Fair enough.

In fairness they weren't particularly good fakes, especially considering the price would get you a decent genuine watch. I'd have a look at Parnis watches on eBay. Parnis do a large range of homage watches (Same style, but no 'Panerai' markings) for around £50-60. The majority are automatic too! Lots of reputable sellers as well

Which Panerai were you after again? I'll see if Parnis do one ...

Ok, not particularly worried about the brand markings but really like the style of the Luminor Marina or GMT. I guess it's trademarked but the crown guard is one of the features I particularly like. Also would like an automatic rather than quartz.

Thanks for looking.

Found them all on eBay. Wish I'd thought of that in the first place - Parnis looks perfect, same looks but not a 'counterfeit'.

Most Parnis watches will be shipped from Hong Kong, but don't let that put you off ... Lots of members on here have bought Parnis watches through eBay; Check out the £50 watch thread for pics/info!

Alternatively, there are some sites that sell 'Marina Militare' watches, which are Panerai homages, but closer still! Some might say a little too close. No 'Parnis' markings on these.
