Thanks MrFunk

Great observations that I had absolutely no clue of being a Noob to this. LOL

Ultimately the watch will never leave my collection and is purely for my enjoyment.

The main thing I noticed, was the missing loom pip at 6 o’clock and the crown dial (not the Rolex crown logo as you mentioned) is to wide. From what I can tell is the original is a slightly narrower crown width.

To have an original would be super but the $80k to $150k prices I have seen is way way outside of my budget for a watch.

Thanks again for your welcome and input.

Totally agree.

My Panerai ended up getting sent to the US as PureTime sellected the incorrect country and post code on the shipping mannifest information to DHL so it ended up in Omaha.

The disappointing thing is I had to sort this out myself with DHL as PureTime could not provide me with an answer as to where my watch was.

Anyhooooo, DHL were great and are sorting it out now and it should be in my hands in 3 or 4 days time.

Cheers
