Panerai Certificate of Authenticity

Does anyone have experience with Panerai’s COA?

I’m assuming case number, serial number and movement number are verified against internal docs?

Yes, that's correct. Panerai's Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is a document that verifies the authenticity of a Panerai watch. The COA includes information about the watch's model, case number, serial number, movement number, and production date. The information is verified against internal documents to ensure that the watch is authentic. Additionally, the COA is signed by a Panerai representative to certify its authenticity.

While the watch is there you might want to get it pressure tested and get new gaskets, When I sent my PAM682 in they did that and I thought it was a great idea. Its an inexpensive service and it guarentees its water tested. There are seals around the crown, case back. Good peace of mind

What do you mean, you sent it for a COA which is free and then requested the water test and gaskets change ?

My watch was running 8 sec fast per day. I sent it in ONLY to be regulated, no service. They offered to pressure test it and replace the seals at a very reasonable price. Its pretty simple. They remove the movement, replace the seals, then pressure test it in water. Time to go swimming

Unfortunately, COA cost is $400 USD excluding shipping and insurance.
