Small note from me:

Please no suspicious "backdoor selling"-thoughts. I could personally not help him via PM with price informations and recommended him to ask here.

I'm confused. Are you asking how much the movement would cost or how much the entire watch would cost?

Sorry.
The entire watches.

And I want to know how to call the movements.

The movement in your pictures is an Asian copy of the ETA 6497-2 which is the movement used in genuine Panerai watches (all the custom work to modify the genuine movements is done by SOPROD). A rep with that movement should be somewhere around 180.00 to 250.00. Hope that helps a little.

Yep, that's an Asian 6497 with Cotes de Geneve decoration and a swan neck regulator. Although the regulator in the picture is the "needle" style and the gen movements use a dagger shaped regulator. There are lots of Asian 6497 powered reps that have the more correct dagger style regulator, FYI. Have a look in our dealers sections you should see lots of PAM111s like this to compare pricing.

...also known as "hybrid", "Chiss" or "Swasian" with specific base plate design used on older ETA mov'ts. Notice the single screw attached pallet ?! Tons of stuff has been written about this mov't (it all started some year or so ago by Ziggy on RWG) although the E-series version with "ERAIPANERAIPAN" decorated bridges. This is the same mov't, just wit H-series CDG bridges and sligthly different reg needle.
This mov't also comes with dial release screws on the side of the base plate, rather than in between the bridges on the underside.

The base plate is also correctly engraved in "old" ETA style, with additional numbers and lettering to the standard ETA logo, that initially confused many of us.

It's a good mov't though, but deffo not Swiss ETA per se.

cheers,
babola

Thank you for the answers.

Perhaps do didn´t see there are two different movements.
Are they both called Asian copy of the ETA 6497-2?

And a happy new year to all!!!

The first movement appears to be 100% Asian 6497. The 2nd movement, as babola kindly pointed out, is part Swiss, part Asian.

Sorry, I didn't notice that there were 2 different movements pictured.
