JohnG 41 Posted January 11, 2009 How did he get away with this all that time? Or were these "sterile" dial watches? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted January 12, 2009 That's why you don't want to sell reps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted January 12, 2009 That's why you don't want to sell reps. Well if he was really selling reps openly on eBay (something I find hard to swallow - I suspect these were unbranded watches), then he was just plain stupid. Given that eBay doesn't permit rep sales and will shut down sales of reps the moment they are reported, I don't believe that this guy was selling "Panerai" branded watches...

trailboss99 997 Posted January 12, 2009 I gather they were unbranded but the CGs on a Pam are copyrighted. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdavis III 0 Posted January 12, 2009 These watches were clearly Panerai reps by design. The dials were labeled "Luminor Militare" and omitted the Panerai name. I do not recall if the case backs were devoid of the Panerai name or not. He had sold these things on Ebay for a good while before Panerai stepped in.

JohnG 41 Posted January 12, 2009 Well then they are just being dicks... There are lots of unbranded Rolexes sold there and "Alpha" brand Rolexes... these fuckers are getting more aggresive now that their sales are going down. I think it is time to hit back, and hit back HARD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted January 12, 2009 Remember what happened to that "The Watch Prince" guy. I can't even remember his name now. He was a U.S.-based dealer who got caught. That, and his drug problems and infidelity, tanked his life. All that risk for $50-70 a watch profit? I like the view from this side of the bars better.

It's a dog eat dog world my friend. It takes real smarts to go the long haul in a life of crime. They would never catch ME. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnG 41 Posted January 19, 2009 I searched "6497" in watches/jewellery on the Bay and found a bunch of unbranded Pams for sale - seems they are all radiomir types - the ones without the crown guard - except there ARE caseS for sale - with the crown guard... http://jewelry.shop.ebay.com/items/Jewelry...d=p3286.c0.m282 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
