Being somewhat of a replica watch newbie I'd like some input about this issue from the replica experts. How long should a good quality replica last? For example, I'm seriously considering buying one of the Ultimate Panerai watches being sold on these forums for $250-400. Can I expect them to last at least a few years? The reason I ask is that a cheap genuine watch (say Guess etc) is priced around the same mark however I can be sure it will last at least 5 years with a battery change. The other issue is that the sellers are usually in China so repairing the watches can be a problem.
Anyone care to weigh in on this?
