Wanted to get the above. RXW is out, overprice! Which is the next better homage? Thinking of getting from Naples Watch. Any other recommendations?

Marina Militare

Can someone share more info on this watch brand "Marina Militare" Saw it in the private dealer section. Look quite nice.. (panerai look alike). Price very reasonable for a automatic watch

Why not call and ask the dealers themselves? It is acclaimed to be homage to pam.

MM is sometime called a "homage watch" in the sense that it pays tribute to a well known brand, namely Panerai, copying the major features but not adopting the name Panerai. But it not entirely entirely free of copyright infringement because certain Panerai designs namely the crown guard is subject to copyright. These homages are relatively cheap if the movement is Asian, but will cost more if a swiss movement is used. There are other homages, namely Navale Militare (see advert in this forum), which cost relatively more.

Thanks for all the info. It seems like the watch is very popular as it often sold out when the shipment arrives.

QUite some threads discussed abt this topic liao. You may do a search to find out more info.

[swordfish24]

Thanks. Managed to get additional info for the watch thru the seller.

is it their so called swiss unitas 6497 really made in swiss or made in china?

[tt32003]

What I like to know is are all the MM the same ie same source ?
Different sellers selling for different price.
And where are they from ?
Some sellers say Taiwan, some HK, some China.
In pictures they all look the same.

Diff sellers will give you diff versions. It doesn't matter actually. The more important issue is what aftersale services can these sellers provide you. Trust me; you'll need this.

Here it comes again...

I think there was a lengthy discussion somewhere in some threads and i also believe that Panerai may have also started some legal proceedings. In any case, just want to share my experience about a MM watch. I bought one a less than half a year ago as I wanted to try to see if I could stand the size and chunkiness of PAMs. So i bought one from the forum and it started off well enough. Took it travelling and barely a month, the deployment clasp broke. No problem, replaced with a regular buckle. Another month of trying, one of the screws on the crown protector came off. After that, I chucked it aside and bought the real deal. Hence, my advice to those thinking of buying it - you get what you pay for. The quality is not good and i suppose it is good for trashing around but then again, it easily gets trashed.

Thank you all in advance.
