is the pam 193 original?looks dubious and suspicious to me

What's wrong with it, mind to elaborate more?

Ya please share with us, what is wrong with this pam?...
it looks fine to me....

well, maybe its just my eyes, apologies in advance, but the yellow gauge hand is too thin, and the color is not thick enough. subdial spacing for the seconds counter is too far apart from the central cannon pin.pearl at the bezel looks odd, doesnt seem to be glass cladded. now i might be completely wrong, but here's the genuine vs the OP's picture.. vs

I don’t know whether this is the right thread to discuss on genuine vs fake or not. I just want to share my findings on the PAM193. I like to do this since I did bought a few of my watches online. There are mass markets for fake watches outside, so one has to be careful not to pay premium for the garbage.

There are some of the fake watches that almost perfect, especially on the physical appearance at the front of the watch. One has to open the caseback to look at the movement to decide whether it is genuine or fake.

However, QC on the fake watch is not thorough like the QC on the genuine. One can tell whether it is a fake or genuine if they know where to spot the differences. Look at the picture below:



I won’t talk about the color differences because in photography, different lighting will bring different results.

FAKE:
1) Hour and minute hands are wider than genuine.
2) No. 12 is a little bit chubby.
3) Pearl on the triangle is bigger.
4) Marker on the bezel is bigger.
5) The position of wording “PANERAI Automatic” is a little bit higher from no. 6.
6) On the crown guard – CG lever is longer, crown is thinner &  roller ball is bigger.
.
.
……… and the list continue…..

Looks ok to me. Have you tried the depth gauge? And the question that has always been on my mind, it is rated to 120M? What happens if you go deeper (assuming you can)? Is there a warning?
