Don't know enough about cars to give you a good opinion
The Rolex Panerai watches were never offered for the civilian market, are a long time out of production and are available in extremely low quantities at very high prices. It is not surprising at all that lovers of the Rolex Panerai era try to replicate these and in many cases prefer them to the modern day Richemont replicas.
The people who do this for their own pleasure should not be vilified. Though I see where collectors may be concerned specially with so many "vintage" pieces that seem to be assembled from parts.
With all due respect I just don't buy into the story/myth of the buyer who puts down six figures for a homage watch. I'd worry about that as much as i worry about getting anthrax in my mail.
San Diego , Ca. GTG....Modem warning..
First off Thanks to Adrian and the SD crew for organizing such a great event. We occupied the top floor of Stone Brewery, the place is huge. We walk up the stairs to the 2nd floor and this greeted us. The place was packed, there were about 50-60 attendees...
Thanks for sharing the event!
Indeed a great time must have been had by all who attended including you yourself! I love the vintage 3646 the most! Cheers Stephen

As Fake as your intentions to point out something that already is noted in the post
so what!!!!!!!!!!! Not my watch but it was one of several, as seen at every GTG.....come on out bring the cops along ;-) Peace
A project watch has not a Rolex stamp
When a project watch has a Rolex stamp in the case back, than it is for me a fake watch. 4 months a go I had a man in the shop who bought a watch like this as a real 3646, he paid a lot of money for it. A lot of people do not see it any more the differenc...
As I said, not my watch
it has the Rolex markings and clearly the VDB markings from the maker. All I hear all the time is the story of someone who paid a lot of money for a fake watch, but nobody here is selling them. Always in defense of others, very very altruistic and honorab...
What is your stance on say, replica cars?
I understand your position when the intent is to deceive. But unscrupulous people should not be lumped together with people who lack that intent. Locally, there is, by way of example, an absolutely magnificent Alfa MM replica. Is this a fake or a loving r...

Exactly!
