  • Panerai Authentication

    Hi Folks

    i am thinking to get a pre-owned panerai from a seller at this forum.
    Should i go for authentication first?
    If yes , where should i go ? probably on weekends?
    Thank you.

    What model is that? And what series? Complete with paper and box? does the seller of this forum has many reviews?

    It might turn out to be not necessary.


    You never know.

        It is really up to you if you want to do authentication, or not. As what Mr Paneraii has advised, carry out those checks and see how. If you still feel unsure/insecure, then do it. Since Richemont has ceased to provide this service, you may want to check with the independent watch shops/companies to see if any of them can do it. Check with them if they are also opened during weekends.

        Good luck

          Is it possible to authenticate by our self since these models are see-through back ? What to look for? thanks

            Can, if you're confident enough. I'm not

            Or find someone who has the same watch to go with you, if you can find one.

              Most will say buy the buyer but it really depends on how much experience you have with the particular watches and hence how confident you are to self-authenticate. I would say 111 and 112 with transparent case back is relatively easy to verify, plus the papers, movement stickers etc have to match. I haven't heard about a case of a fake PAM that comes with complete set and matching papers/movement stickers. I bought my 112 from a new forum member who have zero feedback - the price was good so I took a small risk.

                  Then it's better to play safe than sorry. You haven't told us who the seller is? If not convenient, never mind.

                      Experience does not necessary mean you have to own one before. You can go touch and feel the watch (or similar models) at some AD or preowned dealer. My very first PAM, or in fact all the PAMs I bought over the forum, were without authentication.

                      But judging from what you said, maybe you should go for authentication, somehow.

                        It might be difficult if you have no experience nor own a Panerai previously. Because the booklets, papers and box can also be faked but it is very very very extremely duper obvious if you own one Panerai before.

                        There should have a stamp on the warranty card if Local ADs,

                        The ones serviced by richemont, even easier, because the BB number Case number Serial number should be listed on the service paper


                        just my experience and views, it doesn't mean anything because $ is yours.

                          O I C. Mr edsonchan has long been a member here and I believe he has sales references you can read up on. As for the other one, he/she is a little new to me. See if any other member(s) here can guide you along better.

                            Agree...even the smell when you open up the wooden box, is kinda unique
