In my opinion the watch looks OK, but there's no way I'd be buying anything (let alone a $4k luxury watch) from someone with a feedback score of 26, with none of those received in the past year. As every - buy the seller...and this one fails!

From that movement photo you just can not confirm authenticity.

I suspect fake due to what appears brassing on back case and the shade of the center wheel.
Something just does not look right.
That said, I have no definitive evidence to report it

Thank you! The paperwork looked off to me as well. I’m local and could do a FTF transaction but the quality of the fakes out there are scary good.
Will see if the seller has a bill of sale.

Seller provided additional paperwork showing purchase from Les Bijoux Panerai store in Boca Fl.

Do serial number of paperwork tie up with movement?
As I say, the photos were just not good enough to authenticate or report as a fake

Understand and appreciate the quick response. Some additional photos of warranty. Everything matches what’s engraved on the watch. Would assume this was a limited run of 1500 pieces?
