thats the point,not so much the movement is without decoration but watches over the years though, have a history of going the extra mile to make the insde look as good as the out,ETA movements come in about 5 different grades,the price from the bottom grade to the top is not that far apart,it seems Panerai has chosen to put the bottom grade into these,which mean no cosc,less PR etc,an extra $100 to buy the better ETA movement seems a small price to pay for Panerai,add to that the fact these were a limited edition and were sold as having a special movement,it makes using this movement all the more strange.
