Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this forum, so some of the things I wrote might sound stupid to more knowledgeable members, but this is due to my lack of knowledge when it comes both to Panerai watches, and replicas of them. I started reading about replicas 2 days ago, and how the process of buying one, works.
I am hoping that with the help of more experienced members, I will be able to buy my first Panerai (replica). Buying a one seems more complicated than I thought.
I am set on a 312 with black leather strap. From what I’ve learned in the past 2 days from reading information in the Reference PAM REVIEW GUIDE, I see that there’s several manufacturers that make Panerai replicas – Noob, ZF, VSF, with Noob coming closest to the "real thing". Unfortunately, most of the links in the post, are no longer working (8 years have passed since)
I also read the thread about the V5 NOOB PAM111, and I was hoping I’d find a similar one for the PAM 312, but didn’t.
So, I’m hoping that members that are better informed and up to date with the latest, could help me (and maybe others) with some information such as:
-which manufacturer makes the best 312, and which is their latest version
-which TD would you suggest buying from (as different TDs work with different factories) - with location being a factor for shipping (I am based in the EU)
-could you please help with feedback once I receive the QC photos. I am sure some of you can point out possible flaws which my untrained eye would miss.
Thank you.
