why dont u guys just shut off your *** mouths..

im not a watch geek... and i just asked a simple question.... i wouldn't post it here if i found enuf answers on the net..
so i just need clear answers and i don't care to those who just pretend to know everything about it but cannot post a single fact that might help me....
i manage a sportshop.. if my clients are askin a shirt.. or showing me a photo.. of whatever jersey.. no matter how it was blurry i can tell what is it or even of what year it was used. that's what you call being an expert... i hope you guys get it.. if you claim you're just too expert for my question... just shut off of you're ** mouths and that will even help this thread not to go longer for nonsense.. @ASFG i respond to one of the comments of aptronym and i posted clearer photos there.. hope you can take a look at it, wud really appreciate it.... thanks!

help! is my panerai, a fake one?

By: blackholedweller : August 23rd, 2008-14:34

i recently got this awesome automatic PANERAI luminor marina watch.. but after seeing almost-perfect replicas on the net, i doubt if mine is authentic.... i search hours and hours on the net looking at over a hundred REAL and FAKE panerai models but it se...

You're kidding, right? As fake as a 3 dollar bill.

Not certain But it does not

look like the real deal and buying over the net i dont think is a good idea unless you have certain knowledge of the seller or dealer anything else is certain to be fake . Best

That's about a fake as it gets [nt]

how could one even think that was remotely authentic?

maybe you can trade him for one of yours

even some 6 year olds could point that out, panerai never made an open faced watch panerai only makes a back display tourbillon panerai doesnt do moon phase panerai doesnt do an open dial!!!! panerai doesnt have that seconds hand panerai doesnt have that ...

i was about to say thank you.. but nevermind..

is it really for the blue screws??

By: blackholedweller : August 24th, 2008-12:45

i never had a panerai b4... i didn't buy it from the net, it was actually a gift to me by a friend who doesn't seem to know the brand.. its just for the screws that i doubt its authenticity.. like i said i never had the chance to upload clear photos but i...

Your watch is clearly a fake

By: AnthonyTsai : August 24th, 2008-12:57

and any Panerai collector will tell you that right off the bat. Sorry to tell u but your watch is counterfeit and obviously far from being authentic. It is a total obvious fake and a poor replica. Sorry to tell you the bad news. - Anthony

Hmm....

By: aptronym : August 24th, 2008-22:01

Maybe you need to ask some questions not involving blued screws? You're kind of fixated on the screws.... Perhaps you might consider changing "friends". I'd also advise you to get a tripod, it does wonders for reducing fuzziness in photos.

thanks in advance..

I never know how to react to posts like these...

By: Gaz : August 24th, 2008-19:57

Firstly, I would love to have friends who would openly and happily buy me a very expensive watch! I guess I am not that popular. Secondly, there are good quality fakes and bad quality fakes. I guess your friend was too cheap to get you a good quality fake...

Please be helpful!

By: AFSG : August 24th, 2008-20:28

Gaz, I think you are being a tad too cynical here - it's really not on... The question about the blue screws is a good one - you and I know well that Panerai is soon to introduce, via their new Filigree Activated Kernel Extrusion process, a new color and ...

Tx for the info. I enjoyed it! :-)

You know what, I am humbled by your high road stance...

By: Gaz : August 24th, 2008-22:03

I feel rather ashamed that I belittled someone who is just thirsty for knowledge. After all, I was a newbie once and everyone here was so helpful when I asked whether or not the Penerai boutique I visited in Shenzhen was a genuine boutique. Thanks AFSG. I...
