cj...unless you see something I don't, it is not a replica, it is an homage.  I see nothing on it that states Panerai...yes, it is an "homage" as are many watches...like the ZENO Explorer, the Seiko "Day/Date", etc.  So, I don't see anything not ethical about it unless one also eschews homages...but then, how many watches other than ORSA,  ENZO (and a very few others) do you see out here that don't "borrow" designs from other watches (I give you Ocean7!!!;))

Also...I'm with Oscar here.  If we buy direct from IWI we don't incur paypal fees or have to deal with a middle man on a problem...perhaps there is some point I'm missing!:?
