Hello from South East Asia :)

Dude.....so not true.

99.9% of all the reps originate from Asia (China, Thailand, Korea etc.). I have been buying reps for years now and all the reps that are available to our friends in US/Europe/Oz etc. are available here in Asia as well. I do not know of any major dealer who does not ship to SEA (other than some UK/CONUS based dealers....where it wouldn't make sense to buy from them).

btw...which 3rd world country are you in?

Cheers

philippines, to be exact, haha

replica watches are sold here in either of two big commercial centers. sellers set up shop with display cases as big as household refrigerators - although the finer reps generally get smaller cases mounted next to where the seller sits (for security?).

quality varies. been browsing the panerai and tag forums for awhile, looking at comparisons.

i've been to HK once, and while they got rep shops there too, they have this extra service where you give them a pic of a gen you like, and they'll copy it - or you can pick one out of a very nice catalog.

well, thanks for the welcome...
