My first Panerai

[peeryus]

Hi all,

I would appreciate some help in identifying the model (if possible) and what the function of small dial on the right is. I have purchased my first Panerai. Was an impulse buy but it really looks good. Pics:

Thanks

PAM 615 is the reference number -- working flyback movement? The 3 o'clock subdial is the hour counter for the chronograph. Or, at least it should be haha.

What's the flyback movement?
Lol the sub dial is always moving and the long thin blue and brown hands are constantly moving like second hands, albeit about 15 seconds of each other. Lume is quite good so far

Do the pushers on the left side work? You'll have to unscrew the ribbed ferrules around them.

No unfortunately they do not work. Saw the review of the 615 here. Has there been an updated gen release?

If all the dials are always moving I bet this is a Seagull movement...how much did you pay for this? And did you pick up in China or somewhere else in Asia? What happens with the upper and lower pusher when pressed?

 

[peeryus]

Paid just about $100 from a guy here who needed the cash. Unfortunately nothing happens when the pushers are pressed. What is supposed to happen?

Wow haven seen a 615 rep and this looks pretty good... although not too sure about the movement. Where did you get this?

 

[hublotkingpower]

So do both subdials at 9 and at 3 move simultaneously?
Or does the subdial at 3 moves simultaneously as the hour hand when you adjust the time?

It seems like the chrono flyback hands seems to work judging from pix

 

[peeryus]

It's the exact model reviewed here https://forum.replica-watch.info/index.php?threads/336832/

The long thin blue hand and the long thin brown hand (I'm guessing these are the chronograph hands) move with the second hand (the subdial at 9). The subdial at 3 moves but much slower than the second hand and yes it does move simultaneously with the hour hand

For $100, I'd say you got more than you paid for. Not perfect but not a complete disaster either.

 

[peeryus]

Yeah it's a good starter watch I reckon. The subdial at 3 moves twice the distance of the minute hand. Not sure what is for.... Does anyone know?

Pretty solid pickup for 100$ as I got the one I used for the review for way more than that.

Fantastic deal for 100
This is one of my favorite gens. I'm hoping now that factories are doing rattrapante complications, that flyback will be next and the PAM615 will soon follow!!!

I am still wondering why the factory repped the rattrapante first than the flyback, being a slightly more complicated movement.

Well the original watch I used for the review was sent to another member but I was able to get another one. So the trio of ceramic bezel PAMs is still here.
