capice Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAMman Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z3k0 Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 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). regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
