VDBroucke Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 I didnt say the last movement is beautiful/better than others, I said I have the last movement from Cortebert and I said that I have never seen this before, not even in pocket watches. I think the 17 Jewel version is the most beautiful, there are some that look similar to this one: Sorry but this is a pam 21 and the ``cal 618`` is a fantasyname from richmont-group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slay Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Sorry but this is a pam 21 and the ``cal 618`` is a fantasyname from richmont-group Please look at the PDF document I posted and the other link. The PDF shows a Rolex 618 used in a Kampfschwimmer watch and also calls it Rolex 618. The other link states that the Rolex 618 in the PAM21 is new-old-stock like the Angelus movements in the PAM203. Why do you say that the 618 is not real and made up? Do you have a source for this? Because this would be new for me. The image in the PDF is not high quality enough to read the Cal. Nr. on the movement, but whoever wrote the PDF has knowledge about historic PAM's and I don't think he would make up the cal. name. The PDF is in english also, not only german.

earlgrey-erfurt Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 knirim stated google translated: `And so we come to what experts believe and archival material 1938 as first model went into production. It is a clock in, pillow form 'with large housing dimensions (47 mm diameter), with housing and screwed crown and a black dial, on which no writing appears on the roman numerals, hands and Arabic numerals, with phosphorescent material are consecutive. As a wristband attachment serves two bent and soldered ironing. The mechanical movement (caliber 16) with manual elevator has 15 stones and no shockabsorber: it bears the inscription Rolex, the Rohwerk (ground-movement) however, is a caliber of Cortebert, probably originally designed for pocket watches was intended. The glass is made of Perspex, as with the depth gauges and compasses, and the bracelet is made of perforated leather, before the deployment was greased. The bracelet length is so calculated that the clock on the immersion suit could be worn. Clockwork, housing base and crown bear the inscription Rolex, which together with the graphic design of the clock near presented the idea that it is rather a small series from the famous Geneva watch house acts as a project of Panerai. This is not the case. The house itself Rolex declared in a letter dated 11 January 1990 at the Italian watch collectors and experts Francesco Ferretti: We want to make it clear that Rolex military watches never produced. The Radiomir Panerai built our concessionaire in Florence in the 40s on behalf of the Italian Navy. This clock was dedicated to the fight thought of using swimmers, while designing and production through the above Company occurred. Rolex was limited solely to the supply of watches, clocks why not take our trademark '. This makes it officially, so to speak: the Panerai watches were actually built by Panerai, where not only movements, but - at least initially - even other parts of Rolex, such as The screwed crown, used.
