The Panerai PAM-172 is a limited edition watch made from an uncommon metal called "Tantalium". This metal is hard to work with but has a unique appearance; it's sort of titanium looking in my opinion. It's limited production numbers means it's a hot watch, with Panerai only making 500 examples.

Fake examples of the Panerai PAM-172 Tantalum are available with decent quality. It's basically a derivation of the standard Panerai PAM-111 watch, but made with a different metal. It also has blued-steel hands and an inset seconds area on the dial.

Common flaws on fake Panerai PAM-111s are evident on this watch: thin crown, poor crown guard, inset cannon pinion (see Ziggy's article). All in all the examples we've seen are average quality Panerai replicas; easy to spot for people who know what to look for.
