A lot of watch owners wont give two shits about the tiny mechanics. A lot, again, might, if they are carfags or otherwise interested in gizmos of any sort. To the average spouse picking a christmas present, "automatic" will only be a buzzword that the storewhore laid on them as they "came back into fashion". Otherwise they will pick a japanese titanium quartz that needs at best a battery change every 4 years and be done with it for practical purposes, or they think non-battery powerded watches are old shit that always needs upkeep.
Or be like other people out of the know and just going for what THEY think looks good, or going with whatever with a familiar name within their price range (Tissot).

If you like the microengineering behind a mechanical piece, it is a crying shame of ever getting one with a solid caseback. Yes, non-finished industrial movements can be downright disgusting, but if moving gears and springs and bits are your thing, you will find joy in any workhorse.

Panerai have the sexiest movements.

Special edition Panerai movement.

I'm not sure if it was Panerai , was there a watch company that release a watch that was actually a special custom order on general sale ? I'd be pissed off if I paid for a one off piece and found they took the design and just sold it so everyone had one

The white dial Panerai look pretty sweet though.

Both of you missed my point entirely. Sure, high tier mechanicals are amazing, and art like you said, but a basic miyota, seiko, eta, sellita (can also be had for thousands) are just as industrially boring like a quartz. Can they be made more interesting and better? Absolutely, but any entry movement is ass.

They think this is a good enough movement for a limited edition watch they sold for thousands of dollars. A seiko 5 has better finishing.

It sure is :^)

Yeah, that's why pawn shops and pre-owned watch dealers won't take them without full paperwork, since those massive shitters are so goddamn easy to fake. Jesus, imaging defending Panerai of all fucking brands. Fuck off, shitter shill.

>>13957837
The fakes are probably better finished, look at the movement they put in an $8.5k watch.

Is it because you saw a movement pic?

>>13619979
Yes those Panerai movements are just grea-
