Alternatives to the 6497/8 & 917, 921, 923 ?

Anyone know of alternative pocket watch donor movements for a vintage movement swap other than the usual Unitas & Hamiltons?

all with size 34-37mm
the tickness you can different with the bezel-tickness
the bigger problem is the size for hands
the vintage panerai rep hands is size minute 0,95-1,25mm,hourhand 1,90-2,25mm

Thanks. Trying to find nice vintage movements seems to be getting harder and more expensive all the time. Anyone tried using the Unitas 83-88 series for example?
If I ever get as far as starting a list of ones that work, I'll post it up. 8)
