Why do 1950 have the same prod.nr? Too easy to detect a rep

[blue8300]

All Panerai PAM127 (1950) i ever saw, are using the same production number : E0117/1950 ...

This is very stupid !
Everyone who knows a little bit about replica of panerai will directly look at this number to see if it's a replica or a genuine...
The makers should better use some other numbers, it's just sooooo easy to detect a replica of a PAM127 that way :evil:

I feel sorry for the one person in the world who has the real 117 of the 1950, no one will believe it's a real panerai :mrgreen:


Same exist in fact for all Panerai and a lot of people knows those number...
Like H0035/2000 for a PAN111H

Because it costs more money to engrave/laser etch individual serial numbers.

Don't worry, anyone smart enough to know the serial numbers that reps use, will know it's a rep already just by looking at the movement or a dozen other things. :wink:

The serial numbers are the least of the problem, IMO.

Yep... anyone who knows the watch will know it's a rep when you hand it over... even before it's turned over...

hmmm fakey good thread ... i guess i never looked at it that way. i have a custom Fiddy and never thought about the serial number thing. when i get home will have to pay better attention.

alwyas appreciate your insight Fakey! :wink: 8)

as stated in my earlier post above, i have a custom Fiddy, and i have no marking on my caseback (maybe a sterile hommage caseback?) ... for example

Is that a fiddy with a steel bracelet? Ive seen those 26mm bracelets on ebay.. must be HUGE.
