Looking for a PAM Chrono similar to 1303 Luna Rossa Model

Does anyone know where I can find something similar to PAM Luna Rossa 1303 model? I think only 1000 pieces were made and sold around the world back in 2021. I know a Rep for this one most likely does not exist but if it does, please let me know.

Also since I'm not expecting a PAM1303 to exist, who out there has a nice Chrono version of a PAM in a replica model?

Hello!

You guessed right, PAM1303 was not manufactured by factories.
Also, all modern PANERAI chronographs have P.9100/P.9200 or their modifications, which in any case have chronograph buttons on the left side of the case. Unfortunately, similar movts. are not in the arsenal of factories, but there are quartz chronographs and mechanical movements with other functions and fake buttons. Both won't be exact, but will be cheap, you can look at dhgate.

Quality panerai models with chronographs were only old ones, either based on the 7750 or 7753, including the rattrapante models (Only the PAM213 VSF had a GEN function, all the rest were just ordinary chronographs) and flyback (only the real functionality of conventional chronographs on all models).

In any case, please you in search!

No melody , this one is not.

Movement for flyback models like PAM212 is OP.XIX.
Yes, it's based on the 7750, but it's not functionally, you have to clarify for yourself the essence of the flyback function.
You can easily find the SWISS 7750 on Ebay, but if you find the OP.XIX it will be a fluke and you will be the first one. :)
I can't be 100% sure, but if I'm not mistaken, ETA didn't make this modification from other watch brands, nor did they allow it to be sold publicly. What can I say even OP.VIII with GMT, you will not be able to find it on the free market until now, not to mention the less common ones.

So, for replacement with SWISS, only models based on 7753, with OPXII, fit, such as PAM326, PAM356, PAM250, PAM187 and so on.

no, it's not an op xix, but it is a drop in swiss eta built 7750 and has a fly back function. Its 1500$ and available on ebay now. I believe it's called 7759.

Hmmm. I never heard about a 7759. Maybe you mean the ETA 7770, which has a Rattrapante but no Flyback. Flyback-Modules are afaik as KOT1917 mentioned only available in custom Valjoux-Movements for/from companies like Panerai or Sinn.

Yup you are absolutely correct, the seller on ebay is probably one of those people who thinks that resetting is called flyback. I guess I was combining those listings with some unrelated memory of a different movement's modified versions
