tanya Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Got my gorgeous Dav 1950 with Swiss Movement, AR Sapphire , tight lever , and blowtorch Lume from Rtag a few days back to stand in for the RXW MM20 I sold to brother Z-tech. Love the watch and the quality is flat out beautiful!!! Question about the movement though. I know it is Swiss, It keeps perfect time and is quite beautiful to look at but are the decorations inaccurate for a 127??? Not a huge deal to me but I thought the 127 had the movement with Pam engravings all over the plates and the Gold Officine Panerai Firenze. Again love the watch love the transaction but just personally curious as to why Dav chose this Swiss movement for the piece???? Any help would be most appreciated. Will put up more pics of the watch when my Strap Culture Cigar Gator arrives!!!!
dluddy Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 It should have the Panerai, Panerai Decorated bridges. Your movement is more in line with an "H" series or greater PAM. Since 127 was a special edition "E" Series model, here is a shot of a genuine 127 caseback
FxrAndy Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Now if it was a 217 then it would be correct
tanya Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Posted April 12, 2008 Thanks Guys I suspected as much. Still love the watch the craftsmanship is gorgeous. Guess one day I could do a movement swap this H series Swiss would prob go for a pretty penny!!!
FxrAndy Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 My wife has that same movement in her 217 and it is very good, i think it may be a little more swiss than the e with the correct dager adjusting arm too
tanya Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Posted April 12, 2008 Or I could buy a 217 Dial flip the case over flip over and have a watchsmith swap it out???
Watchmeister Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 And I suspect you would need a new center bridge plate as well or you will be looking at Officine... upside down.
tanya Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Posted April 12, 2008 Thanks guys but my wild hair up the butt is gone!!! She's definately a beauty regardless
