Sorry for the late reply, was very busy and not so clever about posting photo. Here you go.




watch looks great, so no worries.

maybe you are just not used to this movement.
the rotor is a bit slow (or more "subtle" and doesn't move as fast as the ETA ones.

Can all the sifu help me to verify this PAM whether is genuine?
The back casing a bit different compare to the early one.
If u notice the the word Office Panerai is next to the windding button instead of the strap.

thanks!

The position of the brand name can be anywhere against the outside, ie can be against the top strap or the bottom strap or the crown or in between. It all depends on how the case back was screwed in. Most important is the source of the watch. Is it new? Is it preloved? Buy the seller.

Oh I would be worried about the loose screw inside the watch....

Actually this is a 2nd hand PAM, price is not cheap also.
I am doing some research thn decide whether to buy or not to buy!

what u mean is the previous owner might hv open up back case & didnt screw properly?
Source of the watch is from a shop tht specialised in selling 2nd hand luxury watch.

I've check some photo from PAM website, the wording suppose to align with the strap not the winding button. Am i rite?

The wording can align anywhere. It depends on how the case back was screwed in. The reference picture on the Panerai site is only a reference of how the watch looks like.

Your main concern should not be the alignment of the writing rather the loose screw you see in the picture.
