Watchlords

Panerai homages such as Marina Militaire have been banned from forums for years as far as I can recall. With the influx of watches such as HR, San Martin, Dievas(?) have these type of watches and brands come out of the closet?

I thought they were banned if they said Marina Millitaire. Panerai has ownership of the name.
I’ve been looking at a SanMartin Radiomir that has a sterile dial and is 40mm. I won’t order if DHL is delivering though (they are on my $hit list). I would like to switch the dial when I get it.



I would like to mod it to a sterile dial like this.



It’s a 40mm, I can’t wear a big Panerai, so a small homage has been an option. Most homages aren’t even small. I wouldn’t get something that said Panerai or anything they trade marked, hence a sterile dial.

point taken. They appear to still sell the marina militaire versions at ebay and other sites.

Good question Koi. When I took a break a few years ago it seemed most people frowned upon rebranded fakes. Now there are so many brands doing them and they seem to have obtained an air of legitimacy.

That was my recollection also. Wasn't there a guy in Florida that got sued over this?


Steeldive, Heimdall and the others seem to be everywhere.
