Besides the movement, are there any other differences? Is the quality still there?

Err... no. :)
You will not find a decent Panerai rep with a quartz movement. Dial will be messed up and case will be badly shaped as well.
Besides there's no need of it, PAM reps are generally quite reliable. If you stick with base models like 111 or 390 they are also affordable.

I was specifically looking for a Pam Ferrari California. The only one I see available anymore are the quartz movements. :(

I'm not very much into the ferrari models, but I think if the gen us mechanical a quartz rep will at least suffer from.misplaced subdials.

There are a few Ferrari PAM models that resurfaced a few months ago, but not the Cali. It's a mechanical movement model, not quartz.

Can you tell me what models those are?
