Good article! I must be odd, I have my eye on a Pam and I want the old movement so it can be serviced anywhere!

A bit over simplistic? And the Porsche analogy doesn't stand much scrutiny either- plenty of premium cars have shared engines with "lesser" marques - including Porsche.

rip off most definitely, but con trick?
the info is available if you can be bothered to research it, many couldn't care less in the first place anyway

I would have thought a better analogy would be the different marques from the large groups such as VAG. Lots of models share the same base platform with the main differences being the body work, quality of finish and the badge.
