Exactly, this has to with the coating of the movement - not the movement itself...

This is something that I've heard, I may be wrong.

Here are some more photos that I took at the SIHH in Geneva. The ceramic 335 is a new ceramic watch that was introduced this year. The watch is basically a PAM270 in a ceramic case. Because Panerai had many problems with the PVD coated case back of the 31...
