Please help!!! Panerai fake?
I am sick to my stomach, and believe I may have purchased a replica based on what I've read. Can someone please help me out here?I purchased a PAM 243 Submersible K model. It looks amazing...I took a shower and noticed a very small bit of moisture inside the piece. I purchased overseas on eBay, but thought I found a very reputable source due to the volume and feedback regarding quality watches.I used Paypal for the purchase, and am within my time to contest.I will be driving to a Panerai dealer on Monday to have the piece checked out.Can anyone please provide any details regarding this piece and the fakes that exist? It has boxes, paperwork, tools, bands, tags, and everything! Are there specific model numbers (K###/500) for fakes of this watch?Thanks to any of you who can offer advice. Other than the slight moisture, the piece is flawless and has a serial number etched on the back (but I don't know how deep it is supposed to be).Is it possible that it could be real with something

Simple Simon School of Watch Repair
Waking up this morning way too early because it is so humid I could not sleepand I am excited about Earl showing up (I have been through a couple of tornados but this is my first hurricane) I decided to see the latest features on Youtube and I found this gem.

Since the title was watch cleaning I was expecting to see the watch cleanedbut NOOOOO! The guy is cleaning lint from the inside of the watch crystalusing tape at that. I was expecting a can of WD-40 to show up followed up by a bottle of Mr. Clean. What a bummer. I did not know that fake watches come with lint inside of them. Of course, seeing the ease of opening the back I can only wonder if the lint penetrated through the sealsif any exist at all. The second youtube video is the Simple Simon Watch Repair lecture on how to remove the cyclop
