PAM 441 anti reflective coating
Hi guys,
I have some questions about panerai as I recently bought my first panerai. How do you know/verify if its a authentic one eventhough you buy it from AD? Also, do you guys know how does the anti reflective coating looks on pam 441? Any suggestions for aftermarket strap that makes the watch looks formal?
Thank you,
Steven

I bought it from AD....
will it be okay to bring the watch to the boutique for verification? Thanks for your suggestions for the straps.
I don't see why not but at best the Boutique can do is a physical inspection
of the outside. The Boutique is not equipped to take the caseback off to examine the movement. - AT
thanks for the advice....
also....i noticed that the case back is the other way around (the officine panerai label) is on the bottom instead of the top...is this normal? Also, do panerai watch usually have glare from the lights? thanks
