QC pics (rule-OK, I hope)

[Octobrist]

Hello everybody.

I just received the QC pictures from TD and I've two doubts about the watch, one about the finish and one about the model/series/year.

First the main problem:

As you can see, the lug at 11 has a scratch. My question is if it could be polished easy with a Dremel or similar. If not, it's a "no go" for me.

The second question is simply curiosity as the watch is good enough for me (except for the lug). I paid for a NOOB M series but, as you can see in the following pic, the watch is a P series (2013), Is it really a Noob? What was the last year of PAM005 production?

Thank you in advance, guys. :thumbsup:

I can't even see the scratch, at this extremely close distance. But even let's say there was (and I would probably call it a light/hairline scratch) a bit of manual buffing with Cape Cod will make quick work of it. Dremel with a buffing wheel should work but IMHO that would be overkill and might even cause more harm than good (unless you are familiar with Dremel tools).

Second yes, Panerai made PAM005 at least up to P series. However this information did not come off the top of my head but rather just 5 minutes checking Google.

Yes, I did it just after write the post and found the info out there. But you know, I were in a hurry, at least in my head.

Regarding the scratch, it was a bit of dust, I just received new QC pics and it's OK, so I gave the go ahead and now comes the difficult task: wait for shipment.
The scratch I were referring to was this one:

Thak you for the answer, mysterio. :thumbup:

Example, I just approved these QCs. Check out the lugs a 1. A huge scratch. Watches are meant to be worn! However on a GEN I would reject this watch.
