MMK Firstly I'm sorry that some of the responses to your post have been Rude, somewhat disparaging and quite frankly hypocritical. A large number of us rightly or wrongly do care about these kind of details and kudos to you for spotting this. When I saw the post I did think that the movement was the best thing about this watch, I would of been a bit miffed if I only noticed when it was in my hands. The watch is a bit of mis-mash of models 36/61/177 etc but I do hope the new owner enjoys it for what it is despite its flaws.
I'm surprised that this incorrect spelling hasn't been noticed before on other manual wind models. If the watch had been said to come from EL or Hopno then I'm sure the usual sycophantic w4nkfest would have ensued.
As has been briefly mentioned, quite a few years ago a number of watches contained incorrectly spelt movements. These were on the 027/028 Power Reserves and the 029/063. Folklore says these came from Eddie Lee or Hopno but that just Marketing BS as most dealers could get them, I think PWC was the last to have them on his iOffer page,but that was at least 3 years ago. I started a post here a while back that has some great examples.
These watches were expensive then $500 + and mainly because of the movements but these days those watches can command 2 or 3 times that amount.
So the inquisitive part in me kind of wants to know if there is any connection between these types of movements and the one in the sale.
I don't have the eye to tell if its a swiss movement or Asian but i hope its a swiss. Whatever $ we throw at our watches they are still reps at the end of the day. I think given the recent quality of the A7753's and the 005/111/177/219's etc we have all taken a hit on the value of our PAM collections.
I kind of like the Flaws especially when they aint obvious like this misspelling, they add character and a part of the story.
Cheers
