Best Panerai Homage? (Part 2)

[nfung]

Nice watches guys!

Just wondering, would you get brushed metal or titanium? Are the benefits of titanium that it's lighter and more 'dent-proof'? I'm just guessing...

Thanks!

Titanium is lighter but it will scratch more easily. Also usually a slightly darker color.

Thanks that helps, appreciate it.

Does anyone have a Getat with a 'Seal Brown' strap?
Is it a lot darker than TNT13's brown strap below? (Any pics?)

Hey Gang! Someone on my review just said that it's been really tough getting info regarding size of watch, wrist size of individual and a picture of a wrist shot. I think it would help if you could post some up and include your wrist size and the size of the watch I'll start... I think that this would be a great idea especially for noobs who don't know what they are getting into. These watches are pretty large and if your not prepared it might shock you! Plus if you are in the border of a 47 or 44 this might be a deciding factor.

john I still love the way that Mini fiddy came out, to bad they dont carry that size anymore.

Getat never had the 44mm (mini) Fiddy. The case is from Jackson (who still has it, I just got two more), the guts from Getat, the strap is Heroic18.

I'm just about to pull the trigger on a watch from one of the top 3 homage makers, Tat, Jackson or Manbususije. I'm wondering if someone can answer a couple of questions. Is it worthwhile to go for the sapphire option or is the standard anti scratch mineral of decent quality. Who has the best straps? I really like the thick brown leather. I've decided not to use Helen because of reports the straps were not decent. Thanks again for the info. i can't wait!!!

So far I ordered 4 watches with tat and even though the straps are great quality, they barely fit my 8 inch wrists. So I ended up buying new straps. As for the sapphire, I used that option on my 44mm but tat didn't have dome sapphire for 47mm. But if I had the option, I would just because I know the watch will get banged up in my line of work.

As for jackson, I have 2 coming from him, and heard the straps are crap, and the watches I order don't have sapphire because he didn't offer it. But his prices are really cheap compared to tat.

So to sum it go with tat for customs and great straps, and go to jackson for an inexpensive (can't tell the quality yet but there are many fans here) watch that would need new straps.

And whats the general consensus in regards to the MM brand on the dial? yes or no ?
