TomRiddle Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 is it possible to ID a movement just by looking at it? please let me know if this is a swiss movement, if you can tell just by looking thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTR Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 This looks like a common Asian 6497, with Panerai engraved foil stickers... The current base ETA/Unitas 6497 is actually a bit uglier in it's finish, but it may be a "real" ETA/Unitas 6497 with a slightly higher grade of finish. Just doubtful... as Asians are commonly sold as Swiss, and ETA has eliminated most outside sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 swiss but what is this for blue screws??? They looks realy hand blued? Maybe modded? maybe one of my sold movements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRiddle Posted December 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 dunno about the blue screws reason why i asked btw is it's a base 111h i bought long ago for $180 , supposed to be swiss, etc so wanted to know and yes, it's base but just wanted to see what the movement experts see i can't tell what from what.. i don't even know what a dagger swan or neck regulator thingie is, lol normally I'm an info seeker and would do my homework.. but it's a Panerai -.- i'm so not a pam guy thanks you two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe modded? maybe one of my sold movements That's one of the things I am talking about Tourby... look at the jewel settings as well... the screws AND The settings appear different from base model E/U 6497, however, if these are better finished/different, why are the wheels' finished worse than the stock 6497?

babola Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Swiss ETA 6497-1, stock standard $75 mov't modded by adding glue-on decorative plates and blued screws. Awesome workhorse mov't, one of the least modified ETA 6497 mov'ts that inhibit PAM reps. I have 6-7 of these ticking inside my Pam historics with solid casebacks as well as 036 MM. Go for it mate, you won't regret it! babola 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
