trailboss99 994 Posted June 18, 2010 Stolen from an old RWI post by Crick for your viewing pleasure: Taken from the 2006 Panerai catalogue. Probably the only most notable one of interest is OP XI, which has been repped very very well (with some minor mods). I believe that most of the others are replaced with an Asian or Swiss Valjoux 7750, Asian 21j\'s, Unitas, or other? Panerai Calibre: OP XI: Equipped in Luminors and Radiomirs. 17 jewels, 21600 bph. Notice \"swan-neck\" regulator. Right now there are highly accurate reps (after mods) of these in the Rep World - ie: 111H/177H modded. OP XIV: Equipped in Radiomir 8 Days. 33 jewels, power reserve 8 days, 28800 bph. Notice \"swan-neck\" regulator. *** Notice the 8 day meter is viewable through the back of the watch. is that SWEET or what? OP III: Equipped in Luminor Automatic & Submersible. 21 jewels, 28800 bph. **opVIII (Luminor GMT) and opIX (Power Reserve) not listed. OP XII: Equipped in Luminor Chronos. 27 jewels, 28800 bph. OP XVIII: Equipped in 1950 Rattrapante. 31 jewels, 28800 bph. Double column wheel. OP XIX: Equipped in 1950 Flyback. 30 jewels, 28800 bph. P.2002: Equipped in Luminor 1950 8 Days GMT. Panerai\'s inhouse movement. 21 jewels, 28800 bph. 8 day power reserve with horizontal indicator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TAGster 5 Posted June 18, 2010 What a beautiful movements!! Great pictures. For me is like watching an exotic car engine (I am big fan of sport cars). Thanks for sharing!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AustinTech 0 Posted June 18, 2010 The thing I like about Panerai movements is that they look masculine. Not all super delicate, but manly. Check this thing out - Panerai P 9000 calibre in the 312. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverspeed 10 Posted June 18, 2010 The new inhouse Panerai movements are a huge improvement over the Unitas movements. Imho the hand wound Panerai's with the Unitas movements were heavily overpriced.... And it looks much better... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AustinTech 0 Posted June 18, 2010 Silver, you bastard. Gimme!!! Yes, the base model PAMs are rediculously overpriced. They should be around $1,500, not $4,500. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
