Dave,

Why don't you email Panerai direct in Florence? Send them a picture and ask if they can verify authenticity and also whether they would be able to 'repair' it for you. If you pay a couple of hundred* quid to get it polished up, you may reap the outlay back several times if you sell on? Panerai will also tell you if its genuine, or otherwise.
