my neighbour is selling a panerai for 1000 dollars its a 112 im not an expert but it looks like a 112 it hasnt got the glass on the case back and the number is L.../1000 ? is this a real watch?

S`` · 5 June 2012, 12:42 AM

1000 dollars... come on... if it's too good to be true it probably is...

fake panerai are abound and plenty... just do a search on google

LNX · 5 June 2012, 12:44 AM

Sounds pretty low price to sell a 112 for. What do you mean it doesn't have the glass on the case back? There is no crystal and the back is open or it has a back but it's not a skeleton case?

Sean.c · 5 June 2012, 12:44 AM

I know... but this is dubai and you get crazy deals like this.. people are rich he drives a bently was wearing a two tone rose gold date just and hes my neighbor ! ill up load a picture of it!

it has a back but its just steel its not a sandwitch back ill try upload a pic

well, if the guy needs money ASAP, you never know, but, $1,000? no, that's not right. not by a long-shot. also, the back should be crystal (L series = 2009; it's correct that there were 1,000 made):

toulouse · 5 June 2012, 12:49 AM

Take a picture of both sides and show us.

Sean.c · 5 June 2012, 01:00 AM

theres one

Sean.c · 5 June 2012, 01:03 AM

thats the back !

Cru Jones · 5 June 2012, 01:05 AM

at the very least, that's not a 112. if genuine, it's a 000 (see the logo on the dial). in that case, it makes sense that the back is SS and not see-through.

Sean.c · 5 June 2012, 01:08 AM

it wont upload the pic of the back not sure why... its got a stainless steel back anyway! can anyone tell me more about it ? thanks alot !

S`` · 5 June 2012, 01:11 AM

rich people doesnt sell things lower than the going rate... that's why they're rich...

click here for the real deal. at the very least, i'd figure out from the guy why he's selling it for thousands below market.

Sean.c · 5 June 2012, 01:16 AM

well he might just be really spoiled! hes a 17 year old kid ! looks pretty real to me.. let me try and upload this picture of the back

Sean.c · 5 June 2012, 01:19 AM

this is the back

B. Doggy · 5 June 2012, 01:21 AM

Can't tell from your pic as it's too grainy. The whole thing sounds fishy. Is there all the apprioriate paperwork?

Sean.c · 5 June 2012, 01:23 AM

he said he thought panerais were ugly and it doesnt suit him and that he bought it as an impulse buy.. it works out as exactly 1365 bucks in the currency in dubai... is it actually a 2009 then if its a 000 ?

Sean.c · 5 June 2012, 01:23 AM

No he just had the watch in a random case thats all he had !

no papers? movement sticker? etc.?

anyway, if he's 17 and a neighbor, see if he'll let you borrow for a day, and then go to an AD to see if you can get it authenticated.

i'm not sure what you're asking at the end there.

mrneddles · 5 June 2012, 01:29 AM

No Panerai expert here, but those pictures look all wrong to me. The size and spacing of the dial numbers/markers appear off.

S`` · 5 June 2012, 01:31 AM

even 17 year olds are not that stupid to market it off thousands below... he could have gotten more by even selling it back to the AD he got it from if it was real... did you even think about that...

sorry smells like a scam and feels like a scam

toulouse · 5 June 2012, 01:41 AM

Borrow and take to an AD. If it's legit, do it.

psv · 5 June 2012, 01:42 AM

Walk away.

First of all, the watch you are showing us is a PAM000 not a PAM112, at least it is trying to be. A 112 would not have the OP logo on the front, it would also have a see-through crystal back not a stainless steel one.

Secondly, if you take a look at the font and quality/depth of the engraving on a real PAM000 back you'll noticeable difference from the one you are showing.

bcacncnc · 5 June 2012, 01:55 AM

Looks fake compared to my 000. Something about the font doesn't look right.

Sean.c · 5 June 2012, 02:42 AM

we are going to the authorized panerai dealer tomorrow to check it out !! will it cost me to get it authenticated?

Sean.c · 5 June 2012, 02:43 AM

I dont believe its a fake because he was so easy going agreeing to see the dealer !!

S`` · 5 June 2012, 02:45 AM

I'm out of this thread... good luck

Well sounds to me that you have your mind made up before you even asked the questions the way you tend to defend the seller.

You are taking him and the watch to get authenticated, then mystery will all be solved tomorrow. It will cost some money to be authenticated but if you manage to purchase a genuine PAM for $1000, then a little fee to give you the piece of mind is nothing to you. Good luck tomorrow and keep us informed.

MortgageGuy · 5 June 2012, 06:35 AM

Seems too good to be true IMHO too, interested to see what the AD says but I cannot imagine someone selling an authentic piece for 1k
