Is there anyone on the forum that can tell me about two serial numbers?

[Mantooth]

I'm looking into buying a Panerai 104 and was given two serial numbers for two separate watches. Would it best for me to contact RSC or should an authorized dealer be able to help via email or phone? Thanks!

Regards,

Wes

Thanks, Nick. it's a J series. However, I'm looking to authenticate the piece before purchasing.

that's a great idea

I don't think Panerai will authenticate a serial number for you via the phone.
