Spot on watch
Dear Panerai members I have a question. Yesterday I purchased my first Panerai the 243 submersable. When I left the store with it on I was extremely excited. Day two I noticed a weird white spot that looked like it was inside the reflective area over the date. When I look at it, it seems like a ugly white mark. I called the store and the salesman said that it was just a reflection from some light. Have any of you experieced this, and if so how do you deal with it.
Thanks

The Panerai PAM243 1000m Submersible has magnifying cyclops
underneath the sapphire crystal over the date window. Is this what you're referring to? If you see a white mark in this area and think it's a flaw, then I would bring your watch back to the authorized dealer you purchased it from. If you purchased a new P...

I'd have to see a picture of what you're seeing to be able to yes or no
Do you see this white mark when you view the date area at an angle? Or do you see it when you look at the date straight on? - AT
when I see it
i see it when I look at it straight on. I can turn the watch and make it go away. So maybe i just overreacted
Same here...
I have got a 285 and i can see white spots too, which i think its the reflection of light due to the convex/concave nature of the cyclops as when i try to slowly turn the watch from different angle, the spots disappear....cheers, Mat
thanks
I've been with it for 4 days and I now agree with your assessment. I just got a little freaked out as it was more than we had planned to spend on a watch. But I love it and am glad I didnt get the 24 Thanks for your response Lo.
