Makes me wonder how does their 7750 based calibres look like underneath.

Also I always wonder how much does it cost to buy a complete 7750 calibre versus one minus the chrono modules. Assuming that both are the same level of finish

By sister do you mean it came off the same base caliber?

My guess is..sister company....within Richemont,....which includes master movement finishers like Lange and  vacheron to name a few...

So the next question that pops up is that I guess Pams in-house is actually Richemont's in-house? Thus not exclusive to one single brand.

It's funny how SA always tout in-house as the selling point but when asked how much of it is in-house, they are stumped. No offense but I think this term "in-house" is just a marketing ploy. It's like proton changing the manifold and side skirt of their car and overnight they are a car "manufacturer"

I agree. Glad I got the PAM00367 which is the remainder of the original 1,500 pieces PAM00366 that was suppose to be issued. Anyway the PAM00366 has a painted dial.

chrisyen,

As far as I know it is engraved onto the rotor. It looks like that because of the 'step' on the rotor. I do know of a German brand that does that.  ;D
