Good evening Sogeha
Thank you for the reply and I meant my earlier reply in jest to some extent and certainly took no real offense, mainly because I realise and genuinely appreciate HaydemM is getting nothing from me in return for the time he invests in replying to what I am sure to an experienced rep hobbyist are fairly mundane and at times even moronic questions, comments, complaints etc.
My reply was intended in good humour and certainly tongue in cheek.
My expectations on the watch I am buying for a fraction of the retail price are realistic, in so much as I would like to actually receive a watch for my money and it last a reasonable period of time and during that time it look like a respectable watch in general quality, as you rightly say I do not expect a flawless copy, made from titanium :-)
On a serious note; I do hope my post has not been interpreted as questioning the validity and knowledge of the forum and it's established members.....being new at this there is an overload of information which, as has been explained to me......... for those in the know is blatantly unreliable!
Hayden M////thank you for taking the time and trouble to reply to my queries and impart some of your knowledge.
I have placed my order with puretime, using my credit card (got to admit I'm a bit nervous about that) but fingers crossed I will love the panerai flyback 212 v3 I hope to receive and if all goes well this could be the start of a very enjoyable hobby.
Like most people I love the watches and the designs....just not the price tags!
Once in possession of my replica panerai I will risk the wrath of HaydenM by posting a review :-)
Once again, I do truly appreciate the assistance and confidence this forum has given me to actually order! I have toyed with the idea on and off for years and just never had the nerve to actually enter my card details and click the button...so for that alone Hayden M and Sogeha.... THANK YOU!
