I've only seen one other one in the wild, about a month ago. I'd guess it was a 112, but can't be sure.

dddrees · 7 August 2011, 01:25 PM

I've seen a couple, it just kind of depends where your hanging out. But you'll see them in Vegas and New York quite a bit.

B. Doggy · 8 August 2011, 02:25 AM

Never seen one in the wild. I live in a very non-watch area though.

ocwatching · 8 August 2011, 03:22 PM

South Coast Plaza in OC where there is Omega and Rolex Boutique..but I see more Luminors and Chronos than anywhere else...

Nugs · 8 August 2011, 07:07 PM

I've only seen a few in the wild. One of our IT guys has a black radiomir, looks very cool.

rolexsweep · 8 August 2011, 10:59 PM

I've seen one, and that was all i needed to see...

TopNotchChach · 9 August 2011, 01:27 AM

I wanna see it !!!

mfer · 9 August 2011, 01:52 AM

Outside of meeting some WIS's for lunch, I have seen more fake Panerai than real ones in my town.

So far, 4 fake luminors, 1 genuine 88.

When I was in Vegas, they were everywhere (both fake and real)

I hear Ya Mik.The first one I witnessed in the wild is my one of my Wifes Surgeons.His almost reminds me of some sort of GMT on a Black Leather Quick release Strap.It's Beautiful.This Latest One I Saw Coud very well be a Knockoff.All I know is that it Looked Nice.Take care PAM Lovers,they are pretty Sweet.

I want to see it two!

grossmont · 9 March 2012, 06:12 AM

I notice a lot of celeberties and sports stars wearing them during interviews. Lebron James and D Wade are always wearing different AP's during their interviews. I had a PAM 312 for a year and got bored with it. They are nice watches but have no interest in picking up another one.

toulouse · 9 March 2012, 07:07 AM

AP is real hot within the rap and nba community. Used to be rolex, now it's AP. Ice T had a Roo on I believe. (Don't ask me, my wife had on Ice loves Coco) lol

GFEAR · 9 March 2012, 07:20 AM

WOW. Thats so unconceivable to me, i see 3 or 4 a day MINIMUM, and if i dont see a rolex on every 5th person, im shocked, amazing the differences in parts of the country.

Milgauss J · 9 March 2012, 07:56 AM

I see them quite a bit as well. Not as much as Rolex. I go to a restaurant in San Gabriel Valley and almost every waiter there wears a Rolex.

Of course, I can't comment on real or fake because I am not exactly schooled in that area.

I went to a Buick event in Beverly Hills and I spotted 3.

Only one I have seen is the one on my wrist....

psv · 9 March 2012, 08:15 AM

popularity is descreasing a bit on Panerai but i've seen plenty in the wild, I only have seen two DSSDs in the wild though! :-)

AP? All the rave among brats and celebs in NYC, Miami, LA + various European and Asian hot spots.

LNX · 9 March 2012, 08:57 AM

What's the easiest way to spot a fake from a real Panerai at first glance? I know you'd be able to tell if you held one and inspected the back, etc., but are there any tell tale signs it's a replica?

I've checked out some of the replica sites and they do look pretty authentic from the pics

toulouse · 9 March 2012, 09:05 AM

Pretty rare bird up here. Mostly I see rolexes. Everyone and their mother has a submariner. I like not seeing everyone with a Pam.
