Hi,
Today I received my new PAM 005 Noob from Angus, Puretime.
I really love the watch, and I think this is the best Panerai rep that I have at the moment. I have PAM 111N H-Factory, and I have big problems with its CG and Text Dial.
I always been thinking to swap the Asian 6497 movement to Swiss 6497 movement. The Asian movement itself is pretty accurate however personally I think the movement is really noisy despite its close back.
What do you guys suggest?
1. Should I change it to Swiss movement? is the difference movement will reduce the noise?
2. or I should just service the watch and hopefully it will reduce the noise.
and for the Swiss movement, I assume that
A. Unitas 6497-1 / ETA 6497-1 Watch Movement with Hammered Finish
and this
B. ETA 6498-1 Movement With Deluxe Finish and Blue Screws (or if the serial really makes difference, how about same ETA 6497 with decorations)
will perform exactly the same? the only difference is its decorations?
and here a picture of PAM 005 Noob from Puretime. Despite a slower response from Angus, the shipping is blazing fast. Posted on May 31th and supposedly arrive at June 5th.
Thanks,
William
