The cannon pin in person looks flat too. I think it's my reflection in the pictures making it look pointed.

Thanks for all your help. I think I'm going to keep it after all. I did manage to find a picture of the OP III from 2006:

Thanks for the comments guys. Looks like this one will be going back.

I don't think its a gen.

What do you notice about it?

Anyone have any thoughts?

This is an i series and I've read that it was the year they transitioned from the open 6.

Here are some pics of the movement I took a few days ago

Very nice!

Panatime sells nice straps for a decent price and is a TD here.

I've been thinking about ordering a few from them. Thanks for the info.

Hello! Thanks for letting me be a part of your forum.

My current watches:

Pam 104 I'm trying to authenticate

Accutron VX200 Chrono

Accutron Gemini Chrono

Sorry, I guess I should have mentioned I can't post pictures because I don't have enough posts.

I will post some as soon as I have 5 posts.

Hello everyone. I was directed here by a member on another watch forum. I recently purchased a 104 and I'm doing my best to verify authenticity. I was told the members on this forum know just about everything there is to know about spotting a replica. I can't post pictures yet because of my noob status, so I'll tell you couple of things about it.

The date function on the watch flips quickly a couple of minutes after midnight. It doesn't slowly change over 30 minutes or so.

I did receive a COSC certificate with the watch and the numbers match the numbers on the movement.

Does anyone know if either of these indicate its authenticity? Is there anything else I should look for?

Thanks for your help.
