What's wrong with the dial? I got this from my relatives as a reward for studying abroad and i didn't check it properly until now.

I didnt know the value of the watch when he 1st gave me the GMT.. Until a watchmaker told me at Brisbane for this brand of value and i only know and they didn't even spot for the difference so i not sure it's genuine or not. Now Partyn33 your message seems a bit inappropriate in a sense of manner. I am not sure how he get the watch and i didn't ask but i will be in Msia next year so i will be checking it with him where he bought it.
If i'm not wrong, i heard and saw there was a shop at Sg wang selling these branded triple A grade watches. And for no reason i just hop it in, seems loads of aged and successful businessman(from my perception la) and they bought numbers of it regardless of brand

ya, at least i know now. I have one Marina at msia. Might wanna check it whether is real or fakes due to this kind of case. Good to hear a Panerai lover here and this is my favorite brand as well and just starting to learn the watch before Casio Protek and Shock

QUOTE(ck77 @ Feb 10 2010, 03:19 PM) Absolutely correct. Sapphire will break into tiny fragments when hit, that will endanger the astronauts in spaceship. Whereas hesalite or acrylic will only crack. Normal toothpaste can use to polish the tiny scratches on hesalite/acrylic. Yes, that's true  Mind tell me the procedure of using toothpaste to clean it?? Or just squeeze the paste and use a cloth to wipe it ? My Speedmaster has gone thru sometimes with me so there's loads of scratches

QUOTE(Jr.Koh @ Feb 11 2010, 12:09 AM) Don't think they can tax you unless you're bringing it with box and if it's brand new  Just declare them as your own use. That's all that you'll need to do heh. Hey thanks for the valuable information
