My new 6497-2 platinum movement pictures

[timefollower1]

Got my new 6497-2 platinum plated movement and im quite impressed not perfect but much much much better than the norm 6497s i have changed my regulator screw for a longer one from another 6497 so it looks more genuine as these screws are too short anyway id give this movement about 7/10

 

[Mambo]

It looks great ....
Which pam is going to be the lucky one to receive this movement ??

 

[Q5?]

I would wear my watch backwards. :lol:

 

[levelmanroger]

THAT is a beautiful movement!

 

[QinetiQ]

Wow, awesome! Is the text really engraved? Some people tend to say that it is actually painted. What about the color of the bridges? Are they really brighter?

 

[timefollower1]

Yes there engraved and yes bridges are loads brighter massive improvement well worth every penny

 

[Dr.Verylong]

They look a lot brighter to me. Much nicer than what's in my PAMs anyway.

Did I already ask about the source where you got them from?

 

[timefollower1]

Very, very nice, worthy of a open case back pam, these would be wasted on a closed case back.

its shame they are putting on repsites that the new updated V2 pams 177 & 111 etc have platinum bridges but there still low beat movements and i dont think there nothing like this movement which is highbeat and better quality which in my opinion is a little misleading to newbies as these movements are around $110 on there own.

 

[sharrkey]

Probably down to the fact that the factory has bulk bought the low beat movements, most wouldn't notice the beat difference between the high and low.
But yours would look the part in the new 111M

 

[Mambo]

It's a shame that they don't offer this as an upgrade ....
Would prefer this instead of the upgrade croc strap.

[chromed.]

do u happen to have another "normal" mvmt to shot a side by side.?

thanks

 

[timefollower1]

i dont have one apart from a standard 6497 with no engravings il take photo of that it should help

all i can say is believe me this new 6497-2 is much better in person and the old type of movement dont even come close in comparason

 

[chromed.]

indeed it is better.. now, i just wonder if what they said is true tt there is limited stock of this awesome mvmt..

oh, btw, anyone tried swapping this baby into their pams alr.? any probs with CP placement, etc.?

thanks TF for e pics.. rep points for u, my friend
