Buying luxury watches like Panerai from Taobao can be daunting due to language barriers, shipping restrictions, and seller authenticity concerns. Thankfully, Superbuy, a reliable Chinese forwarding and shopping agent, simplifies the process. This guide walks you through purchasing a Panerai watch using Superbuy while leveraging FindsCheap’s curated spreadsheet
Step 1: Research Your Panerai Model
Before diving into Taobao:
- Verify the watch model (e.g., Luminor, Submersible) and reference number.
- Compare prices against retail to spot red flags (too-good-to-be-true deals may indicate replicas).
- Use FindsCheap’s spreadsheet
Pro Tip:
Step 2: Create a Superbuy Account
Superbuy acts as a proxy buyer and forwarder:
- Sign up via their website
- Top up your wallet using PayPal, credit card, or Wise for seamless transactions.
- Install their browser extension to auto-capture Taobao product pages.
Step 3: Submit Your Order
From FindsCheap’s spreadsheet, copy the Taobao product URL and paste it into Superbuy’s search bar. Follow these steps:
- Select specifications
- Request quality checks:
- Note special requests
Upon confirmation, Superbuy purchases the item and stores it in their warehouse.
Step 4: Choose Shipping & Customs Strategy
Panerai watches are high-value items requiring careful shipping:

Slower (10–20 days) |
Superbuy offers invoice customization to declare lower values (e.g., "$150 for repairs")—consult their live chat for region-specific advice. For U.S. buyers, stays under $800 to avoid duties.
Step 5: Receive & Authenticate
Once delivered:
- Film an unboxing video for dispute evidence.
- Verify serial numbers and engravings against Panerai’s database.
- Visit a local AD (Authorized Dealer) for authentication if uncertain.
