I have already sent an e-mail to Panerai asking for confirmation of the status of the watch's movement and I called the Paris Panerai boutique today and they said that they would get back to me with an answer.
I will keep you posted.
As the watch is now gift wrapped for Xmas, it is a little hard to give it a look.
I told Panerai that could bring it back to the boutique if need be. Thing is they don't know the response to my question either.
Crazy, just crazy.
Best regards,
George
