What's the difference between these 2 movements

And why is part of the engraving on the back cutoff?

Or a better question is which one is more accurate, or are they for different pam models?

I think the top movement is the new E, Asian high-beat. It will be more accurate, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality. The base 6497, be it Swiss or Asian is typically low-beat, in the range of 18,000 vibrations per hour. The high-beat, just like the genuine article is 21k. And it's much more nicely finished. If you can get the new E, do it.

What exactly are you refering to? Do you mean the PANERAI PANERAI PANERAI PANERAI PANERAI PANERAI PANERAI PANERAI PANERAI PANERAI PANERAI ?????

Thats just the decoration on the movement... Or do you mean the engraving around the caseback?

The first pic is the back of the models before the H-series with 'sausage dial'.

The second is the back of the H-series models with 'sandwich' dial

Top photo shows a Fiddy (127) rep with the latest ultimate E-series Swiss ETA 6497 movement. The photo shows the latest Davidsen's Fiddy with that mov't.

Bottom photo shows Davidsen's 177H. Which exact mov't (Swiss or Asian) is shown here is hard to speculate without seeing the blowout photos of the movement first.
