Um, what is it? :?

Or were you only referring to the Swiss/swan neck E movement?

You bet we don't...and I for one am glad we don't.

Love the Art DecoCG lever..hilarious!

Shame for the Swiss mov't though, it deserves a much better home :?

The lume that's bled out needs to be removed from the hour hand.

I think its due to an improper install/removal of the hands.. that lume spot coincides with the 'chew' marks on the hour hand...

whoever did the lume job (if not from factory) should be held responsible.. thats just not cool.

I think the point was that it was a swan neck/dagger Swiss E movement. Those are, in fact, getting as rare as hen's teeth. The crown is pretty good, too.

If he's trying to point out the swiss movement.. then why only one pic of it? I'm not even convinced its a swiss? The one movement shot makes it rather hard to see the 'tell' regions I look for.

s o yea

Latest iteration of E-series Swiss ETA 6497-1 mov't, period.

As of now, not available any more, although DSN hinted it may reappear in May/June period again. If you see any go for it, well worth the $$ these days, especialy if you're after Swiss tick-tock engine inside your PAM watch.
