Im so happy. I got a Panerai GMT 088 from an auth dlr. Ive been eyeing this watch for the last couple years.

This kinda freaks me out a lil but Ive read about this... I got that like white speck on the cyclops and read its normal, but is there a way to get rid of it? And what is it actually? I think its a reflection of the light of some sort as when Im in an area with the long fluoresent light tubes, the speck is a line, and when Im in an area where lights are circular, the speck is a circle.

Any insight folks?

Thanks all for your help. So happy to join the group!

Congrats on the 88.

It was my first Pam and has logged quite a few miles.

I think what you're seeing is a reflection. I notice it on my Pams with a cyclops.

Good choice! Enjoy!

The white spot is indeed a reflection, same here.

88's are great.. Congratulations. As Mike noted the white speck is a reflection in cyclops.

Congrats!

Don`t worry about what you see on the cyclops, it is a reflection, same on my 024...

That what i thought when i first got my Pam 88.
It is normal just a reflection, no worries.

It's the light refelction. I thought the same thing when I bought my first Panerai.
