Rep Panerai ETA 6497

[Bosshaug]

I have a few pams.

One is a RXW mm20 and one is a 111.

I have a new ETA 6497 (Swiss) movt. which i would like

to replace with the Asian Unitas in the 111. I want the Swiss ETA 6497 in it instead.

Can someone tell me if this movt. will slip right in the case without problems?Is it a difficult operation?

Can i use the same crown from the asian movt. with the new eta?

Thanks Lads

If you've ever worked on a watches before a swap of an Asian 6497 clone with a Swiss version isn't too difficult, but if you've never done a swap before I'd suggest that you leave it to an expert. Good luck.

In my experience the Swiss ETA and the Asian copy are 100% interchangable.

I have seen different means of fixing the movement in place, hopefully this is the same on your 2 movements and you should be good to go. I would also think that the stem should be the same to, so hopefully you wont have to unwind the crown.
