Pam005 - How accurate is this movement? Is it swiss?

[BlackSealPanerai]

Hey guys, before I came to know about this forum, I ordered a Pam005N, which of cos I did not know which version, or was it from noob factory or H factory.. and worse not from any TD.. I was told it's swiss movement, which again I was not sure. But glad it reached me safely without being scammed.

That was in November, and today finally after 3 months I opened the caseback. I took some photos, and appreciate if anyone can advise me how accurate is this. Is it swiss? Or just asian unitas? I saw in puretime that this is Pam005N v2 (http://www.puretime.co/product/pam005-n-v2-noob-best-edition-on-black-croco-strap-with-pre-v-hands/). Also noticed the H factory having different design. Sorry for asking such noob questions.. Appreciate your valued advice

Doesn't look like one..

And that's why we have TDs here.

Yeah, glad I came to know this forum.. and know many TDs.. It has become so addictive tracking my purchases that during CNY when all the TDs are on holidays, I feel so uneasy not able to make any purchase, and so started to list what I wanna buy.

hmm so I guess I can confirm that it is an Asian 6497, and maybe more or less confirm it's the noob v2..

The movement is the accurate OPII calibre and is much better than the 005's with a 111 movement so this is a good thing, but its not Swiss.

As long as it runs fine your ok

great.. glad to know it's the more accurate OPII calibre.

I think the text is printed and not engraved and definately not swiss

marlin please consult the Puretime pics it could be engraved... I don't know... I'm not sure... but comming from Noob....

Moreover, thinking they have make an effort to release this new decorated movement it makes no sense to print the inscription IMO.

But all is possible

ALE

Its not Swiss but its a great movement, correct look..one of the smoothest winding and most silent movements ive had (including Swiss ones).And its a high beat so..Even better than any Swiss manual wind really, very good quality movement..Mine is at least..;
