There are no box or papers and I am on a business trip. They had the watch listed at $1800 but was able to haggle it down a bit. I am now worries about the authenticity of the watch. I own a couple rolex and one panerai. I love watches and was certain this was real. I am now concerned...are there any dead give aways on determining authenticity. I expressed my concern and the pawn shop said they would listen to me. Back case read CW2118 on the left side / right side LJ8241 numbered 1563 / 4000 Thanks for your help Juan Antonio R Hi DC,

The easiest way to tell is by the movement. Calibre 17 Monaco = plexi; Calibre 12 Monaco = crystal David Yes, Alex- 2009 models generally have plexi; 2010 models generally have crystal.

The easiest way to tell is by the movement. Calibre 17 Monaco = plexi; Calibre 12 Monaco = crystal
