Really, I bought two from B9A.......Both excellent transactions, and watches. I hated to see him go.

It might be a case where he had to many irons in the fire, then throw in an auto accident, wamo

Someone here reckons there was no car accident, they must know these guys very well, seems that they have all the information and Brand 9 are just useless and are therefore no longer mentioned here.

I believe that it's just a mix up and hope that B9 Will make good on it.
They have been very polite with me and helpful but, cumminacation has been rough since Kevin had his accident.
Lets hope the watch gets sent out and they do the right thing so this can all be cleared up fast.

That's exactly it.....why are we now a kangaroo court especially after the long discussion about the fab cartel?

guys what is the name of this movement with all the engravings on it?

Also how accurate is it to the gen?

I am doing all the research right now for my first Panerai and I dont like the fact that the font is so off on the H series... I prefer a sandwich dial but I would rather get this painted dial if the movement is accurate and then have someone mod it...

quick question. Is it possible to put the correct solid caseback on it so it will be like the 001?
Because I find the engravings on this movement to not even be close to the gen.

Not the best E-series OP XI mov't in that 111F, although a nice example of 'old-school' historic PAM rep.

enjoy it mate,

haha thanks Jiro. Not as fun to go with the gen anymore.

Yea the movement bothers me as it does A LOT of other people as well... It's just too easy of a tell. Especially when a better Panerai rep can be obtained, I want to get the most accurate one :) Don't see anything wrong with that.

As you mentioned, cool thing about 001 is that noone gets to see your movement :) so you don't need a fancy, expensive movement. The accurate movement, though, is below:

I borrowed the movement pic from Ruby's 036, but it's the same for 1B - OPII.
