Please help me understand

Hi all,

Could you please help me understand what exactly is a swan neck? I thought it was a 6497 mechanism with a "swan like" bridge.

The reason I'm asking is that I am ready to place an order for a PAM111 and some of the offers I got included a "no swan neck" mechanism.

 

Thanks,

Eran

Look for the common part in the pics below:

This is a swan-neck regulator (albeit this particular one isn't from a Panerai...).

People are nuts about the swan neck. I don't understand it's mystique.

It's only that the gen PAMs have 'em...

 

Where the swan-neck reg is functional (it isn't always), it does make ultra-fine adjustment that bit easier, so they tell me, but there's no real benefit to the end user...

here, here, AT----sead talked me into one and I don't have the slightest damn clue what it's for or how to use it. <_<

It sounds pretty...a soft *white* swan neck...ahhh

 

And environmentally friendly, also!
