That review was made by Walt Odets about 15 years ago, not James Dowling. Very interesting read. IMO it has little bearing on the fact that the cal XXlX is an untouched, undecorated movement in the 318. The advertising would lead one to believe it's something somewhat special, only for the 318. It's quite evident there is nothing special about it. It certainly is not up to Panerai standards.
