My name is Dexter and I live in the Netherlands.
I stumbled upon this site whilst browsing the internet for information on Panerai replicas.
After owning a gen Panerai for many years, I recently found out that the reps of these days are nearly as nice as the real thing.
So I started to search for some nice Panerai replicas and found my way here.
Hope to find lots of information here in the future!

Pics of my current reps:

Hi mate, welcome to RWI.
Looks like you are off to a flying start there. Plenty to read and
learn here and plenty of great dealers to buy from.

Here's a pic of my gen PAM 104:

panerai-06c.jpg


Even though this was a really nice watch, it was not without flaws.
I broke the axle whilst winding it up (I had it stored for much to long to shake it back to life) and payed more than 640 Euros to have that fixed and get a full service. :cry:
After I got it back I sold it for more than I payed for it when new so the pain wasn't to bad.
Now I own the 253 Flyback and it feels the same as the gen did.
Only difference is that if the movement breaks I simply replace it for much less then a full service for the gen would cost. :lol:

Big welcome here neighbour!

Danke schön für das herzliche wilkommen!
As you see I'm able to respond in German as well...:lol:

Yes, the Italian 183 looks very nice and since I'm in the EU it would be stupid not to buy it.
Also I already have the brand new PAM 127 Ultimate on my wishlist for this year!
And finally I'm thinking about selling the Rolex DSSD, even though it is only 3 weeks old and I have worn it once.....I cannot get used to the smaller sized dial and those ridiculous hands. :frusty:

hi, everyone here is knowledgeable and full of opinions and thats a good thing because I had so many new doors opened that have led me to watches unknown, and after seeing some of the actual picture of the reps i wanted made me not want them. So just make sure you go to the trusted dealers where they take pictures of actual stock.
