Buying notes: Panerai Watch
Find the right reference
Luminor’s crown bridge, Radiomir’s different crown-and-case outline and Submersible’s rotating timing bezel give useful starting points. Luminor Due is not simply another diving specification. Try the lug span and strap curvature: a nominal diameter does not capture how a cushion-shaped watch sits on a wrist.
Compare condition and what is included
Use the PAM reference to verify size, movement and functions. Inspect strap-change screw heads, crown protection where fitted, and the included buckle. “8 Days”, “Destro” and “Marina” describe different features; none of these names alone supplies the complete reference or confirms its condition.
