the text font on that "vintage case back" looks remarkably like Davidsens....

Finepics, how about cal. 526? I found a pocket watch that is about 51-52mm diameter and has the 526.

would a Cal 677 movement be appropiate for a homage watch ???

which movements were in these origianl PAMs ?

and with the amount of radioactive Lume on there it'll probably do a good job of browning your sasuages too !!

hey guys...

I remember reading a great article on creating a vintage leather strap from a new one...

bleaching, sanding etc...

however have been searching both here and on TRC however can't seem to locate it...

Anyone know the one ?? Please excuse my blindness if its blatantly obvious where the thread is....

much apprecaited

i've been a little unlucky with this lately, every watch i've purchased has had this issue...

Is it something that can be fixed ??

I've just recieved a 1950 from Davidsen, and it initally looks like a great piece. I'll get some images and do a review soon...

However, my question is quite generic, but relates to a few PAM watches i've purchased recently and I'd be interested in getting your feedback...

When winding a PAM (which has a crown guard), do you find that the crown itself is not aligned correctly. As such, when you do wind, the crown moves in and out by a few mm's.

so rather than being at 90 degrees, its at a small angle....

-/ instead of -|

is this typical of all PAM reps or is it just the few that i've recently purchased ??

You need to keep your eyes out for his offers...they are not cheap because of the labor he puts into these watches and the custom made parts (or genuine) he uses.

Thanks XRT, I certianly will, this is a fantastic piece . Where does WM post his offers ?

Please could you PM me if its not suitable to divulge the info on the forum.

Cheers

wow !!

i guess these are not for sale ??

great post davidsen

important considerations :

- 1:1 case

- correct crown and guard.

- good operation on guard lever.

- Super Lume dial & hands (or at least offer as an optional extra)

- correct hands

- no recessed pin

- sapphire front and back

- correct AR

- movement reliability (offer a full server as an optional extra)

- nicely engraved movement. Stick on plates are not good. (the recent 127s engraving were dreadful !!)

- functional swan neck

- high quality control (i've just return a watch to a dealer as there were several issues, including bits of loose metal in the mechanism and inside the front

- correct and high quality papers

- PAM box as optional extra ??

- maybe offer without the strap... everyone replaces the strap, so little point in supplying one. (make one available as an extra)

Davidsen, I've been following the work that you've been doing for some time now and its very impressive. Its great that you ask for feedback.

I guess the real selling point of any replica is its resemblance to the original, the closer you get, the more demand there will be, espically for popular models.

I'm very intersted in getting a 127 from you, however not sure i would purchase one that had stick on plates, thats a really big negative.

Sorry for a very nieve question, however what/where is TRC ?

Cheers

ahhh... just realised what a stoopid question that was.....

ExWatchmaster is the creator. As of recently he only shows select items on TRC having had some bad experiences with others on the forums. Buy one and you are hooked. He is a fabulous guy but rightfully shy.

Sorry for a very nieve question, however what/where is TRC ?
