If you need to bump all your recent topics its an option to do so in the corner of the page.

Cheers

but when this case is an old standard case, then the right-side lug holes have 1,8 mm diameter.

all handwind pam cases which i have, have a long spindle screw of 1,8mm diameter.

that means, when i want to use the prev double-screw-strap-attachment-system,

then the screw-heads must be 1,75 - 1,78mm diameter.

and when you use the screw-head with 1,6mm, then they don't fit perfectly. they have too much clearance.

rolli

RMC This is the old case, standard i guess

happy days

simply perfect..

wear it well..

rolli

new thread length = 3,6mm ( the case crown-guard screw hole is deep 4,0mm ), the rep screw has 3,0mm thread length.

new round-head = 2,8mm diameter and 1,3mm height.

the slit have to be reworked deeper.

the v-crown-guard screw-holes are a bit smaller in the diameter,

thats why my screws have a head-diameter of 2,8 mm.

Does anybody with a technical mind know exactly what screws are required? I've been having a look at off-the-shelf options, and a 2-56 UNF Fillister screw should do the job - but they come in imperial dimensions, so 3/16" is the closest (4.8mm, which can be cut / filed down). The only problem is specifying the correct head diameter - I think the closest off-the-shelf option is .124" (3.1mm). Has anybody got any ideas, as it should be possible to order 100's for $50 if it is possible to get the specification correct. Sorry to stray off-topic, Rolli

amazing...

he did a mega job.

all characteristics are existing.

even the fixed strap attachment spindles.

and the climax the angelus 8 days movement.

not bad...

rolli

yes, it's very simple.

i've bought a package cylindric-slit-head m2 ( 2,0mm diameter thread ) stainless steel screws with a thread length of 4,0mm.

my watchmaker reworked them as needed to a round-head screw with the necessary new measurements.

new thread length = 3,6mm ( the case crown-guard screw hole is deep 4,0mm ), the rep screw has 3,0mm thread length.

new round-head = 2,8mm diameter and 1,3mm height.

the slit have to be reworked deeper.

very easy to do this.

rolli

Very lucky......nice.

enjoy

rolli

my watchmaker manufactured them.

Rolli, One question I have if you don't mind is where did you source the CG screws from as I have been looking everywhere for these.?

For me once I remove a Panerai crownguard I can never get the screws back in as tight as they were as they are just too fu$$$ng short...Pisses me off every time

Ooh and another beauty watch as well.

hahahaah....why can you say the game is over ????????????

you know the kids need their playground.

rolli

Guys I don't understand why you keep posting useless comments to bump this thread while I have said the issue is over...

THIS Drama is over. If you want a new one make your own

dear friends,

please no further discussions about the numerals / logo shape and size.

i think it's said enough.

nobody on this forum did ever work together with a dial maker,

and made its own experiences with all the complications with vector graphic and design layout.

you can give many image examples or whatever for the correct dial design / layout.

but first you get always a dial with many flaws. and you think by yourself, wow... the dial maker need a large eye glass.

no....it's very hard, and i say very very hard to make the correct design / layout from images with a vector graphic

with illustrator. all other programs are not perfect.

the result is, you have to make many samples and tests together with the dial maker before you get a good result.

and important is the dial maker must have a lot of time for you and for your work. and believe me, thats very expensive.

FGD knows exactly what i mean. he made the same experiences.

we will work together with a reasonable spadework and with a local dial maker. and till we get the first workable solution and result,

please be patient, then we can start a discussion.

rolli

but my taste is when the dial has minimum a good lume power.

rolli

I think that the GEN would have pretty weak lume...no need for good luminosity on this model...

the davidsen dial has a really good luminosity.

rolli

Looks good Rolli. Why not use FGD's dial?

Loving the box

hi all,

here is the 5218-201A logo with dirk pre-vendome great white shark with logo buckle:

details:

case with gen sapphire: andrew,

dial, handset, caseback: davidsen,

crown-guard: v-crown-guard,

crown: t_crown,

movement: gen unitas 6497 with cote de geneve and h3 cannon pinion,

strap: dirk pre-vendome great white shark with logo buckle,

modifications:

original 5218 strap attachment systems, screw/tube system: new manufactured with a tech. drawings by a local fine-mechanic company,

and reworked and adapted to the case-lug holes by my watchmaker,

( i have two original gen 5218 screw/ tube systems as sample )

workings by watchmaker:

crown-guard and lever adapted to the case and crown,

crown-guard and lever polished and then satined,

new crown-guard round-head screws manufactured with a longer thread,

both left case lug-horn threads drilled out to a 1,8mm diameter hole,

sapphire ar coating removed,

small second gear post shortened, dial has no small second,

o-rings greased, tested and adjusted,

enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rolli

i think its a big story.

certainly we are all eager to hear the complete version.

rolli

Fully agree with Stephane . I can understand that you are a bit upset. You belong here and your wealth of information is highly appreciated. Still I am a bit curious m8...like Rolli asked, anything worth sharing to get a better view?

i think it's not clear what has happened.

v... can you say what has really happened ??

can you tell the whole story ??

rolli

what is happened.. v ???
