help with dating a Panerai 50

a local jeweler has a used panerai 50 for sale I am very interested in. Great price!

All the paperwork is included, it was purchased at Tourneau in 2004.

However, when I looked on the back, I could not find the letter to indicate year. I attached a picture from paneraisource.com I used for a reference. But this watch did not have the letter on back.

Should I be looking elsewhere? Warranty card?
Basically I am going to buy if it is a G, but not F (huge difference in production numbers between the 2 years)

thanks!

thanks mfer -
I got that list.

My question is - I did not see the letter on the back on the watch. Is there somewhere else I can find it? Like in the paperwork?
Since the watch was bought in 2004, it could be a F or G -

As a general rule I suggest not dating anyone over 50.

There's always an exception to the rule.

That's exactly what I was thinking as well. Watch out for those cougars on the prowl.

I got a 50! Good luck! I can't really help you, because mine has an "I" on the back, exactly like your reference pic. Seems like you should be able to see the letter back there...hmm
