Officine Panerai

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 and the watches were all just simply stunning....

The endless conversation and camaraderie of the friendly, awesome and fun people who attended is one I will always cherish and remember, met a lot and made a lot of new friends.

and it does not look like the owner is trying to pass it off as anything other than a project, which imo is really cool.

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...

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 th...

Exactly!

Hi Guille, My post wasn't directed at you, but I completely agree with your answer. Thanks. Rare, out of production, desirable. Just like that Alfa I mentioned Created as a product of their enthusiasm, not as some money making scheme. As for the $$$$ fake...
