  4. Swiss Pam111 - Seconds Sweep?

    in The Panerai Area

    Posted

    The swiss (low beat) 6497 runs with 18.800 bph, the high beat asian version with 21.600 bph like the gen. If you compare this with the 28.800bph of an ETA 2428-II you know what to expect. If you devide these numbers by 3600 you get the steps the second hand will do per second.

  6. Hell no! My watch didn't make it...

    Today I got a letter from Fedex which I will copy (and translate here):

    Geachte heer,

    Via onze klantenservice ontving ik het verzoek u een email te sturen met de benodigdheden voor inklaring van bovengenoemde zending.

    Wij willen graag het volgende van u weten:

    1 ) is het horloge door u ter reparatie naar Bahrain gestuurd en komt deze nu terug?

    2 ) bent u op vakantie / voor zaken naar Bahrain geweest en heeft u uw horloge vergeten en wordt deze nu nagestuurd?

    Wanneer de zending ter reparatie in Bahrain is geweest willen wij weten of u de zending ter reparatie tijdelijk heeft laten uitvoeren. Is dit

    het geval dan kunnen wij wanneer u de tijdelijke uitvoerdocumenten heeft, een verzoek om vrijstelling doen voor BTW- en invoerrechten

    bij wederinvoer. Wanneer de zending definitief is uitgevoerd dient u gewoon bij wederinvoer BTW- en invoerrechten te betalen.

    Wanneer het gaat om nagezonden reizigersbagage kunnen wij met een kopie van uw vliegticket en paspoort vrijstelling vragen voor de

    betaling van BTW- en invoerrechten.

    Kunt u ons svp laten weten wat het verhaal is achter uw zending?

    Ik vertrouw erop u hiermee voorlopig voldoende te hebben geinformeerd. Gelieve uw reactie te richten aan nl-import@fedex.com

    Met vriendelijke groet,

    FedEx Express EMEA Northern Europe

    Dear sir,

    We would like to know the following from you:

    1) Has the watch been sent for repair to Bahrain and has this watch now been sent back?

    2) Have you been on vacation to Bahrain and did you forget the watch?

    If it's the second then a copy of your passport is enough.

    If it's the first, then there are two options:

    Was the repair temporarily (I don't understand this)?? If so all you need is a prove of export, so a prove that you have shipped the watch to Bahrain.

    But if the repair was permanent then you will need to pay duty tax + normal tax (19%).

    Please let us know as soon as possible,

    Fedex

    What would you advice me to replay? Please!

    The question concerning the nature of the repair is: Was the watch fixed (balance wheel blocked due to bad oiling) or was something replaced that added value to the watch (new movement for example). In case something expensive has been replaced they would ask tax on the replacement part and related work (new movement)

    Just tell them you don

  7. Rep Travel

    in General Discussion

    I was traveling from geneva to berlin, and custom took my watch from the wrist, that the story , now i will never travel with replicas

    Oh, what went wrong? I read on the german customs website that you are officially tolerated to import one replica watch (value limit for that is 175€) personally when coming into country...

    PAM 111H (stainless steel with sandwich dial and small second at 9) and basic asian movement (CDG decoration and OP XI bridges, but missing swan neck).

    Crown and crown guard are as nice as they

  12. Help me pick one PAM, please.....

    in The Panerai Area

    Posted · Edited by Fish

    @Fish :: Wow, is it really not exist?

    So please take the sandwich dial out of the spec .

    Thank you for help.

    @fitmic :: Thank you.

    BTW, I visited Josh site and found PAM < $110 with totally wrong movement but it interested me as it has solid caseback.

    Here it is.

    If I really interested in the look on the upper side, Will it be my good choice? Or I should go for something else?

    - Wrong movement, do not care.

    - Straps will be changed later.

    - AR, do not care.

    - Caseback is solid. Detail, do not care.

    - but from the pics, it has cannon pin fixes though !!

    Thank you.

    With the automatic movement it does not need a cannon pin fixas the dimensions of the canon pin is different from a basic 6497. The hands wont fit on a 6497 movement. Maybe you can ask Joshua if that case would take a 6497 movement as well if you use a different crown, just in case you want to upgrade it later.

    Everything else is just fine for a budget version. The lever is not completely locked on the picture, but i think it will be possible.

    However, I would prefer to pay a few bucks more and chose a Unitas6497-type movement, no matter if asian or swiss.

    Check Joshua or Andrew, correct prices, nice quality, very reliable dealers! Both highly recomended!

    But I strongly recommend to decide between closed caseback and sandwich dial, there is no gen Pam that has both so if you find this on a rep its a fantasy watch.

  17. CG dimensions needed for design work (non DSN PAMs historic series)

    MODEM BURNER WARNING , will remove if required

    Sorry Fish I don't have an electronic ruler.

    These might be useful if you can get the scale right.

    Hope they help, and good luck with your quest

    ST

    Thank you ST, niche drawings, but rather decorative. I took the required dimensions from a Joshua PAM and just want to find out if others are close to these dimensions to make sure that part will fit most PAM reps without or with only minor further corrections to CG lever od gasket thickness.

    Come on fellows, I am sure I

  21. Buckle Question

    in The Panerai Area

    Posted · Edited by Fish

    From A to G series the thumbnail buckle was standard, except for the 005 which started with the G-series.From H onwards it was the Pre-V style buckle.

    But many PAM-fans chose the Pre-V or similar since there is much more choice with straps in 24/24.
