-

-

Thanks Capt.
-
nice pics
-
i think my wrists are the same as well. here is my wrist pic with PAM111 and Hublot Big Bang.

Anyone knows a good watchsmiths in Sydney Australia?
-
hahahh thanks Wimpie007, I've managed to fix the thingy ,
about the serial = i also didnt know why i do that.
i just often saw people hide their serials.
so I thought its a custom, "if you post a pic, you need to hide your serial"
anyway, will not alter anything next time

Just received my Hublot Big Bang all black ceramic from puretime. []http://puretimewatch.com/product/big-bang-44mm-full-ceramic-evolution-black-magic-on-gummy-strap-hub4104/]
this watch looks solid.
i thought it will be light weight, consider the material is ceramic, but its heavy, and the Ceramic quality is wonderful.
i knocked it gently with my finger nails and it feels rock solid. not cheap ceramic.
I wear it side by side with PAM111 for your comparison.
by the way, i've managed to open the back case, and found out the O-Ring rubber is dry [ as usual... all these reps are always have dry O Ring rubber]
so I greased it properly, and i think its ready to rock and roll !
And let the pics tell the rest =

i always thinking to buy FM next time. but always in doubt.
after looking at your pics... made me feel i NEED to buy 1 now! hahahah... nice piece.
-
Not sure of its the angle or lighting, but the rep looks like more mustard-ish to me.
-
yep, the Kingshowbox one is 28800 bph. the latest one.
-
looks like your chrono is broken.
once you stop the chrono, then press the RESET button on 4", all of them will reset to Zero.
Contact your dealer regarding this.
-
I always bought mine from Kingshowbox and Puretimewatch.
both are reputable dealer.
and i think the hublots are from the same factory/source.
-
cant see the pics.
pictures has exceed bandwith
-
my Panerai PAMM177 also arrived with loose backcase - looks like all these watch only finger tightened .
and when I checked the O-Ring Rubber inside, its dirty and dry ! [even my old Casio has lubricant on the o-ring rubber]
i need to wash it, then lube it with special lubricant.

Hi RCKH,
nice photoshots!
my next buy is this watch actually.
But, i only concern about 1 thing, if it fails, or need cleaning/oil change later, who will be able to do this ?
I'm sure if i ask local watch-smiths in Sydney, they wont be able to do it.
-
i got my PAM111 strap from BOB as well.
his website is waccex.de
-
is the lume good already?
any lume shots ?
-
very nice... this gonna be my next purchase

Since the crown is spring-loaded, ....
yes! you are right.
I've been non-stop trying to push+turn as Ugoderosa said, but still no result until now
its soooo smooth, and i can't feel anything. it seems like "loose" . no gear at all.
But I noticed that everytime I pushed..I can feel a tiny force pushing the crown back to me.
And if I leave it. the spring push the crown away from the Case about 1 mm.
and I think there must be something wrong with the spring, that prevent the crown to reach the "CLICK" state.
Anyway, I've contacted my dealer, she asked me to send it back to her, and she will look after it for me.
i'll send it tomorrow.

I have several 6497 pams and some have the same issue you are describing (although my 177 does not have this problem). Some of the more senior pam people on this forum may have better solutions, but what I do is turn the crown slightly while pressing the crown into the case. It usually takes several tries, but eventually it will click back into the winding mode. It helps to do this action very slowly. If it does not work after a few tries, try turning the crown slowly in the other direction while slowly pushing the crown to the case. The key on my 6497's with this issue is to do it slowly.
Thanks Ugoderosa.
I 've tried few times, turn the crown slightly while pushing... but still no result.
maybe i need to be more slowly.... i'll keep trying.
-
With the crown pushed in, have you tried to close the lever to see if it clicks to the winding position?
You could also try to pull the crown out and then push it in very hard with both your index fingers, one above and one below the CG in order to keep the force symmetric. If that does not work, then solving the problem may get more complicated possibly involving the crown gasket, the position of the crown on the stem, and possibly the tube.
Yes, i've tried to close the Lever . it didn't make any clicks.
and
Yes, I always push it with 2 fingers, to keep the force symetric.
-
Sorry, what i mean with the "click" is = I didnt hear+feel the normal "Click" sound.
it just a Smooth Push.
PAM 320 GMT [pics]
in The Panerai Area
Posted
Just bought this from Puretime. eventhough its not a 1:1 or Noob creation, its still really good one.
Embed "REG TM " on CG is not as deep as the genuine one. [i dont have the genuine, but i have seen one]
AR = acceptable
Stainless steel 316F = very shiny
GMT = is a "faux" one. as per ByTHOR review on other page in this forum for rolex/ omega, this GMT is not the one which stick to your hour hand - giving you the Dual Time .
But this is the one which only move 1/2 hour , every 1 hour.
so the GMT hand only moves 12 hours [complete turn] for 24 real hours .
perhaps Asian 7750 is not suitable for GMT yet .
O-Ring rubber = as usual, all the reps i've purchased, they left the O-Ring rubber dry and dirty. need to be cleaned and put some silicon grease by my self.
anyway, pics below
comparison PAM320 with PAM111
"REG TM" not as deep as genuine - but acceptable
lume shot - compare to my PAM111 (sorry - forgot to turn the pic)
O-Ring rubber cleaning in progress.
CB crystal has finger print on inside, this pic is after I cleaned it.
Silicone Grease applied
