Early tritium PAM question

May 26, 2019,05:30 AM
 

After many current Panerai, I finally found "the keeper" PAM, a complete and very nice 2A which is everything I need and want: simplicity close to its roots, tritium patina and wearable size (for me).






Now the interesting thing is: I recently found a 2A offered at an US dealer that just made me wonder:

Question to the experts: what is the logic behind that? Thanks for your help!

2A below (1500) and kicked my own butt. It'a a FAKE!!!!!!!!!!! If you look at the dial, the 3 is "carved" on the dial, same as the Pre-V and Pre-A. The other 3 digits are "applied" to the dial, same as the A models (unless the picture is so horrific, the ...
