Gents, I am trying to find out about my watch. It is an I series 2006 243. Purchased by the original owner at Tourneau in N.Y back in Dec 2006. At some point in its life it has been PVD coated and when I purchased some time ago it was unworn. I am trying to establish where and when the PVD was applied. I will get some pictures up over the weekend.
Hope someone can help.
Cheers.

The only person that would know that is the owner of the watch who PVD'ed it. Panerai would not PVD a 243 and they might reject servicing it due to the PVD. It is an ETA based movement so service should be fine, but replacing a bezel, crystal, hands, etc may prove difficult.

As mentioned the PVD was aftermarket, not done by Panerai. Also, how was it unworn when you purchased it if it has already had PVD applied? If so, the person you bought it from should have your answer.
I'm confused

IWW is well-known in the Panerai community for their DLC work. Maybe they did it and have a record of the watch?

I bought from dealer in London....he was not the person who had the PVD done and he didn't have details available. After the PVD re-watch was not worn......
