Special Asian Panerai Calibre OP XI movements

[undercoverz]

Stumbled across this unique batch of movements recently. Limited production, specially made. Some interesting improvement from KW or ZF's mimicry towards the genuine movement.

Here are some main differences:

If you look close enough, the gen movements are decorated with CDG like, wavy finish like this one:

Or

These types of finish are yet achieved with current mainstream rep movements.

Check out this special batch:

Wavy finish

Strong sunburst effect

Other points to note:

The bridges are much better beveled than KW or ZF.

Dagger regulator has the same thickness as the swan neck.

The +1111111- engravings on the balance wheel bridge is in the right position, unlike KW's.

The shape of the swan neck is not bad. Although some further modding are required to be sure.

Where does one acquire these movements?

One of the major watch markets in southern China, where most of rep watches are distributed.

the finish on the rep bridges are too coarse, it makes it look more like a fingerprint instead of a sunburst effect.

New kw movement in Pam127 has very beautiful sunburst effect.

I could admit that rep (KW) sunburst could have more marked beams but NEVER COARSE, and the sunburst effect is really nice and elegant

I meant in the pictures of the new movement that OP shows, especially the first picture of the movement.

These same batch of movements are later found on the new KW 127s
