Who knows which movement this is ?

Very good finishing ? Not bad but not spectacular ? Crap ?

Some engine turning, some chamfering, but nothing spectacular. The engraved writing and timing adjustment hashmarks leaves something to be desired.

and you'll find it in this superb watch !
Concerning the poll, guys this is imo way above the average :-)






A very limited Panerai made in 2005 for the 100th anniversary of Wempe.
125 were made in Steel, only 30 in platinum.

I'll take the A. Lange & Sohne that J.J. has posted. Now that is a movement.

I almost had a movement looking at it.
