fishgodeep Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Pretty sure this isn't gen Colour looks wrong , steel plaque looks wrong, and it has the "usual suspects" fake libretto and guarantee card but no Storici or outer box / production labels which haven't ever been repped to my knowledge.

ravishingrick Posted March 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Thanks for the input FGD. I recently purchased the exact same box under the impression it was genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellomen Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I bought this box from a fellow member who told me the box was genuine. Later i sold this box to RR who now claims it's fake... Please let me now what you think. The person who sold me this watch told me it was an old A, B, C or maybe even D series box. These where slighty darker he told me. Love to hear your expert opinions.

takashi Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I thought the fake one has misspelling on the warranty card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricciola Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Is fake, Warranty card is write ( Certifidato ) Gen is Certificato I thought the fake one has misspelling on the warranty card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Like i already posted, the papers and screwdriver are fake... the box should be gen. I am amazed if people can judge if a box is fake or gen by some papers... i thought we where talking about the box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Guys, If I remember correctly this box was mine. I had two boxes: one from a dealer here (not sure which though), one from Tomyama (eBay) The box is absolutely genuine has it is the one from Tomyama. The fake one is now in Andy's hands (FrxAnady) As Yello posted, the libreto and screwdriver and so on are fake, but the box is not. If any of you know Tomy, they should know he never sells fake stuff. Allthough neither Yello, nor me are sure this box comes originaly from me, I thought I should shime in. I would absolutely recomend to ask SSSurfer's opinion about it Hope this helps, Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Anyone have an opinion if the following box is OEM or REP? Would really like some feedback to settle this dispute. http://www.rwg.cc/members/gen-Panerai-box-...;hl=panerai+box The box itself looks OK to me. I have two genuine Panerai with all the papers and stuff, plus a third box that I bought on 'Risti from a very prominent UK member. All three boxes vary very slightly in colour and the 'black' outers also are different shades of grey. However, I don't doubt that they are all genuine. The hinges and hardware are exactly the same in all three. My third box now has a genuine warranty booklet and a blank card that came with my 111 which was supplied new from the AD with 2 booklets and cards - obviously a mistake as one set was between the insert and the wrap-around black felt thingy. From the photos I don't see anything that would lead me to knock the box as being a fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Agree that the warranty card and screwdriver are fake (as described on the sale page). That doesn't mean that the box is fake. The colour looks the same as the gen D series box (just happened that my good friend has one of this). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 All I can add is that on my picture the difference between a gen and a fake is obvious... Also, if I understand it well, Yello sold the gen one for 110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 .... I paid much more than that .... So did i After giving it some thought i'm pretty sure i bought Stephane's box. I sold it around 3 months ago to Ravishingrick. But if Rav is not satisfied and is convinced the box is fake i will take it back of course. But even than i'm interested in the experts opinions as i have no use for the box and like to sell it again... as a gen or as a fake, that depends on the experts opinions. In my memory i discussed this box with Taka and we back i think we concluded it was an older series box. Somewhere A-D series. But i deleted all emails so i can't look it up anymore. Ravishingrick mailed me he will post some comparisson photos of the box i sold him and a gen K series box. Let's wait and see the photos.

ravishingrick Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Thanks for the responses so far. They are greatly appreciated. I shall post some pictures tonight comparing the box with my OEM K series box. Also with some comments why I have doubts about the authenticity. @Stephan: Could you let me know if the outer black box and the white foam foil between the outer black box and pearwood box came from a replica set or belonged to the "OEM box set".

I'm sorry Rick, I have no idea. It could as well be the one of the rep box I had...if it's my box of course (but I'm more and more convinced that Yello bought it from me...
