A questionable Panerai on Ebay

[superspark69]

Been looking at this one on eBay and definitely something suspicious about this one!

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAM-004-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2055359.m1431.l2649

Pre-A Dial with a B serial case back?.

Any other thoughts?.

 

[PAM_BOY]

Everything ok in my opinion. I only know the PAM004 that way!

 

[superspark69]

but is a pre-a dial with a b serial case back, it shouldn't have any letter designation on case back surely? as in the dial is pre a serial

 

[superspark69]

this how the caseback should be for that dial -

 

[superspark69]

it also states a 6519 case whereas pre-a is 6500

 

[superspark69]

this is how the dial should look on an a or b serial

 

[superspark69]

this is how the dial should look on an a or b serial

I know this destro but look at the shape on numbers and Swiss text

Well now that ebay has an authenticity guarantee, it should make a lot more buyers a lot more comfortable.

I've only seen the B series with an L dial, but on the Internet I found references to the 6519 B series 004 with both T and L dials.

But also, I'm wondering why the set includes a booklet with the image of pam090, which started from the D series, is included with the watch of B series... I'm not very versed in trim levels, but it seems at least strange to me.

If anyone is interested, read some research on this topic:

The B can indeed come with a T dial, however this has come with a Pre-A tritium dial, The Pre-A dials had similar number shapes to the Pre-V dials and certainly were not available in a b series watch AFAIK
