Well one thing I will say..having purchased a beautiful rainbow flyback from Italy in the summer...communication was poor once the transaction was put thru...and then once I received the watch though it looked beautiful it was in need of a total service (north of $750US) and this after being assured it came from the Zenith Service Center in Italy. Long story short, I am still awaiting it from my repair service person....it is lovely but I will never purchase another watch from Italy. Had a problem years ago with a Blancpain Aqualung....Blancpain would not honor the warranty as the Italian dealer was taken of the AD list......buy at your own risk
