SeanusMaximus 0 Posted July 3, 2011 What is the ultimate Panerai rep, in terms of quality, finishes and accuracy of replication? (Without breaking the bank making a franken!) I really like the basic polished case Luminor Marina's, with black dial and running seconds, preferably it must also have diplay caseback and be an auto. Any suggestions or points in the right direction will be greatly appreciated! Cheers everyone, Sean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlphaLima 17 Posted July 3, 2011 pestered far too much so he cancelled order In what way can you pester far too much? Surely you just ordered the watch, asked him for it to be waterproofed, and that's it. What more could you possibly be asking/telling him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeanusMaximus 0 Posted July 3, 2011 Ceri - Ah I didn't pester you did I? Alpha - I was nervous about the waterproofing outcome I guess, sent a few emails and rightly or wrongly, kept repeating myself in shoutbox if he didn't answer my questions :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was only kidding! Every time I speak to Robert I'm worried I'm 'pestering' him. Never know whether to order with him or not, as I like to know about watches before I order them. QC pics etc would be nice before I pay, or at least get sent the watch. Not sure this is really an option with Robert? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QC pics etc would be nice before I pay, or at least get sent the watch. Not sure this is really an option with Robert? Yeah, I asked for QC pictures (after I had already paid) and got this response: "Not a chance sorry we don't offer the service when we are not busy. You need to contact a Chinese dealer if you want all the bells and whistles" . Of course, he is running his auction stuff this week and last. Frankly, I don't care how he responds if the product is good. Some people don't have customer service skills. Or choose not to use them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2point 21 Posted July 3, 2011 So who is good for QC pics, aside from Mary? I've got an order in with Silix, Michelle has been dealing with it. Had my first set of QC pics, all looked good except one of the second hands was the wrong one. Requested it was changed, got updated QC pics a couple of days later. Communication has been very good, I'm going to be on holiday for 3 weeks now so requested the shipment was held back for a couple of weeks. Alk understood and confirmation this request will be met. So far it's all good news from Silix/Michelle. Hopefully the goodies will live up to the process so far.
