Replacement 6497 movement "E" type style? Where to buy?

[b_hack]

I am looking for either an Asian or Swiss ETA 6497 movement for the hand winder PAMs. Specifically, I'm looking for the E type with the word Panerai plastered all over the back of the watch. Where can I find this movement?

TIA

Check with Time4Direct. He may be able to source an E mvt for you.

I found the post showing the sale of movements...

I see E type movements for, gasp, 280.00... Hmmmmmm.

So I am in the process of buying the 172 with the broken movement from Kye_Lin.

Can I franken the proper movement by taking a 90 dollar movement, removing the brushed decoration, and replacing it with the engraved decoration from his broken movement?

TIA

BTW Thx for the heads up on the 172.

What are the differences between these two movements?

The Josh version looks quite a bit different.... The Canon pin appears to be absent.???? I was going to buy one of these two to replace the movement on my inbound 272. Obviously 150 is better than 230 but I want to make I purchase the correct replacement.

TIA

I would check with Davidsen or Angus.

how come those movements are engraved ETA when they are clearly not?
