Pretty Panerai Homage

Here is an original Panerai Luminor Marina:

This is the homage Marina Militare:

And again, in the really cool blue:

The original is about $5100, the homage goes for about $80 to $120 on ebay for the Asian (read, Chinese) made version.  Considering how nice my “Speedmaster” is, I am sure the quality is very nice as well.  What is also nice is that these watches are homages, not fakes.  It’s a fine line, to some, but not to me.  As long as it does not claim to be the real thing, you can look as close as you want to the real thing and not be a fake in my book.  I have tried on the black Panerai in person, and it is an ugly yet cool watch.  Large, but not crazy huge and works on my wrist.  I really like the blue version.

    Hi,
    I tried to find a nice replica of the marina but couldn´t one as nice as the one you show on the picture. Where can I buy it?
    Thanks Tobias

      The ones you see above are off of eBay, however, I think the seller I borrowed the pictures from is no loner on ebay. Panerai is really evil about stopping homage watches.

    These watches are rather nice quality. They once had a version with a finished 6498-clone movement and a swan neck regulator.
