I am thinking of buying a new watch for my graduation and am gravitating towards Panerai. I like the base models but I there are a lot of fakes floating around and I could use some guidance.
There is no substitute for buying from an authorized dealer. EVER! Pay the upcharge and know that you have a real one.
Rolex estimates that 75% of the Rolex's in the world are fakes. Why take a chance?
Interesting statistic. I wonder what percentage of these Rolex fakes are trivial to detect and meant only to fool the general public, versus the very detailed replicas which are intended to fool the shopper of a used but legitimate Rolex.
