Drew maximus Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Can someone please help me identify what kind of movement this is and what are the identifying factors. This is from a Panerai GMT PAM 156 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0lf Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 I think it's Asian 21 jewel variety. Not sure of exact model, could be Dixmont or Seagull, nicely decorated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Looks like a 21J alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew maximus Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Thanks guys. Any idea what this is worth. I purchased as a A7750 (paid 300, obviously got robbed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 I guess these 21j GMT are going for around $125-150 new, about $100.00 used. Sorry to hear about how much you paid, I do hope that you did not buy It from anyone here. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew maximus Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Hey Mike, Thank you for the info. Yes I was bummed when I found out and no I didnt buy it from anyone here. Unfortunately through a non trusted dealer. But well I guess I can attest to why we should only purchase from trusted dealers. A good deal, may not be that good in the long run. I did talk to Ajoesmith from RG who specializes in movements and he said its a 21J Seagull movement, which according to him is very reliable. Im thinking im going to hold on to it and try to maybe finish my project. That Date font is killing me though. And that crystal with mag is a killer as well. but there is no way im wasting a DSN crystal on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Its a shame that we can't make DW overlay for these as they seem to becoming more frequent. Are these the same movement in the Big pilots. I think they are pretty sturdy. I don't understand why they make these reps with display casebacks surely it must be easier to make a solid one?

w0lf Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Technically making a decent datewheel overlay should not be very hard. If you want to toy with this idea just pick up water-slide paper at a hobby store and print a negative of A21J datewheel raster that SSSurfer made a looong time ago. It'll take some time to align but you should have enough time before it sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
