Identity panerai movement

[misterelg]

Hi,

I'm working on a members watch and need to replace third wheel.

I'm trying to identify the movement and not sure if this really is based on the 6497 movement. What do you think?

 

[misterelg]

Anyone?

 

[numero2]

never saw this movement before but it's definitively not based on a 6497.

Hard to tell with it disassembled, especially since it looks to be cosmetically enhanced to look gen.
Any chance you have a pre-disassembled photo?

If it’s a replica P9000 movement it will be an automatic.

 

[misterelg]

I assembled the movement, see the pictures.

Movement is automatic, yes.

Diameter of movement is 30.33mm ( 3.3cm)

See the pictures I attached

Looks like Seagull 2555 or similar.

@misterleg is this my movement from my Panerai that you have stolen and then blocked my number after I paid you?

Are you being serious or joking?

Very serious. I sent four watches to those guy. Been nearly 4 months of back and forth. Paid him nearly 500£ for mods, parts and labour.

Claims he sent my watches back but won't supply a tracking number.

He's then proceeded to block my number.

He comes across as genuine but he's clearly a scammer.

not sure what the mods can do, but have you reached out to one? I think @Raddave is online now. I hate to bother him constantly, but perhaps he can offer some better insite. Most likely he will suggest filing a help desk ticket so all staff can be aware in follow as needed.

Bit rattled at the moment and simmering with rage. I won't let this @misterleg guy get away with this if it means paying him a personal visit or publishing his address on every forum out there. Will reach out to @Raddave first and see. Thanks.

 

[Raddave]

whats going on ?

 

[Rx4Time]

@mandla @misterelg FYI.

First off , how are you sure this is the movement from YOUR watch and not a similar one from a different watch

Well @misterleg is free to confirm or deny. He has blocked my messages and not sent back my Panerai that had that identical movement... Along with three other watches.... And not to add the money I paid for their supposed repairs.

What work exactly was to be done by @misterelg ? Obviously I am not happy at the thought that you may be out several watches, and but you feel worse at this time. This being said may I ask why would you send 4 watches at one time to someone who has as far as I can tell close to zero presence on the form and doesn't appear to be a certified watchsmith from what little I do see of him? Unless you had done multiple repairs in the past with him successfully, or have you done previous business without issue with him? For completeness and transparency you might want to post exactly what you sent him and if you had pictures of the watches as well that may be helpful. Best wishes.

I had done business with him in the past and he has sold and traded a few items on this site. Seemed trustworthy and actually initially sent two watches back albeit with faults so I sent them back to him.
