The Panerai Source Forums

ok so i'm vacationing over here in the se asia area. before the trip i'd check panerai and was excited to find the one lone AD in this country is about 10 minute from where i'm staying in saigon. today i wandered in...not expecting much. well they had 6 total panerais, didn't find any NOS 190s ...the closest was a 287 rad auto, a sub, and a few luminors i can't rattle the numbers off. the panerais were bunch together as part of the bigger group with IWC and JLC. i asked about a 3714 black/black iwc portuguese and the pricetag was $7k+ us so it's no bargain either. they also had an abundant amount of rolexes, chopard etc but i wasn't interested.

the fakes over here are real fakey and poorly made, and can be had for $20-$30, not like the well made online with actual ETA movements etc for $200-$400.
