Does the Panerai I've bought exist?!

[omar_g]

Hi guys,

I've just ordered a Panerai from Joshua, its a PAM060 Chrono with a 40mm stainless steel bracelet.
I can't find the "PAM 060" anywhere on the net though, does it actually exist?

Also, have I bought a good product? I'm still a little worried about the quality and wrist clock size of the thing, but it appears smaller than my current Tag Link so maybe it'll be ok... Any comments?

Look here 2nd watch listed to compare, it was a special edition of 300 units,so no one will have a gen to test you with....I think the only concern with the reps was that 'Automatic Chrono' was spelled correctly some had 'Automaic" http://people.timezone.com/msandler/Panerai/2000.html

You mean this one?

Panerai 060 SS/Ti Flyback chrono, made in 2000.

I found it litterally as you posted. Thanks buddy.

My only concern is that the original is circa 2000 with a clear back, while the one I've ordered has the rear from the 2003 Laureus awards. Odd!

No problem sir...glad to help....that is odd about the caseback....reps will be reps...I would email Joshua, he always puts my mind at ease and answers all my questions, see what he says and let us know for future reference

He just said it wouldn't be possible to change to a clear back and offered a refund. Very decent of him. I went ahead with the order anyway, just hope it doesn't have the awards logo engraved on the back! I imagine its too difficult for them to reproduce the same design mechanics hence the refusal to copy the rear?

My 192, also produced as a limited edition of 300, also has the wrong caseback. My guess is that these are so rare that finding images of an actual caseback is near impossible. Every image that I have seen of the 192 back has all the numbers covered.
