Legit 510?

[joony8386]

Hello everyone,
Last week I've asked on this forum about my choices for my first Panerai. I appreciate everyone's feedback on that. I've narrowed down to a PAM 510. The dealer (whom I've never met yet) has been very informative about the timepiece. They're a very reputable shop in Hong Kong but I just wanted to ask the savvy community here just in case. Based on the photos, do you think this piece is legit?

Sorry for the photos they did not remove the vinyl when taking the pics

*The previous owner was a lady thus she wore it on the pink strap. Both straps are brand new.

Looks legit, but no way to confirm without opening the back case to confirm movement.

They sent me a pic of the back... the p5000 movement looks pretty solid I guess? Or do counterfeiters nowadays have a grip on copying this too?

it's tough to tell, maybe ask for some pics of the case back. Also, for a sandwich dial, the cut outs don't look very deep, but could just be the pictures. What letter reference is this 510?

They said P-series Serial, here's a pick of the back.
The p.5000 movement looks solid to me, or are there counterfeiters who have a grip of making these look identical too?

it looks ok, but i'm usually reluctant to say it's legit without the full picture. If it has all boxes and papers and it matches all the numbers on the watch, odds are it's legit.

Maybe someone else can comment on this, but I thought the P series 510's had polished crown pins instead of brushed. Although, this could be someone just brushing the entire guards and over looking that detail (if it was re polished ever, happened to my 111 after service).

Looks good from this pics.

May I ask what shop this is from in HK? I am in HK and I know a few 2nd hand shops and the ones I have brought from sells legit stuff. You can PM me the name and I can see if I can dig up anything abt the shop....
