    Seems to be water under the bridge, as Panerai has offered to replace the movements FOC for 318 owners should they wish to do so. Even then, some damage has been done.
    My madness so far :

    Bell & Ross BR03-94 Phantom
    IWC 320104 Antoine de St Exupery Power Reserve - For Sale
    IWC 371701 Pilot's Chronograph
    IWC 500401 Big Pilot
    PAM26K Luminor Marina Left-handed Special Edition
    PAM233K Luminor 1950 8 Days GMT
    PAM190H Radiomir 8 Days

      Indeed, makes one wonder why Panerai will put a working movement, but not finished to the expected standards into the watch in the first place?
      It is a PR nightmare. Will it make us think twice bout buying another Pam that does not come with a see thru case back???

        Highly doubt it. Panerai has such a strong cult following that it'll take more than this to make people think twice about buying a Pam.

          Pam 318 is now collectors' item due to the controversy.

            You forgot to add that it's the one with the unfinished movement!

              Yes I predicted it was to be a collectors item (for the wrong reasons) and was hoping someone would want to offload it below retail price.

                  Swap the old movement with panerai service centre for now...

                  The current one in the 318 can be easily sourced...unadorned and undecorated ETA 6497 are a dime a dozen..hehehehe....

                        well the retail price of 390 is definitely cheaper as compared to the asking price of 318 now. plus the 390 comes with gold hands, brown dial, bigger SE box n scroll, the choice is pretty clear right? yes 390 it is.............
