I’ve only read about consistency issues. Fast or slow depending on PR. 6497 isn’t a stellar movement. It needs service more often than a Rolex 3135 for example, but it is fairly rugged and easy/cheap to service. I’ve owned many and they have treated me well. I’ve never owned an in house Panerai but have known many who have. Some had zero issues, others it seems when there is a problem, it seems hard to fix.
