Justin..welcome here on the Dark Side...
you referring to the 24A..well..A means its from 1998..first year of Panerai under Richmont/vendome...
it should have tritium for markers and they should have some patina..
and i think polished bezels...
check here...

Do you like tritium dials? I'd relate these pieces with a more "vintage" feel as a whole.

Also doesn't have 15 min tick marks on bezel. Very collectible if you can find them.

Uhoh! Does this mean we've lost another one to the Dark Side?

And to the deep end of the pool at that!

The a-c series also have polished bezels as opposed to matte.

$4000-$4500. Great watch and there are plenty on the resale market. Be careful though, onec you start wearing PAMs, your Rolexes will look small to you!
