This is one of the better quality Asian replicas on the market. This fake Omega Speedmaster Calendar actually has a functional perpetual calendar and functional sub-dials. While the replica Speedmaster is not 100% accurate it is amazingly close for the price point. It has the usual build and material quality issues that most Asian replicas have.

Thank our friend TTK for the awesome pictures of this piece.

The Panerai PAM-172 is a limited edition watch made from an uncommon metal called "Tantalium". This metal is hard to work with but has a unique appearance; it's sort of titanium looking in my opinion. It's limited production numbers means it's a hot watch, with Panerai only making 500 examples.

Fake examples of the Panerai PAM-172 Tantalum are available with decent quality. It's basically a derivation of the standard Panerai PAM-111 watch, but made with a different metal. It also has blued-steel hands and an inset seconds area on the dial.

Common flaws on fake Panerai PAM-111s are evident on this watch: thin crown, poor crown guard, inset cannon pinion (see Ziggy's article). All in all the examples we've seen are average quality Panerai replicas; easy to spot for people who know what to look for.
