Hello everybody! I'm a vintage watches collector from Italy. I mostly collect watches of several kinds: mechanicals, electrics, early quartzes as well as digitals.

When it comes to the rep world, I used to shoo the idea of owning one in the past as I preferred to own the original one, but lately, U started changing my mind. Some reps are extremely well made and there's literally no difference from the original one, as well as a change in taste over the years, is making me teeter towards the idea of getting one.

Particularly, I fell in love with the vintage Panerai Radiomirs with the SLC dial. I've been always wanting one! But I simply can't afford the original one, nor I'll ever be able to. So, off the rep road I go! This is the place where I should be to fulfill this desire. Thanks for welcoming me. :)

Hi and welcome to the RWI Forums.

For an italian, you have really great English.

Genuines are getting more and more expensive over the last 2 decades and sometimes does not quite justify at all.

Hope you have a great time here.

Thanks
