I understand your point of view, however...
Were this even remotely close to looking like a real Panerai, I would have kept quiet. We all want to avoid helping the fraudsters. However this is so far off the mark from a real PAM, that it is laughable.

Spot on!
Exactly what I thought of - and I am far from an expert in PAMs. Those 2 windows look far too close - cross-eyed
Hello Daniel
Alas, very much a fake or attempted replica. Real Pam would have the seconds further out to the 9 position with no 9 numeral for a start (unless one of the very newest 47mm models. The magnifier on this one doesn't seem to do much. A real one works a bit ...
I'm always intrigued
by the artistic license some counterfeiters choose to employ when making their "creations".
