Hey guys,

How trustworthy and reputable is the Paneristi forum as well as their collector's and dealers' market?

Any thought are appreciated! Have a great weekend.

That website is a great source of information, though it seems to me that there is a general bias toward the historical models.

There are some reputable folks on their for sale forums and some criminals as well. Do your homework on the seller before buying anything.

Like any website, TRF included, do your research on the seller.

wingku · 19 May 2012, 05:18 AM

Thanks for the heads up! I'm a bit surprised that there could be criminals on that site. Perhaps I should stick with my hunting on the TRF with the reputable sellers here!

Remember to buy the seller first.

B. Doggy · 19 May 2012, 09:08 AM

Be careful out there, dude.

rulessapt · 19 May 2012, 04:47 PM

wingku, be careful as everyone has suggested.
Buy the seller, every single time.
There's some fine folk I've dealt with and also the odd flakey one.
I've bought straps on Paneristi and also encountered some prima donnas there too.
You know you can always ask here, or even by PM.

mfer said to me once that over here, we play nicer. It's true.

cheers
richard

Thanks Richard and Everyone!
This is the feeling I got is that generally people play a bit nicer here. I'm surprised they have a dealer section there and they seem to have lots of models in stock even brand new which is kinda odd?!

Has anyone dealt with Jomashop website? They apparently sell Pams too. Not the greatest deals but just wonder how legit are they.

kilyung · 20 May 2012, 12:49 AM

Spend some time there before jumping into a purchase. You'll quickly learn who's legit.

I bought my first Rolex (for me) from a trusted seller after a horrible experience with an AD when I bought my wifes Rolex. Buying from TRF trusted seller was a decent deal, not the cheapest one out there but I knew exactly what I would be getting, and it was still way cheaper than I would be getting from my POS local AD, and the service was way better.

I got my PAM from a different but good TRF seller and got BNIB with my name on papers and way cheaper than retail.

I have zero regrets! Just do your homework. There ARE sellers on TRF that have such a great reputation, that I would feel comfortable handing them my hard earned money no questions asked, but not ALL sellers. Good luck!

Thanks for all you fine fellas' advices!

It continues to amaze me that TRF is such a tight knited community. Everyone is so helpful here. I've definitely been doing alot of research here and there are quite a few reputable sellers that everyone here endorsed. When I am ready to pull the trigger. I have a pretty good idea who are to go-to guys!

As others have mentioned...there are scammers EVERYWHERE!!! You keep thinking like that and you'll run into trouble.

I've purchased from numerous sites, Paneristi included, and i ALWAYS ask for references, regardless of who the seller is. Do your homework and you should be ok...

FNFZ4 · 22 May 2012, 05:16 AM

you can post a thread there like here asking for a reference check.
