Hi guys, I'm currently looking for a manual wind super rep Pam.
Just want to find out if Pams from noob factory use A6947 movement by Seagull?
Is it a reliable and durable movement? should I add $170 for the Swiss 6947?

Also I really like the decoration of Pam127's movement (the one with panerai engraving and yellow writing).
Is there any other Pam model with a transparent case back and that style of movement decoration instead of the usual blue writing version on likes of PAM111?

thanks in advance guys

Seagull st36 which I assume is the base for these is very solid. No need for swiss here.

The 6497 is a tank. Easily serviced. It all falls back to which dial you prefer; sandwich or sausage? Sandwich then you go 111, 112, 177, 176. Sausage you go 005, 000. There are some models that use a decorated 6497 like the 372 though it might not be as accurate.

While the PAM183G has the PANERAIPANERAIPANERAI text, the PAM217 has none. It is only platinum plated bridging.

Is there any other model with this style of bridge decoration? I personally prefer luminor case over radiomir.
