Do you mean blue tint AR on the sapphire glass?

That is some concern as Pam AR do not have colour tint as far as I know.

AR is anti-reflection coating .
Shouldn't have blue tint on the sapphire.

panerai usually has very weak AR. mostly you can see a bit of orange/red tint on domes. but if it is a flat glass, then you be hard pressed to find any colour.

005s generally should not have blue AR (that said some PAM series did have blue AR historically). They have at most a mild purple/green tint in strong lighting.

Easy way to tell if you bought a replica, look at the logo and the A's

Quick googling shows this replica;

replica


genuine


The A's in the pAnerAi and mArinA have low bars versus high bars in the genuines. Also on the 005s the real ones generally have the logo arrow points to the end of the E close to the R rather than all over the place. Just some general things. Another thing would be the crown guard, its very thick and curved like the Pre-Vs.
