Base Luminor case with in house movement possibility

i prefer the base luminor case as it has a much better fit on my wrist

i wonder what the appetite would be for an in house movement in a Bettarini case, but with continuing the same dial appearance as the 000,112,111 etc

an in house movement would increase the power reserve and feel a little smoother/little more efficient to wind, plus the nicer movement/display caseback.

of course the cost of the watch would increase

what are peoples thoughts on this?

will Panerai move to an all in-house lineup as per Rolex, or will the ETA remain king on its historical luminor models?

I expect this will happen eventually, especially with Swatch limiting/stopping supplies to companies outside of the group. Panerai's P.999 calibre could fit the bill nicely, or perhaps a new calibre

Hmmm... I'm perfectly happy with that OP decorated movement in my 111.
