Panerai Tourbillon

[mactower]

So I'm in a high profile meeting with a few execs from another organization today and what do I spot on the arm of one of the Senior VPs but a Panerai Tourbillon. It was complete with a PAM rubber strap.

After a little research it looked almost like this (without the date window):

The only PAM I could find that was close was a rep...

Thoughts?

The size of the case was the same as my fiddy though, it looked pretty big on this guys wrist. I was happy that I could spot a PAM so easily, saw a few Breitlings and a couple of TAGs in the room as well, it was a really dull meeting.

You can tell a fake tourby easily .. a rep tourbillon is really just an "open heart" design, which just means the balance wheel is seen thru the dial. There's no tourbillon cage, no multi-axis rotational movement .. just a normal watch balance spinning in place.

Sounds like the VP has a case of VPP

(very poor pams), clearly has no shame!!!

Looks like the one that European MP got rumbled for a few momths back.

They don't make a front visable tourbillion Panerai only the 0077 and that was a Rad.

Thanks gents, I knew posting here would turn up a font of knowledge. It was an open face tourbillon PAM.
