The watch was deemed to be a fake, according to the source provided. So what was the purpose of this thread OP?


It's a Millennial thing, ask the same question over and over till you get the answer you want.

Subliminal messages in the form of a bottle of Champagne, suggesting wealth and affluence.

'Cept it's a bottle which sells for 25 euros . . . and it's empty.


Bwahahahahaahaha. . . .

May I say you're wrong here ?.. R.013 sells for 28 to 35€, not 25 ...
and that PAM probably sells for $150, not 4.5K :hehehe:

It may sell for 35 euros, not worth more than 25.

Never tried so I can't say [emoji6] but "price is not quality" ... not always.
My best buy is a 15€ champagne, sold only to sponsored buyers, that can compare with Ruinart Blanc de Blanc ... really !!!
Sorry for the French language but ... finesse des bulles, longueur en bouche, rondeur, tout y est ou presque et parfois en mieux (à mon goût) ... If it was a Rep I would note AAA+ [emoji39]

I just went through the thread in Danish.
Seems intirely legit.
The forum is “urdebatten” (the watch debate)
Our OP here presumably found it bizarre that the watch has not been confirmed fake of gen yet.
I don’t see anything wierd in reposting this story here - it’s a really strange story.



OP,
I'm breaking this down as to better understand your shared story from a guy on another forum for a watch that is not even yours:
1. Which Forum was this "guy" posting from?
2. Did this guy disclose the type of source he purchased from in Italy?
AD?, TD?, M2M?, Some guy on a street corner?
3. Did this guy disclose his purchase price?
4. What reason(s) caused him to 'suspect' the authenticity of the watch?
5. Did the AD he took the watch to offer an explanation as to why they were unable to confirm gen or fake?
Seems a bit strange that an AD selling Panerai wouldn't know specs on a watch they had obtained authorization to sell. And is it realistic that the AD would send it to Panerai just to provide authenticity?
6. After 6 months, Panerai was unable to identify authenticity of their watch? Seems highly unlikely vs "seemingly crazy" as you have commented.
7. Given the unlikely facts you have shared stating neither the AD nor Panerai could establish authenticity. Why would you feel that members on this forum would seriously consider verifying authenticity based on this rather unbelievable story?

OP, your post prompts me to ask questions maybe you could answer, like:
What motivated you to share another guys post from another forum about a watch that isn't yours? Or is it? If this guy from another forum was unable to obtain confirmation of authenticity by another forums members, AD or from Panerai ( the watch makers themselves )
What was your point in doing it all over again?

Your motivation to post this based on the facts you have provided, IMHO is Questionable to say the least. Do you honestly expect the answer(s) to your post based on the 3 poor quality photos you provided ?

Your reason(s) for posting is even blurrier than your photos. Maybe a little more background to better establish the relavence and importance of your post would make it seem less like total B.S. to me. A little more consideration as to the believability of this story from another guy or yourself would help.

THANKS! Exactly - and you as you found - if you read through the thread the owner states that he actually doesn’t know whether the watch is fake or not (also pretty strange). I thought someone in here could spot something that would call out the watch as either fake, gen or franken. Never thought I would get the reactions I did in here :-/

If Panerai in HK cannot detect whether a watch submitted to them is gen or rep in 6 months then they are simply trying to avoid the service as their staff do not have enough experience. Maybe they ought to employ some of the experts here instead [emoji6]

It does sound strange that it was sent to Panerai and they weren't able to confirm. I highly doubt that.

Exactly ! That's a made up factoid to enhance the storytelling
