I will be ordering this one shortly with a Titanium case. I love the lightness of the material. Amazing.

Yes depending on the different options you choose. Could be a little more though if you want something more specific.

Woah woah guys...

Homage = in this case is just a copy of an original in honor or appreciation of

An actual Luminor Marina or Radiomir from Panerai is very expensive.

SisWatch727 is a brand called Getat. They make watches that look like Panerai (among others) but are significantly less expensive. Its not a bootleg because they dont claim to be a Panerai. There's no way a getat will every reach the $5k+ mark.

I will be ordering one (probably a power reserve in a brushed case), but dont expect it to be NEARLY as high quality as an actual Panerai. Its 1/50th (?) the price. But they are a great value for an excellent looking watch that you get to customize. :D

For all of you looking for deals. Check out some of the Russian made watches. Many of the now have ETA movements and are priced really well. Actually, I think ETA owns several of Russians brands (since the last few years).

Daniel Jean Richard is a great value brand. It's Gerrard Peregaux's second watch line.

Mido & Certina are great watch lines that are barely sold in USA, but certainly available. Quite popular in Switzerland and offer excellent value.
