Yes, Anthony
I'm referring to how this ETA movement has roots back to the Rolex Cortebert movement...Look at these 2 movements, they are pretty close designed...And even closer when you see the Cali movement, which is the same base than the ETA/Unitas of the 36 and the pre v...

A quick review of the Pam 36, Marina Militare
The Pam 36 is one of the legend Vendome watches, with some few others like the 40, the 21, the Pre A 1,2,4,9, and the Mare 6,7 and 8. This watch has an interesting story. When Panerai Firenze was sold th Vendome, in March 1997, the Cartier Vendome group r...
Another deep report

It may even be more interesting Richard,
a good friend, Konrad, suggested the following scenario - Cortebert was taken over by Omega in the 70's, Omega is Swatch and so is ETA/Unitas..... Not sure if the timeline fits in, but a nice theory that Unitas 6498 and derivatives, is a reworked Rolex/Co...
Wonderful report.
Very in-depth report of the 36....and also some knowledge sharing on the PAM82 and PAM217. The 36 is always the grail to me as it's got everything I love....the titanium case, brown dial, sub-seconds, tritium indexes, see-through caseback, and the "Marina...
