Noddy Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 There are some inexpensive Panny Marina Militare reps sold regularly on pmwf.com from a seller named militaritime. They are typically around $70 but he offers several upgrades. I know that they aren't great and that a DSN would run 4x the price but are they any good for the money?

cougaree Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 The price is about right. However, when you do buy one of those, then you will start wondering if DSN's better... later you might end up with one... after that you will realize that you wasted your $70 because you don't need two watches... Anyway, I bought stuff from the following two sellers, they are about in the price range you specified. Really nothing wrong with the watch... you will get what you pay for. If you are not into making sure yours is as close to gen as possible or sapphire crystals... then this is a good way to go. http://www.helenarou.com/ind.html http://www.manbushijie.com/index.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidestro Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Technically they are not reps, they are "homage" watches. I love when snobs on gen forums absolutely trash reps and then wear a "homage" watch, often times they are made in the same factories.

Actually the vendor I mentioned sells both and I'm inclined to buy a sterile dial "homage". I've looked at helenarou also btw. If I go for one of these I think it will be one from militaritime with the swan neck and sapphire upgrades and then the only thing that I'll really want will be the lume redone and a Strap Culture strap someday 'cause I love the pirate logo buckle. Of course there are 2-3 Omegas and a Rolex or 2 ahead of the Panny right now on the want list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 FYI, if you want sterile dial Rolex, then contact Homer on RWG. He sells them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougaree Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I have a DSN sterile PVD MM and will be getting a polished SS Vac MM. Check them out! I like them. Honestly, the sterile Rolex is also pretty good. I especially like the dial made by Bill Yao from MKii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noddy Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Thanks but not looking to spend the price of a DSN on this type of watch. This one needs to be cheap 'cause I'm not crazy over it just want one for occasional wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Sorry, newbie here. Thinking about getting a decent quality rep. or maybe homage. What is DSN? Feel free to PM me with further info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
