if its a fake it looks like a good fake,
I was wondering about that as the face is different, the smaller dial is different aswell.
if its a replica, where did you get it from? is it a good replica?

The only difference is a small diff in font sizing which at actual size is near impossible to tell unless you are comparing against another and hand length.

Email in trust for any info. As to whether it is any good, thats up to you to decide.

I assume by this it is a reproduction? if so how did you know?

movement is totally wrong ( incorrect typeface , no swan neck regulator ) , from front the crown is too thin

Heh.

It'll set you back the best part of a couple of grand or more.

Looks like a Panerai Luminor 005 to me.

Panerai 127, £5k minimum

At first glance (and not knowing too much myself) seems the minute and hour hands are a little thick and not quite long enough. no swan neck regulator as rotty said, the arm on the second dial is again slightly short and a little fat, and the crown definately doesnt look to be as thick/domed.
I've only ever seen a single genuine Panerai 127 and twas loverly

, though imo the fake is very nice too, bit too big for my wrist I think but still a sexy watch.

Wheever i show off my fakes (have a couple of tags,panerai and rolex's now) i dont even pretend they are real, people are always amazed at how good they are, to the naked eye they are as good as the real thing!

They actually work aswell nowadays

You mean apart from the fact that nealw said it was?

Yes I know Rotty would have known anyway before anyone says it!

Isn't it true that a cheap digital or quartz watch actually keeps better time than the watches costing several grand...

I ended up not getting a seamaster (parents didn't agree with cost), but I got one of these:

I like it

(I did pick it).

For some odd reason I like seikos more than any other brand (under the omega cost).

Yep, but they look like **** and don't have the craftmanship and status that proper watches do. Unfortunately being a poor student I have a next watch

It appears we both missed that post

But you have a keen eye there Rotty.

That's a very nice looking watch! Which Seiko is it?

No I didn't - nealw said he knew his watch was a fake early on the first page, before Rotty posted that.

Hi there,

It's the Seiko Sportura SNL015P1.

PureAppleJuice · 15 Oct 2006 at 12:36

What do you guys think of the Seiko Chronographs? I'm thinking of getting one at some point

I meant me and Rotty

I think Seiko make top watches to be honest. That's the main reason I went for one, because I've always thought that they where good.
