More info please:

2. Finish? eg polished, brushed
3. Crown guard on the:
a. right side (near the 3 o'clock) OR
a. left side (near the 9 o'clock)
4. What about the bezel.. rotatable bezel?
5. Size? tall? grande? venti? (40mm? 44mm? 47mm?)
6. Does it have a sub-second hand or no?
By the way, just by your previous the description alone, I betcha your buddy has a rep
..because I can't find anything that only has panerai under the 12 o'clock that also has a Crown Guard
However, I'm no expert, I just happen to have a panerai catalogue :lol: :lol:
Remember, the less info you give us, the more likely we'll come out with the wrong assesment..
