ALPINEWARRIOR 1 Posted April 3, 2016 Hi, Considering buying either a Panerai or Cartier but unsure whether to go for a basic quartz movement of perhaps a 21j auto movement would appreciate your views. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daywatch 4 Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) For the Panerai go with a handwound 6497-2, for the Cartier quartz if it´s got no seconds hand, otherwise the 21j. Be aware that the 21j reps often (not always) are a lower tier (other/different product) than the ones with asian ETA, same for the quartz. Other than the 21j being lowbeat and sometimes loud (rotor) and giving a "cheaper" feel on the wrist they are fine. Edited April 3, 2016 by Daywatch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leebob 0 Posted April 3, 2016 Rightly or wrongly I have always considered a quartz to be a lesser watch than a automatic version , I have a 21j dssd and I do agree the rotor is loud. my 21j pp complication has clear case back and it looks fantastic but also loud . Am I right to think bph is wear it's at? I would love to see a high beat rep in the flesh, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomtom1988 64 Posted April 3, 2016 Bph is beats per hour 21,600 on most 21js or the eta 2836 is 28,800 same as most gens. You'll see a difference for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pihlippe 1,294 Posted April 3, 2016 You will hardly have a Panerai with quartz movement, but everything depends on how much bucks you want to add in a watch and model. Some quartz models also use the same housing as the high grade models .... Here is a great Pam for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
