Advice on this Panerai? Real or fake?

Hey all I dont normally post these but I am stumped with this Panerai. I bought it from someone who wore it daily for years hence the condition. I brought it to my watchmaker who was ready to service it and said it was real and a good OP III movement. However when I posted it on reddit to ask for strap suggestions I got flamed for it being an obvious fake and how can I be so stupid. No explanations were given. So I am hoping some of you can provide some insight on this watch

Here's what I know about it, its a 2007 OP 6693 PAM104, 44mm diameter. Here's another online https://everywatch.com/panerai/luminor-marina-automatic/op6693/watch-2433071 Heres another with good photos https://shop.hodinkee.com/products/...CPQ3dCCI3qKSxq9WNoghHD51F1x0XAKta9oJK7QRlVWPQ

Here's mine

Anyone know panerais at all?

I tried asking for explanations and was told some heinous things and my post was deleted... I was called a Chinese rep seller who was advertising my watches lol

Thanks for you comment though appreciate it!

If the quick releases on the case works, then id say, watch is good. Those quick releases are hard to fake. To be fair, REPs have perfected this model a decade ago.

Yea the quick releases work nicely kind of annoying to deal with when changing the straps imo though.

I've had 4 trusted watchmaker tell me it's good to go. One of which is an authorized dealer and sells used ones fairly often.
