    Have they said why there are no papers with the watch?
    Nothing against the seller who I do not know, but I wouldn't rush into this before you've got it properly checked out to ensure you are 100% happy before proceeding. Hindsight is always a wonderful thing and that's a lot of money. Would they be prepared to have the watch authenticated?
    Alternatively are there any others for sale with papers etc from other reputable sources.

    The seller said that he will accept any tests and/or authentification.
    Sadly....no other for sale ....only two on chrono24 and 30-40% more expensive
    I will ask why the papers are not around

    Right priced?

    That seems like a very good price for one of those. I’d try and do some homework on the seller because that feels almost to good to be true.

    A contemporary watch without the complete kit, for me, remains where it is. I advise not to buy it. Dominate the monkey on the shoulder and wait for a safer purchase.

    The price is suspiciously too good to be true...

    Even without B&P (it still has the B) I don’t think the price should dip this low...

    Exactly my thought!
    Let suppose that I meet the seller and have the watch authentificated as original by a private watchmaker.
    Is there any method to check if the watch didn't fall from the back of a lorry....sort of saying?
    I mean ....an email to Panerai or .....any other organization that might keep trace of ....missing watches?
    Sorry for asking but it's a big value and I cannot risk such things

    I have never tried but I believe you can register with the Art Loss Register and pay a fee 5-10pounds to search the serial number.

    If it’s a theft or insurance job it might be listed there but it’s not guaranteed as proof it wasn’t stolen in the past.

    The thing is when buying watches if your uncomfortable in anyway you need to buy from a shop rather than buy from private guy.
    Panerai fakes are really good so if had doubts would rather keep my money

    The full set means a great deal to me when buying used.I tend to think a little more money for a full set is worth it.But always check out the seller.

    For this price and no papers .... suspicious ...
    My advice: if no real authentication/origin from Romenia, don't do it.

    If you are uncomfortable then don’t do it. At the end of the day it’s only a watch.

    I would also say don't do it. It sounds too risky for a private transaction. It would be a different matter if it was one of the big grey dealers in a bricks and mortar establishment that you could go back to in the event of any issues. Chances are when you have parted with your money the seller will suddenly become impossible to get hold of.

    Also, who is authenticating the watch. Could you imagine trotting into a well known high street AD with a second hand watch and you show it to a sales person in a suit and ask them if it's genuine - good luck with that.

    Offer 6150 euro on the condition they have it serviced by Panerai first.

    Sit back, pour a drink, have a cigar, watch for the cloud of dust as the seller disappears.
    Or, if they agree, there's your verification and you're still paying a decent price for the watch.

    Guess what?
    I just had a small chat with the seller and he totally agreed with the proposal of having a full service at the local Panerai dealer.
    Moreover, the AD told me that that will only accept for service an original Panerai so....case ...almost closed
    We'll see on Thursday ...
    I'll keep you postat.
    But...as always....another dilema was born
    Not being sure about this one I war loosing around for another Panerai and I find this in Monaco....and the dealer have me a real good deal.....
    What should I do.......?Please advise ...please :)
    Link to the alternative....much safer,cheaper and B&P.... https://www.chrono24.ro/panerai/radi...7860&showAll=1

    The blue panerai is much nicer.
    If its serviced, its good to go for a couple of years and its a great watch at still a decent price, plus you have proof its genuine with the service documents pam will issue if you wish to sell it on.

    are you going to wear the ch24 pam or put the box and papers for it on your wrist? ;-)

    Hahahha
    Sensitive advise
    Never thought that a service certificate will count as a prof of autenticity but....it makes sense
    Thanks again
    P.S.: even with gorilla wrist the box wont fit
