if it doesn't look fantastic, it's not genuine. Yours doesn't look fantastic (in addition to the noted comments above).
Curious though, how did you come to own this piece??
D-Rock
Was offered to me from a seller in Canada. Not stupid enough to part with my money if not 100%. Still learning about Panerai watches so all expert advise is appreciated.
I would love to own a 217 but how these days? Never from an AD, so how? Tough to be sure.
Thanks for your help in eliminating this crap fake! I learnt some more details about the original, at least! Cheers
