Dear all,

Just bought this PAM a few days ago, and needed a confirmation from all the experts here - I am positive it's the real deal, however, I might be wrong since I'm not anywhere near expert.. :)

Any comments would be appreciated. :)

Thanks.

RedBaronF2001 · 14 January 2010, 01:17 PM

Did you buy it from an AD? Grey market? From an individual.

From a distance it looks okay. Can you show us some close-ups though?

CorruptedSanity · 14 January 2010, 01:31 PM

Looks like mine from a distance.

Any close ups?

Shade · 14 January 2010, 01:39 PM

Redbaron: I bought it from an individual, very very lightly used. And as you can see, both original straps that came with it was never touched.

The strap in the above picture was Ted Su straps I believe, swiss ammo?

Here are the close ups:

Thanks! :)

mrh1797 · 14 January 2010, 03:42 PM

What would give you the indication it was not authentic??? Looks legit to me....

m_reign · 14 January 2010, 03:47 PM

It's the real thing, congratulations and wear it in good health

Shade · 14 January 2010, 04:07 PM

The indication? Well it was very well preserved, and I got it for quite a price. Sometimes things are too good to be true, so I wanted to double-check and make sure I didn't get bummed. :)

Turns out sometimes too good can be true... hehehe..

sushisummo · 14 January 2010, 04:12 PM

If you want to be sure, pay a little and go to an AD to make sure. So you can sleep at night and not think about it.

CorruptedSanity · 14 January 2010, 04:16 PM

Always remmeber, if its too good to be true, then its probably not true. Perhaps in your case the probability of it not being true was extremely low?

Shade · 14 January 2010, 04:44 PM

Planning on going to check it to an AD by today.. :)

Psmith · 14 January 2010, 06:42 PM

Booklets/papers/warranty card? Matching serial numbers?

Cheers

Shade · 14 January 2010, 06:49 PM

Psmith - yes everything is there.. :)

Cool... in that case a visit to the AD (&/or Panerai Service Centre) should seal it

Cheers

dotcomakazee · 14 January 2010, 08:07 PM

Looks real to me, but like everyone said, go to a dealer for verification.

tech_controller · 14 January 2010, 08:27 PM

Looks real from here...congrats on a nice 312.

Don't think the fako factory's can do that movement....(yet)...lol.

Wear it in good health!

Shade · 14 January 2010, 11:11 PM

Thanks everyone, went to the AD and was authenticated. I'm lovin' it!

CAme in late on this one so congratulations and welcome to the 312 club. The ammo strap looks great

csweeney · 17 January 2010, 05:03 AM

haven't seen the repicated pams do that movement yet - you should be good-

gmtobsessed · 17 January 2010, 09:12 AM

Looks good to me, congrats!

Keith48 · 18 January 2010, 04:09 PM

Not sure if this work to check if the 312 (or any 3 days model).

Fully wind up the watch and let it wind down
Check if it can last 3 days. If yes, the watch is genuine.

Not sure if there is any copied movement that can last 3 days.

steengeo · 20 January 2010, 09:06 PM

Congrats on a fine watch. I have the 312 and just love it :-)

HL65 · 20 January 2010, 09:54 PM
