Officine Panerai

Hi Guys

I would appreciate any info on a watch that I inherited from my father last year. It has great sentimental value, and I think it is around 10-15 years old, although not sure and originally came with a brown strap (I bought a new black Panerai strap) has a magnifier over the date and no secondary dials. It is simply beautiful, but I have no paperwork, box or any information other than that my father was living outside Florence at the time.

Can anybody help?

Thanks so much in advance

Tony

PS: The more information the better!

You can use our PhotoUploader, and directions are here:  http://helpdesk.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-543/pi-2253932/ti-369757/s-0/

Seeing a picture would help immensely.

Cheers,
Anthony

Will try when i get back from work later.

Thanks

Just an observation, if it has a date with a magnifier, there should at least be a seconds subdial.

The oldest version would be from 1999.

that's the strange thing - it doesn't. I serached through the photo gallery here looking for a direct match, but all date magnifiers had a secondary hand - mine doesn't.

I'm trying to upload a couple of photos now

It has c1190/1300 on the back which I presume means it is one of 1300 that year with c being the year, is this correct?

Thanks for any help

A=1998
B=1999
C=2000
D=2001

etc.

Cheers,
AT.

because I can't use Java at work - they are pretty poor quality, but hopefully he'll be able to tell me more than Watches of Switz managed before fleecing me for £260 for a service!

I don't know any date/magnified model w/o small seconds and to make things worse, I don't know of a 'C' millesimation of 1300. Pictures would be a good idea at this stage. If you can't upload them, feel free to mail them to me and I will upload them for you.
