How to Spot a Replica Panerai Watch
Summer is here, and many male friends consider purchasing aPanerai watchto match summer clothing and then enjoy the sunshine on the beach by the water. Today, I am going to discuss Panerai watches, which are flooded with fake pieces, with everyone! In my opinion, to authenticate a Panerai watch, just follow these steps:

1, place the dial of the Panerai watch close to a strong light source for 10 seconds (you can turn on your phone's LED torch) and then remove it to observe the change in luminescence. Genuine watches and good replicas will display luminescence immediately, with the radium glow showing a blue tinged with green (a sensation hard to describe in words, look at retail models more to understand), very soft and with even lustre, free from dead pixels or similar issues. If you notice dark spots in the luminescent area or certain parts being exceptionally bright, it is definitely a fake watch.
2, Panerai watches have a very substantial weight, feeling heavy and pulling downwards in your hand. If holding it in your hand does not even give a sense of heft, it can by no means be genuine.

3, the engraving on the case back of a Panerai watch is clear, but very shallow, and the typeface is easy to recognise, free from flaws like burrs.
4, for open-case-back models, you can look directly at the movement plates, shock absorber, and balance wheel. If there is the abnormal phenomenon of a plate cover, it is definitely a fake watch. Furthermore, the embossed engravings on genuine watches are neat and crisp, whereas those on fakes are very rough and can be observed under a magnifying glass.
5, the original straps supplied with Panerai, whether in leather or rubber, are free from odd smells. If you catch a strange odour, it is bound to be a counterfeit.

6、Replica Panerai watchweight distribution is relatively even. Some fake watches add ballast weights inside the watch to increase weight; such watches have uneven mass and you can tell immediately upon wearing.
7, the craftsmanship of the Panerai dial is exceptionally refined; if there is a pixelated feel, it is definitely fake.
