I have a response on this from Sig. Paci
His response is in near complete disagreement with PoyFR's position on almost everything he wrote concerning the story about the Quorum produced pieces and the P00#'d case backs.
So in this case, you can choose to believe PoyFR's accounts on what he surmised occured or Sig. Paci's account who was there and supervised the project.
It's your choice.

No way Nicolas!
That means depriving us from 8 great arcticles my friend!
I hope they appear (as in a magician's act)
Best amigo.

Well, you know, this is one which I loved a lot. Funny how this old post
Comes into the suirface!
Thanks a lot, Rene, and Best, Hermano.
Nicolas.
Very nice Nicolas .... until ...
Great report and a very nice watch. Love the titnaium with the brown dial.
So I thought this could be one for me.
And here comes the 'until' ... UNTIL I saw the price.
Nice if you bought it in the 1990's but I don't understand the price I saw today ...
Correct, Bruno...This is common with some Legendary Pannies, sadly. [nt]
Great photos and info Nicolas
It is nice to read about the old stuff from panerai and learn as myself is just recently became panerai addict.

The interesting thing is that we
Always learn something, with this Old Stuff, my friend.
It is a pleasure to post and share this kind of watch.
Thanks for your nice words, and Best!
Nicolas

A bientot!

Nice Nico, I regret sadly the time when vendome make this kind of finitions on the move.
Thanks, Malik
Don't know if we have to regret this rough finish, my friend.
I like it, but I am also happy to see the better finish on the same movement, lik on the 127, or even better on the Cali.
What I like on the 125 and on the Cali is that the finish makes the movement look closer to the Rolex Cortebert, and that is GREAT!
Best,
Nicolas
Maybe the better way would be Roug finish with "monogramme" Panerai, for pré-V like, like
And "Cote de Geneve" finish for historical models, like 127, 249, 232, etc...
Btw, the movement finishing on the PAM21 Rolex Cortebert Cal. 618 isn't that good IMO
Looks very raw IMO. I wish the movement were finished much better. Maybe I should ask Voutilainen or Dufour if they could refinish the movement for me 
Cheers,
Anthony
the finition of this Cortebert is not the finition of original movement?? [nt]
What you learnt a such a short time amazes me, okay a few years now ;-) but still

You are unbelievable… to me you are now a near professional expert for sure, and even greater because you are all about information and passion with style and precision ;-)
Without a doubt PAM 21 houses a 618 Rolex which is similar but not like the Panerai vintage pieces. The PAM 21 movements were sources in mid 80’s and solely used by PANERAI for PAM 21.
