extremely interesting............ ........... compliment........... two for me.... let us know the price please. rolli

hi garrett, for sure you can use the gold color pvd coating, but it's not a real gold and you know it's the absolute cheapest possibility for a gold color. for a gold color i prefere always the real gold plating procedure. and i have all possibilities to decide the final color and the thickness. my 201 gold was made with a top plating procedure with a basic coating and a thick final 750 fine gold plating, and this is very robust, and looks like a full gold pam. i used a special company for that special thick gold plating process. read the basic page on this topic. rolli

i don't understand your question, please more detailed and precise. rolli

you have to use the distance ring and upper plate which is on top of the asia 7750b1. because the inner measurement of the gmt case is too deep. all gen swiss 7750 and following valjoux movts, also the 7754 have H1 hand-gear-length. but with the asia distance ring you need minimum H5 length. eta build valjoux movts only with H1 length. with H1 length you cannot put the hands on the hand-gears. and you cannot use the asia hand-gears in the swiss 7754. and by the way this makes no sense. forget all mods with rep gmt pams. rolli

no swap possible. no modification possible. you have to keep the asia movt . rolli

i've got mine from sead direct. but my watchmaker did install this CG with my 205A. but with a very small bend-reworking to the 205A case. and he did a little bit drill out the holes and reduced the screw-heads in the diameter for a better scope. with this sead crown-guard i've checked the davidsen 027 case today evening. and no probelm. perfect. rolli

i don't know which kind of sead CG you have, but mine fits with davidsen 027 case. rolli

i've checked it too. result. it fits. rolli

perfect..... top-notch......... Keep it up... rolli

<<<< should we produce this hands also for Unitas and Molnija????? >>>>>> i would say...yes... and the price a bit lower. rolli

5. = rep two points obviously, luminor marina not balanced in the mid under the 12 and between the both markers. the lug-horn shape is a rep shape. and maybe there are more points. rolli

destro = right hander, destro in connection with a pam is a right hander pam, crown-guard on the left side of the pam. pre-v = pre vendome. richemont group had the name before vendome, and as vendome they bought the panerai company, later they changed the name to richemont group. all pam models which were built by original panerai italy are called pre-vendome. 177H / I / J / K = production or release year. = A: 1998, B: 1999, C: 2000, D: 2001, E: 2002, F: 2003, G: 2004, H: 2005, I: 2006, J: 2007, K:2008 see this database: http://www.paneristi.com/reference/sortable_database/millestimation.html rolli

i love the tritium look. it's an real eye catcher. wear them well... congrats........... rolli

swiss made is swiss quality and asia made is asia quality. there is a big difference in terms of material and processing quality. it need no explanation. rolli

then try to get an adapter stem with 0,9mm on both sides. i use always a crown for a 1,2mm stem. it's more safe. a 0,9mm stem is too thin. rolli

for pams with a 28xx serie movement i did use always a adapter stem with a 0,9 mm adapter thread on one side and 1,2mm thread for a palp or t-crown on the other side. rolli

i think the cartel watch maker did copy the valjoux 7751, this one with moonphase etc etc. rolli

i could buy a vanus 175 stem with 1,2mm thread from a local distritbutor, this stem is the right one for the seagul venus 175. i don't know whether you can get this stem also with 0,9 mm thread. i needed the 1,2mm thread stem for the palp crown. note: some members name this movement also lemania. rolli

all his movements in the auto and gmt pams are the old asia 7750b1. rolli

with the cartel ultimate automatic pams there is no problem to swap a swiss 7750. the asia 7750 have the same measurements like the gen 7750. the inner mesuremets of the cases are perfect for the swiss 7750. my watchmaker did it with the 229 firenze. perfect result. submersible pams like the 24 is also to use for this swap. also here my watchmaker did it with my 024A submersible. and with the 253 he did this modification, perfect result. davidsen auto pams. davidsen uses the old asia 7750b1 movement for his standard automatic pams like 104, 164, 240, 165, 091. this old asia movement is taller in the measurement and has the ugly distance ring on top, no swap possibility and sunken date wheel. otherwise you would use the longer asia gears, but this is not to recommend. you don't have the presise swiss technology effect. only the new power reserve models 027,028 have a gen swiss movement inside. rolli

i have two vajoux 7754 gmt movements in my stock. two years ago i had the same idea to built-in this movement in one of my gmt pam. but it's not possible. the gmt rep pams have inside the old asia7750b1 movement. it has a taller measurement as the gen ones and the inner measurements of the cases are deeper constructed. the asia7750b1 have on top an additional ring, that's why also the date wheel is sunken. so my watchmaker thought to use and to install the asia upper metal-plate with the distance-ring on the swiss 7754. result, it did fit. but all swiss hand gears are too short, because the asia upper-plate with distance-ring together with the swiss 7754 has the asia measurement for the gmt case, but too tall for the shorter swiss hand gears. to use the asia hand gears in the 7754 is not recommendable. then you don't have the swiss effect anymore. some talkings with the eta production chief brought the result, there is no possiblity to get longer hand gears for the 7754 gmt movement. eta produce the 7754 only with h1 hand gear length. for a special custom order the quantity has to be minimum 10.000 sets. so for me this gmt project to swap a 7754 was dead. ca. 6 weeks ago i've started a second attempt to get information about the new asia ultimate gmt cases in terms of the inner measurements. in connection with precious time i started the request direct to the maker of the ultimate gmt pams. also a technical drawing was sent to the maker to get this information about the inner measurements. the result, same old measurements which is too deep for the swiss 7754 gmt. so also the new attempt was dead. rolli

the last serie of davidsen 001 dial. i thought it's also good enough for the 040. rolli

the 040 caseback is from davidsen. i know the serial numbers are wrong for this 040 model. i had no plan to make a new caseback with correct serial numbers. maybe later. rolli
