Red Flag 1: no box or papers. Hope the price reflects that.
Red Flag 2: likely you're not dealing w a trusted or reputable seller with references?

Buy the seller... Not sure why people choose to try authenticating a $5,000+ watch that is heavily counterfeited based on four pics to a forum of people you don't know.

Again, buy the seller and you need not worry. Lots of bad light and shadows in those pics that are taken from weird angles. Watch looks dirty too

Edit: lug holes don't look right. Shouldn't one side have slots for screw driver? Perhaps they changed to quick change at some point on the 243

Are there "." After the T.M. Or T M on the crown guard? I believe there should be

It's a fake. Pearl is over filled and cg corner at case isn't right.

I believe it has "L" dial which is newer the older "t" dials came with the screws for the lugs. It is t.m.

had a 243. the bezel edge looks off. should be a beveled polished edge on the bezel. I would pass without any accompanying tags or papers. too many pam replicas out there these days.

Cannon Pin on the second hand doesn't look right. Either way, IMO, buying a Pam without a display back or paperwork is scary.
