Help identify Pam 253 movement

[bono10]

Hi All

I have a panerai 253 that I bought few years ago from a member here.

The movement don't have any markings on it besides a small marking that sais 25 jewels. No panerai markings on the movement at all. Also on the back Case there is no marking about the special watch number as it a special edition ( like 1/ 500 ) ect. The second chronograph hand is very light Blue that can be seen only from a specific angle. The chronograph works perfectly.

Anyone can put some light aboythe movement and the factory is was produced.

Thanks in advance.

It appears to be a A7750.

A7750 and not a 253, but a 212.

Hi

Thanks but it's 253. The Dial have spots on like the 253

You mean hobnail, true. The case back reads OP6640…that’s what’s throwing me off. Disregard.

A7750!

Do you know which factory did it since the movement have no markings at all?

Take a look at this:

Pam 253 : Id and restore

Hello Pam freaks, In my neverending search of a Regatta, I just stumbled on this one in M2M on a sister forum. Without much infos about its origins and despite it's in an obvious used condition, I gave it a try and got it this morning. I'm not too aware of the different factories and versions...

PAM 253 Comparison Review

Ok, So this watch has definitely always needed a definitive review about the different versions. I've had this watch since May 2007 and it's by far my favorite watch despite it's inaccuracies. The watch is both loved and hated by Paneristis for it's "non-traditional" panerai design, hobnail dial ...

It's an older / lower grade 253 rep - probably picked up in a market somewhere 15 years ago. The 253 dial is more commonly referred to as a 'waffle' design - the hobnail dials are reversed. Here's an 028 for an example:



Take / post a clear picture where the rotor isn't obscuring the balance wheel...

A7750. There is a gear train to move the chronograph minutes counter to 3 o'clock position, so not a standard 7750. Yours is an older no name factory version, not an H factory which was considered the best version. You should have the existing movement serviced as finding a new drop in will be difficult should an issue arise .

Yep, agree with the boys above. This is an A7750.

Everyone is saying A7750, though it looks like a Swiss/ETA 7750 to me.... I'm not aware of every Chinese 7750 but I have not seen one with the ETA stamp under the balance wheel.

Perhaps the original A7750 took a dump and a previous owner swapped in the ETA7750.
