Pam 026K H , I can replace the Unitas ?

[Debellum]

Hello to all

I have a problem before buying a Swiss Unitas wanted to have confirmation from You that are much more experienced than I about Panerai Rep.
I own a Panerai 026K "H" Left-Hand which I broke the mechanism.
A Swiss Unitas comaptibile with this watch ?
That is, I can change it the Chinese Unitas whit an Unitas Swiss ?
I think I read that is compatible with all original parts , so before you buy the Swiss Unitas I wanted to be sure of its compatibility with the 026K version of H.

Many thanks to those who answer them.:cheers:

It should be no problem. At the worst you may need new hands but in most cases everything including the hands will swap onto the new MVT.

this case, usually second hand hole size difference is a problem.

movement swap

Actually Trailboss is correct swapped my asian 6497 with a swiss 6497-2 with no issues , if you decide good choice and good luck.:maty:

You could encounter issues with the hands, as TB said, not because of swapping from Asian to Swiss, but because the watch is from the H-Factory.

What could help is to use the hour wheel and cannon pinion from the H-Factory movement, sa sometimes they're a little larger than the other ones and can fit the hands better.

Be very gentle with the hands, they are of very poor quality.
