perezcope.com/2021/08/08/panerai-in-house-movements-a-pam-of-worms/This is interesting. Panerai was silent initially when they released this and then when pressed on IG claimed it was an in-house movement. If this writer is correct and it's an ETA with a chrono module, and not even an eloroate ETA movement - looks sandblasted, which is odd considering it's in a gold watch with an exhibition caseback - albeit an obscured exhibition caseback.

Very interesting and revealing indeed! Gotta read through the entire article again, there is lots there. Not just because of this article, I am so glad I am through with my Panerai phase.

To me, the big issue was using the P designation for the movement, rather than the OP designation. Since the P was previously only attached to the in-house movements, this became a lie of omission, since they did not say anything in the marketing materials and just let people assume it was an in-house movement. Add to that, the use of a non-elaborate ETA base movement just adds "salt to the wound" when you look at the cost of these watches.

Perezcope busted them before and Instagram even suspended him, for telling the truth. About a year ago he busted the official panerai account for posting fake watches lol.

omg. Never heard of Perezcope. Never seen them on Watchville. Thanks. I'll just enjoy my Dievas 3646 homage to the Rolex (PAM) "Italian Frogman".
