Interesting info about quality control at Panerai
Paneristi Public Forum: The mysterious PAM318
"Just look at it. This piece of crap can be found in several watches under 500 euro. It's a cheap completely unfinished Unitas and as far as I know it's not even the best unfinished Unitas. These movements come in different grades and this is definitely NOT the best they could buy.
This movement has nothing that makes you think it's a Panerai, no Geneva stripes, no bevelling, NO blued screws, no perlage (under the bridges) , there's not even stamped 'Panerai' on any of the bridges. The drilled holes for screws and jewels look bad and not all of these are just for the looks. Bevelling for example is much more than just a level finishing. bevelling limits the risk of corrosion."

this is why pans are fantastically easy to rep, u can get a swiss unitas movt, or even a copy movt, it will work just as good, and basically replicate almost any of the standard pan watches,
the new inhouse watches the chincs havent sorted out yet, but the non in house movts, are repped perfectly
