Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone here has experience with a rep pear wood box set for Panerai; is the look and quality of the box close to accurate? I would prefer to buy a gen box but they are going for as much as a PAM111 N V3! I'd rather allocate that money for a PAM243.

I have a gen Rolex box set and the rep version I've seen online is nowhere close in terms of quality. Even if you've never seen a Rolex box in your life you'd know the rep box was fake just based off of the poor construction quality.

Here is one set I found on Timesshop:

Quality is good - but they ARE different from the gen boxes.

I have another one for sale - havent had a chance to list it yet on the forum but it is just like the last two that I sold.

PM me if you are interested

Rep box is crap, sorry. Not even close to the real thing and looks and feels plasticky. The plaque inside is incorrect, the velvet insert is a dust magnet, has a nasty synthetic fee to it...the pillow has some weird padding that don't keep shape...basically, if you after any degree of accuracy or quality, avoid.

I'm disappointed. Hoping the rep box was first rate quality, but it appears that is not the case.

It would seem like the rep box would be easy to manufacturer close to gen but its way off. Not even the right box version for the modern luminor models.
