Thx Newton and Devin....but I'm not holding my breath on the movement..kind of have the feeling it will be "hit" or "miss"..but some owners have found them to be quite accurate though..we shall see...but for $100..had to give it a shot!! Last edited on Tue Jan 17th, 2012 01:54 pm by Antoine1966 |

This is a no-brainer. I have a couple of pieces with those movements, and they work very well indeed. Enjoy! |

Just to chime in... I have the PVD version of yours; I have had it for a couple of years and although I don't wear it often it is always good to go when I do. Congrats Buddy! ![]() |

Can't beat 'em for the price & accuracy is pretty dead on too.I purchased 1 b4 buying my 1st Panerai-just too make sure of the size & fit & I still have it,it sits in my winder but whenever I do look @ it it's right on the money.Mine came on a pretty well made strap as well-the watch was free in my eyes. CONGRATS Antoine |
