real swiss ata movement...?

[capice]

Recently I bought this movement from a member on another board, as an swiss ETA 6497-1 17j movement..

As the parts being stamped with panerai looked real thin and "non genuine" to me, I was wondering if somebody could tell me if this is a real swiss ETA?

Thanks in advance

Got a tip from TWP, tnx bro.

Any other opinions?

It's a Swiss ETA with Asian foil Panerai style dceorations added. Functionally it's 100% Swiss and, IMO, in a solid caseback watch is the best option.

Tnx PAMman,

I would say Swiss, with Panerai engraved plates on top. Notice that shock protection is Novodiac, not Incabloc - although I'm no expert, but I think asian 6497 use only Incablock, and I've seen Swiss with both. BTW, this one have OPII style bridges, so closed caseback is best for this (or 036).
