Font color on the gens look white to me:

Is it possible some of these things change from model year to model year? I'm sure now that the one in that listing is fake, but, for example, the font color is something that maybe changes? Not sure

No, the dial text color is wrong, the gen should come with cream color text.
All H-series PAM replicas come with incorrect white dial text, something rep makers inherited from 'older' G-series PAMs like 111G, for example. That's why a lot of us still prefer 111G over 111H reps.

Panerai changed the dial text color from white to cream on their H-series in 2005, and kept it on I-series in 2006.

Here's another clue: look at this guy's other current watch auctions. I looked at several, and each one has a sentence about "this watch was not working for some reason, so we had our trusty local watchsmith put in a high quality SWISS ETA movement at low cost, and pass the discount on to you!

Scam, scam, scam.
