Need help: fake or real

Someone's selling me this beautiful PAM 111. I'm just bothered with this half moon deformation in between the lugs...



By the way, it's an H series.

Closer look compared to my cousin's 111



Thanks in advance

"deformation" or "giant dent from having been dropped"?

If that's a giant dent then it must be a perfect one

That looks way off, don't think it was dropped, seems like it is deformed from the manufacture which would lead me to believe its not real. I weould have it checked out by AD to make sure before giving away your money.

You sure that is not just a reflection? Ask for better photos of in between the lugs?

The marks are from a steel bracelet. Someone tried wearing it with a Panerai style bracelet... likely a fake bracelet as the real one (in my experience) leaves scratches but not gouges. There are also pit marks on the movement but I'd need better pics of the dial and movement to give a definitive assessment on the watch. As such I'd stay away.

There is also something off about the box set; I suggest you pass.

Box is fake. Warranty card also.
And watch also. Never seen such a "chip" on a Luminor... Movement bridges are also of very bad finish !

I would buy it but at an acceptable price, $50 is good.Tell the seller that you want it to check the mistakes with the other ones you have
