I follow replicas closely, gives me more confidence buying preowned, and a better appreciation for the real thing. There are several tells on this watch.

If you buy from a reputable source there are generally no questions..

anyways, please, enlighten us on the "tells"...

Older PAM reps are easy, crown is a little skinny and too close to the case, the crown guard is skinny as well, cg pin insn't right. PANERAI and LUMINOR MARINA font's are the biggest tell on this version, way to thin. L swiss made L isn't printed well, etc etc etc. The most recent replicas are better than this, almost exact to the genuine thing.

Look at a stock photo of a 111H or later (sandwich dial) and the photo above, the first thing that will jump out at you is the font on the dial.

Only thing i can see is the "L" next to swiss looks off, but it could just be the picture.

Very interesting. Not a fan of Panerai so wouldn't have ever known the difference. Of course no disrespect to the owner.

BTW, really like the Omega you posted at the beginning of the thread. Here a couple of my favorite Omega's
