{*PCTeam*} Panerai Original Watch Box (Rep)

[sharrkey]

So I decided that my new Noob Pam 111N need a new home, and I've always wanted to check out what the rep boxes are like so took the plunge and ordered from Robbie @ Aobobuy.
Communication was excellent, great that he accepted Paypal, very very well packaged, and super fast shipping, now I know Robbie isn't a trusted dealer on Rwi but he's been around long enough and sold to plenty on the forum.
For the money the box is great, box comes with extra strap, papers and strap screwdriver, fit and finish is actually better than I had expected and for $45 what more do you want, but do consider that your postage will probably cost as much as the box.
Here's the link to the box on Robbie's site http://www.aobobuy.com/PaneraiBox-01-9369
Only got the chance to take a few quick pics, sorry for the poor quality but will follow up with more:maty:

Nice box. I was actually thinking about getting a couple of boxes for a my favorites, but the shipping cost was quite a shocker. The pam presentation though is really lovely. If you're giving a rep as a gift, a nice presentation box like this makes the gift giving experience.

Yes mate, rep with presentation box would make an excellent gift, as for the shipping costs, well considering most of us pay anything from $30-$35 to ship a rep via Ems which weighs next to nothing compared to a rep box, the cost isn't really that expensive.

Good point Sharrkey. I just placed an Order for 4 boxes (one of which is for a Rolex). I am waiting to hear what the damage will be. Have you bought any watches from Robbie? His rep among the boards seems pretty good... no complaints. He's been referred to as a straight shooter and delivers on his promises. I am actually surprised Robbie is not not a TD on any of the boards. Does he need to apply to become a TD?

Yes he gets great feedback, yes if you want to become a dealer you have to apply, but there will be min requirements to become one, maybe he doesnt want to become one on here.
I've never bought from him before, and delighted with the service received:maty:

Need to discuss about the accuracy of the box!

The plaque is wrong (good for old models), the screwdriver is wrong too. You can replace it with the screwdriver sold on ebay by wholesaleotlet

Lol, I was so hoping the screwdriver would be the right one but kinda new before it arrived that it wouldn't :frusty:

It may not be the most accurate box, but honestly... it's more than good enough for $42. It isn't the right screwdrive, but, to be honest, the gen Pam screw driver kind of sucks anyway. I wouldn't go nuts to replace it unless you MUST have a driver that says Panerai on it.

All you need to do now is get the two watch insert for the box from River so you can fit another one in there

Few more pics, slight break in the usual pissing rain in Scotland :stb:

For the money I think it's great, is it accurate, NO, but who cares its a $45 rep box. :maty:

 

[ALE7575]

Really impressive

So what makes this box incorrect? Just the plaque and screw driver?
The plaque is from 2008 and before?

The wood and some other details are different ...
