket carries the monies there you go.(My pocket does not) Enjoy your choices. ,

Try some elbow grease.It works fine for "oxidising " steel items.

Ah(t) last.Sanity is an acceptable state of mind for some. It is even less than that( $300). I can't help but wonder, why some consumers think that their money are buying equivalent values to their real value. If we accept, that there are no cheap or expensive products or commodities,only people with money and people with no money,we can understand the difference between price and value. Just as Vb said,the 127 is a $ 20000 and the 217 only $11000. The reason as said is marketability. The cost is exactly the same.(less than $300) But 1950 pieces is a drop in the watch oceans. And exclusivity as you know.... To quote from a TV interview about forbidden actions."...I am selling, love....Do you have to buy????
