Comparison btw. Panerai Luminor Ref. 5218-201/A and 5218-209

Sorry folks! Problem of pics sharing. Here they are!

All of the above plus the 201a case has double lug screws while the 209 came with single screw

This is mine one that I finished the other day.

Since I didn’t know much about the Luminor 5218 I made a mistake when I ordered a display caseback from Kp0y. The reason why I wanted to have it was the embedded PAM movement


In the meantime I ordered the appropriate caseback from Kp0y which should arrive in the next days.

Now I hope everything should be as it should be.
Maybe I‘ll change the movement into a UNITAS 6497 and then I can use the already embedded one in one of the upcoming builds…
Any recommendations from your end?

Nice!
Close case back is a must Indeed!

Nice. The photos really show the subtle comparison. I prefer a shiny finish.

Not all 209s had a flat CG. Pic from the original risti site.
