Is this PVD Submersible real? Offered with no strap, no boxes.

TIA

I don’t know if it’s a real Panerai, but I know it’s real ugly.

Buy a titanium Panerai if you want a Submersible.

Yeah, would not buy from someone who can't bother taking a decent photo to sell a luxury watch.

Slightly better pics.

I can’t see anything obviously bad about it, but don’t know what to actually look for.

what model is it?

The date location looks weird to me - it should be closer to the edge of the dial, and the numbers seem odd on the case back.

There is no serial number to the watch - i.e, P0300/1000 or something like that.

Font seems off.

Should be the quick release and not screws if modern.

But I could be completely wrong.

Yes, looks fake to me. Even if it were genuine, the days of the aftermarket PVD are in the past, so I think it would be a dog and likely a loss if you sold. There are decent Panerai subs out there if you want one.

Safer to just stay away

The longer you stare the worse it gets. Look at what the center post is supposed to look like.

Obviously they threw a Miyota in there or whatever fake movement they’re using these days. They aren’t meant for 47mm watches so the date window sits way closer to the center.

Id report this guy and run away from this deal.

Yeah the date is so far inset, that it throws the whole dial off.

The 30 on the bezel isn’t squared up either. Lots of little things.

I believe the weight of little things is enough to reach a verdict of fake

As usual, thanks to the DWC another costly mistake avoided!

I know this is an older thread, but what is "Amagnetic?"

Clearly “Pansexual” as well.

Never had sex with pans, but there was this one time I saw a show in Mexico with a spatula, mixing bowl, and a burro.
