GEN or Fake? Need help.

Dealer with a Ukrainian Web site says it's original PAM 001. Want to hear the opinion of experts.

Looks like a PAM001 B series, and looks good to me..

I would say Gen but the shape of the case looks a bit different to me..

In this aspect, I would it leave it to the real Panerai gurus to comment.

Let's wait for Pete M

+1  Pete is the Pam authority, no doubt.

 

PS He logged out 643 this morn so maybe give him awhile.

this is either real or one of the best frankens ever built. 

Gen dial (or 1:1 rep dial of unknown maker) Lume seems to be the over-filled/slightly puffy version, also notice the slight gloss from the varnish on the numbers.

gen hands with greenish T-lume I have a set of these on my franken 10A

gen movement

gen CG (or so close that it is indistinguishable)

caseback is not a Jakob, so easily could be gen, or maybe old Eddie Lee

The only thing that could be rep on this watch is the case/crystal, but we can't tell without a straight on lug shot

 

I'd love to own a 001 T dial someday.
