Fake PANERAI 111 restoration and repair 

Awesome job fake or real watches, ur skills are highly respected thank you for sharing.

This is a really good replica/fake. Worth fixing . I just brought a $11 "Panerai Marina" from Temu online, likely powered by a $2 quartz movement. Have not received it yet. I like the look of it, but will not spend $4000 for it.

Cannot help it but if not for stating it's a fake, really looks genuine. Specially if your not familiar with the brand or no reference.

Your tweezer work is exceptional sir. Outstanding. A pleasure to watch

Watch is maybe a fake but movement is a good one from Sea-Gull company (ST3600). It would be better to install a crown gasket to avoid same thing happen again.

Movement is genuine... Saw last week latest copies of panerai

Best place to service clones? Yourself? And approximate expected costs associated? You rock thanks for the awesome content!

Wow , even replica and really amazing,. Also, you have a steady hands there so exceptional.

A replica like this might not be able to cope with the demands of the lethal frogmen of Italy´s navy, albeit, it looks very much like the real thing above water! My dad has a 1950´s Cortébert Automatic watch. It said in the back cover waterproof. When I was a kid in the early 1970´s I made experiments, like the ones depicted in the glossy inserts in Reader´s Digest Selections for the Omega Constellations. One of these experiments was to put the dad´s watch inside his aquarium. It survived and I did too! However, the watch came into disrepair and I recently had it cleaned and the gaskets replaced, it needed the main spring replaced also and I was able to source it too. it still runs fast 5 minutes per day. However, while washing my hands the crown got wet and there was some mist inside the newly replaced cristal. I felt very bad! I made the huge mistake of leaving it in the rear window of my car. Whilst having lunch, with the crown open to let go of the mist I came back to my car (the windows were intact) only to find that the cristal became cracked where it meets the watch case and the tension ring...I guess I am still making experiments to my dad´s watch! I´m 57 years of age now but I´ve got to pay for the consequences of my watch. Perhaps this replica has the same issues with the crown gasket as dad´s Cortébert watch!

For a fake, someone went to a lot of detail in creating this movement.

Beautiful glass back... movrment is more beautiful tban lot of genuine

I would love to have one of those

Love watching these videos. How do I contact you for service and where are you located? Regards.

Hi, i really need found the gasket from the crown can you Help me For buy in some place?

Great video - thank you so much. It is really surprising when a fake looks better than the original, because Panerai have gone down in quality so much ...

To concrete my question: when I am looking for parts (stem etc) my orientation are the ETA spare part list ?

Even perfect fake are not all 100% waterproof...... for avoid corrosion avoid too swim with it !! And lubriant movment all 5 years

Where do you get the case back openers, and new parts

You really should service a watch with a dg2813 or the GMT variant dg3804B since they are so common in replica watches, I would love to see you working on those

I own the original 111.But one day, the crown guard suddenly loosened.Why is that? What would be the solution?

Is it true? VSF is finito????

Looks like someone took a swim in their replica lol

So does this watch only woiork if you wind it as there is no rotor wheel?

Great vid and awesome info. Thx! One thing not clear to me: is it an "real" ETA6497-2 or an (perfectly) Asian replicated one? Regards, Marc

Are you stateside? Do you accept mail in repairs?

Where do you get fake replacement parts?

Right now, Panerai is the easiest brand to fake. They use very basic movements that can be easily acquired and adapted by criminals. Their entry-level watches do not have the sapphire caseback anymore. The decorated movements were a way to make the fakers’ jobs more difficult. In order to get a Panerai of superior quality, one has to spend at least 11 thousand dollars.

Assalamualaikum kak tempat servisnya dmn? Kalau ada nmr tlpn kak

He is sleeep

Hi where are you from?

Why waste all this time and effort on a fake?

The crown is inaccurate and finishing isdifferent

Nice job, but it's a fake. 😢

u should not repair or restore a fake watch . first it's not a good thing to do , secondo it's agaist the law

What are the main visible differences between the fake and genuine 111?

Call it a fake all day long. There are good Homage watches then there are better Homage watches. Good Homage watches can be found. Personally I wear bund straps on all my watches. And don't take a shower wearing my watches.
