This is my first post - so I get right into it.
I recently sold my Genuine Panerai 022 Luminor Marina "Destro". Now I am missing the weight on the right arm. Have browsed through many sites and found two potentially interesting items at Kuvarsit's website (hope it is the genuine one: http://www.kuvarsit-watch.com/panera.../?currency=EUR and http://www.kuvarsit-watch.com/panera...-swiss-unitas/).

My questions:
1. I read the comparison review about KW and NOOB. I looked for NOOB sellers but have not managed to find them. Apart from Kuvarsit mentioned above (again, I hope that site is the correct one for them and not the scam site I heard about) I have not found many others who produce the "destro" type (watch on the right arm). Do you have any recommendations?

2. the quality Kuvarsit is claiming to achieve with their watches (the first of the two is actually what they call a "clone") seems to be very nice in the pictures. The 219 seems to be better than the second. But that is just pictures and there is no proof that what I'll get is that exact watch, and no warranty at all (which for a European like me this feels strange).

3. the main question is: am I looking in the right place or is there something out there I am totally missing? Do you have any fabulous recommendations where else to get a good PAM "Destro" replica for less than 500 Dollars/Euros? It must be a "destro" model because as an ambidextrous person I have been wearing my watches on the right hand forever.

Thanks so much for all advice and keep up the fantastic work!

I would check out the TD's section on here. Just about any of them can get the KW watches and the Noob ones.

Definitely 569! One of the best PAMs I have ever owned!

That sounds good - since I am TOTALLY new to this and the forum is rather complex, would you mind directing me towards where to see it and get it from?
Very appreciated!

569 is going to wear a lot bigger than your 022 as it is 47 mm instead of 44 and is quite taller.
It is indeed one of the best reps available atm though :)

Hello and thank you all for the answers to my post. Especially to Shelby1501 for sharing the images. The thing is, I love the classic Panerais like my old one, the ones that were designed in the 1920s and 1930s and have nearly nothing on the quadrant, only essential things. Therefore the Submersible series is not in my focus.
It seems there was an almost perfect rep of my model until some month ago but unfortunately it is not available anymore. Although some trusted sellers offer an interesting PAM056C, it has a matte finish (or it is coated or it is really made of Titanium, which I beg to doubt for a price of 300-350 USD). So nothing yet for me. But I'll keep looking...

The PAM219 would be nice but I've asked TDs a few times and the reply was negative.
