Fake Panerai watch and straps - advice please!!
Hi
I've recently purchased a beautiful Pam 299 (my first Panerai), not from an AD. Almost everything seems great. It is my first automatic watch, and the movement makes a whirring sound, and vibrates quite a lot when the watch is moved. It seems like quite a strange sound. And seems strange that you can actually feel the watch vibrating quite strong on the wrist. Is this normal ? Also, do all new Panerai's come with the Registration card ? Mine has a blank warranty card stamped by AD, and COSC, but not the registration card. Finally, do you think the OEM Brown Gator here is real ? http://www.network54.com/Forum/35339...loyant+buckles Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help here |

One reason I prefer the manual wind, the only sound I want to hear is tick, tick, tick, tick.

Joe is a trusted risti, I've spoken to him in the past and he is a stand up guy. Deal with confidence! His family members (son & brother in law?) post there as well.

Thanks
Thanks for your help guys.
I guess I will have to look into the Registration Card, Im not sure why it didn't come with that. The watch came in the blue factor packing, and was brand new. Warranty was stamped, but everything else blank. |

That is a good thing, add your name and date it when you want.

Ya its normal to have no name and date so whoever buys it can fill in themselves.
