DEFINITELY rep. It's all over his description.
You are considering a brand new rubber strap manufactured for perfect fitment for fine Panerai timepieces same as the genuine one, no diference in material composite.
Ok, so he's claiming its made from the same
material as the gen.
This is produced to the exacting standards by the manufacturer
Not BY the manufacturer, but to their standards. Sure.
What you see in the listing is exactly what you will receive with the Panerai packing
This makes it pretty clear that you get the REP strap, along with the GEN packaging. What a deal.
He says it ships from the USA, but his grasp of the English language is shaky at best.
:thinking:
EDIT: In this auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Titanium-Pre-V-...ltDomain_0&hash=item3a68cce030#ht_1257wt_1185
He says it's 'aftermarket' and states
This is produced to the exacting standards by the manufacturer or basically from the same manufacture in different words
It's even the same text as the other listing with a few added items. The initial listing is 100% rep and those bidders don't realize what they're buying.
