When he said he's not sure what kind of movement Panerai placed inside, maybe he's not referring to the caliber's model number (which is easy to determine and not just familiar, but notorious...).
 
Rather, he likely means the movement monkeying Panerai has been up to for some time now. That P.9010 today isn't anywhere near the level it was when launched (check Perezcope's piece on this for a refresher), and the lack of transparency😏 only worsens the situation.
 
Because the caliber of the brand's integrity is in doubt, I for one won't anymore buy a Panerai.  But hey, it's your money; buy whatever you fancy, don't let folks here sway you from a 979 if it's your type! 😉

Thoughts on this one — 979? Others? ...  

I personally like this one! It’s a nice strap monster me think!

I assume if the the watch “hacks” like my current PAM1056 with its p9010 it must have the first generation older, non-monkeyed movement.

Hmm, I'd go easy with the assumptions because I have no idea how the monkeying happened

Maybe the stop seconds were stripped most recently. Perhaps before that finishing/decoration was done away with, probably in phases. Or possibly the spec-down happened all at once. And the cheapening might not be over yet (given the apparent goal of conti...

Don’t let the movement controversy sway you. I have both versions of the 9010 and both run like a top. The hacking is a non-issue as a tiny bit of back pressure on the crown will stop the movement if you insist on precise setting. As for decoration, much ...
