The PAM 243 first series from I-serie onwards were T SWISS T dial and with caseback without engraved series, and after that they changed to engraved caseback and L SWISS L dial.
K, L and M series have this Luminova dial and engraved caseback.
You can find below a pic of a gen 2006 I-series PAM 243 for comparisons

Study your watch and then the photo. Decide what you can live with and what needs to change. I do know the newer reps have better crown guards and a few other updates, but frankenly speaking, I have no idea on differences between the T and the L gens.

Your watch is almost perfect. Leave it like that and enjoy it !!

You will never get the 100% gen, and people who are able to see it is a replica will always be able although you make some mods.

No worries, and as above said: ENJOY YOUR WATCH !!

so according the pics ALE posted above...the t swiss made t dial i have(from both side of the digit 6)is also truth!
may be the first batch of the pre I series were with dial like that and after they started to engrave the series numbers they changed the location under the 6 digit?

There is no pre-I series as the PAM 243 was introduced in 2006 (I-series). It is correct that when series engraving on the caseback started with the J-series the T SWISS MADE T placement did change (bottom of the "6" instead on both sides). On K series onwards, Ttritium was replaced by Luminova so T SWISS MADE T was changed to L SWISS MADE L.

The most important thing, as ALE has previously suggested, is to enjoy your watch. And yes, the gen I series has T SWISS on the left and MADE T on the right of the "6". It's rare in that the gen I-series only had a 500 production run plus most of the PAM 243 reps nowadays are the L and M series.

Yes, it is the gen I-series of the pics that I have above posted

EDIT: Sorry mysterio. I didn't realize that I have almost repeted your post

I have to clarify that I have seen too I-series with engraved caseback and non cut T SWISS MADE T . Maybe last units of I-series
And I have seen too pics of I-series with Luminova dial, most likely due to a changed dial in a Panerai AD
