Think the PAM80 is finally getting the attention that she long deserves!
Radiomir Independent in white gold sold from a recent auction for an amount in excess of the 2003 list price. In my opinion this is great justice to a piece with very interesting and rare complication. Obviously given the 42mm case size it might have fallen out of love for big watch lovers. For me this is one of the great complication that's hardly seen from other brands, let alone Panerai. The chezard movement viewed thru the magnifier on the caseback crystal is a truely remarkable.

Is the best part of the movement right underneath the magnifier?
I am just wondering why did they put the magnifier at that specific location on the see-through caseback?
That's the part responsible for the.....
...jumping second, aka "dead second". Hi, the base movement is made by Chezard - a company long gone - and they had two versions of dead second movements. IIRC this is the later version. The pinion you see through the magnifier is sliding sideways a tiny ...
Pinions for non-watchmakers
The current Mrs MTF tells me that a pinion is: usually the smallest gear in a gear drive train. OR a smaller gear that drives in a 90-degree angle towards a crown gear in a differential drive. I think she reads books Regards, MTF PS. If the drive train on...
