Based on the pictures I have seen panerai did you the incastar movement as well. But only in the big egi from what I've seen. That being said old parts seem to have been used all the time in those days. I wouldnt be surprised if there are 6152s or WLs out there that had an old surplus incastar movement put into them during servicing. Or an egi had a newer movement swapped in and then the inca star that was removed was later serviced and reused when another watch came for servicing.Yoda wrote: ↑November 20th, 2019, 12:02 pmNo, but I assume that incabloc is the one people are looking for as it was used by P*****i.thelonedoc wrote: ↑November 20th, 2019, 11:29 amIs one better than the other?
Why would incastar be present on the earliest panerai model equipped with 240s (egi) and then be done away with on later models?
I have too many questions hehe...
Incastar came 1948/1949 and the new barrel plate pattern came 1655/1956, so a personal guess is that this particular movement was issued 1955/1956 or later.
This is at least how I am justifying that my inca star movment belongs in the WL build I am working on. The WL was a bit of a mish mosh collaboration of old and new parts so I feel like it would be more believable to find the inca star in that watch than my 6152 project. The 6152 gets the inca bloc since the nightwatch dial and case are about as close to a 1:1 recreation as it gets so the most accurate movment will live in there.
I am a chronic over thinker...
And a thread derailer... sorry guys...
perhaps we are misssing something
