Hi Everyone,
A few days ago I revieved a PAM 127 from a very reputable dealer who all would know. I thought at the time I had done my homework on this one by reading all that I could about this great rep. Well after I got the watch I read even more and it has only sowed some doubts in my head as to the product recieved and the product described.
The PAM 127 was the best this dealer had to offer....it's the one with the Swan Neck regulator and sapphire crystal. It was added to his site on 5-31-06. From reading a post from another very reputable dealer I have ascertained that a PAM 127 w/ a case number of E0117 is as correct as correct can be and does have a sapphire crystal on both front and back. However, the watch I recieved has a case number of E0581 which the other dealer claimed had defects ie. mineral glass. crystal not properly domed, and wrong case markings. Also I noticed that "OFFICINE PANERAI" is not centered on the crown. Can anyone help a paranoid newbie out with this? I would like an expert opinion BEFORE I take it up with the dealer who by the way I found to be very reponsive.
Thanks Guys!
Bruce
