I now believe it may be a PAM 124. Anyone agree?

I don't have a camera with me right now but I will post pics of all my reps bought in China when I get back to the states. How do I tell if it's titanium vs SS?

I'm a newbe who just bought a Panerai at a Shanghai copy market. I don't know exactly which model it is so I'll descibe it. The dial is Navy Blue. Says LUMINOR PANERAI Automatic. Seconds at 9. Power Reserve dial near 5 position. Date at 3. Black rubber strap. I see posts here with all...

Can anyone tell me how much I'd have to spend in a Shanhai copy market for a decent watch with an ASIAN 7750 movement? Keep in mind you can get some terrific deals there.

Thanks guys. I've been to this market three previous trips and have bought watches, bags, shoes, and a nice Northface coat. The coat cost me $24USD. I've learned to bargin from a buddy who lives in Shanghai. We're both American but can usually get a pretty good deal. I gotten two Rolex Subs...

Sunday I'll be at the Shanghi Watch market on Sunday. Boy, do I wish I had 1/2 the knowledge most of you guys had. I'd just like to get a couple of nice watches with say 7750 movements in them. I'm looking for a nice Panari, a Rolex Daytona two-tone, and a Omega Planet Ocean. I'm not much...

Are there any practical ways to tell a good movement from a poor one without taking the watch apart? I will be visiting the "rep markets" of Shanghi soon. I don't think they will take a watch apart but I may be wrong on that. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks Fakemaster. I will post a photo when i can get ahold of a camera. Does anyone know where the main dealers are in China, as in what cities? I'm on the coast in Qingdao about half way between Shanghi and Beijing. I'll be here another 2 weeks or so.

You're right the hour hand keeps slipping. I assume there is nothing I can do about this. I will be going back where the orig dealer has a booth, so I might propose a trade.

Damn, I guess you get what you pay for. I travel in China about 1 month a year ussually with a couple of nights in Shanghi each visit. I have picked up reps that I liked the appearance of without really knowing their back ground. I have a Rolex Sub with the green bezel which I like alot and...

Yes, When the minute hand was on 12 the hour hand would be 1/2 way between two hours. I'm an engineer and while I've never taken a watch apart I'm pretty sure the two hands are joined in a fixed relationship to each other via gears. It's now been about 48 hrs and I must say it hasn't totally...

I just got a Panerai Lumina over here in China at a copy market and I didn't notice until to late that the hour hand was off by exactly 1/2 hour. I didn't feel like wearing it but yesterday I decided to wear it just to see if it would keep time. Now after 24hrs it appears to be ok? Is this...

Ok, Now how do I tell a good movement from a bad one? I know to look for a smooth second hand. From the pics I see here I think some of the watches I get here are pretty nice....

I am new at this but I want to start collecting replicas. I am currently in Shanghi where I visit periodically on business. I've been to the copy markets and have picked up a few watches. Over here they run about $25 - $30 for the major brands I see posted here. They start with a price of...
