Thank you! It was authenticated by a watchmaker through ebay (Stoll & Co. out of Ohio). The seller was a fellow collector who was very nice and knowledgable about Panerai and purchased the watch from the original owner in 2009. I do not really have any concerns but was more wondering if there are any clues to look for especially down the road if i buy another.

But like you said, short of a watchmaker examining the watch and movement I suppose it would be difficult.
