sssurfer Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 This is a follow-up from another topic where we found unaccuracies in most rep cards from 'our' dealers. This is meant as sort of a census about which writings are actually printed on a genuine PAM International Guarantee Certificate (that plasticized card vaguely resembling of a credit card, usually with blue printings on a gray-and-silver background). Some gen owners gave their infos about, and I did some searches on the net, and it seems that there are essentially 2 types of genuine cards, differing about the inscription in the middle of the card and the small writings on the background: 1) One with no "FIRENZE 1860" (only "OFFICINE PANERAI") in the middle, and with "panerai panerai panerai..." on the background. 2) The other one with "FIRENZE 1860" (right below the big "OFFICINE PANERAI") in the middle, and with "officine panerai officine panerai officine panerai..." on the background. Please would you genuine owners state in this poll which type(s) of card(s) did you get with your gens? Or, even better, post a scan of one of your cards? (even if I am not supposed to pray for that). Also, if you choosed option #3 or #4, please can you specify your details in a post? Really thanks, and apologies for bothering you. This would help us nuts who take in account also the accuracy of cards in judging on whether it is worth to get them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted April 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Thanks to the one who helped. C'mon, folks, I can't believe you have nothing to add. Did I touch a taboo by chance? BUMP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

got-it Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Here's a gen with the card. Doesn't look like it has that line on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Same as my gen "credit card"...only OFFICINE PANERAI" as the middle line with the small font PANERAI in the background... cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Why would someone need to know this? The accuracy of the watches is important to someone wearing them. The accuracy of the accessories is important to someone selling them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just, some of us (or me at least) like to try the feel and taste of the real thing -- without spending a fortune. In this view, there is no great difference between what you wear and what you have in your drawer. Someone said that the only difference between children's and adults' toys is their price. And this is one of those occurrences. BTW, thanks to all who gave their contribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
