  12. Panerai assemble/disassemble tutorial?

    in The Panerai Area

    Posted

    I would need some help to install hands on the 6497...

    I have a bulk 6497, it came with some "accessories", but don't know what they are...

    I've got a little golden circle, very thin, looks like a gasket (?), what's its purpose?

    Any step by step tutorial to reassemble the watch?

    Thank you all for your help!

    That thin little golden circle is a spacer thingy...please check the picture below:

    The thingy (red arrow) goes on top of the cannon pinion thingy (blue Arrow)!

    Then you install the dial....make sure you screw it in place...some Asian 6497 have the screw on the side of the movement, some are inside (backside) of the movement! Next is the hour hand....then the minute hand and if you have the sec hand!

    Good luck! ....and I hope you have some tools!

  18. PAM177G or PAM061......how should I call it?

    Got the idea from Lani....soak it in 1 cup of OxyClean and 1 cup of water for 24 hrs! When I took it out, it scared the crap out of me koz it looked like it turned into brass....literally that's how it look like! But, I cape codded it for 10 mins, left it on for 30 mins and polished it, and ......viola! As you could see it came out kinda dullish Ti! Looks like the Ti case of my 036:

    looks great, F!...

    well done...

    R-

    Thanks R-! BTW: I'll be in NY/NJ from tomorrow till Sun., give me a buzz if you have time!

    Actually, I'm not sure if there ever was a rep 177G display back. But I could be wrong.

    LOL! Another search! I saw the 177g and 061 online doing some research on Vintage PAMs and since I had a spare DSN Dial that looks like the 177g and a spare Jackson Tse Ti case, but was too shiny (I modded the case to look similar to the 177g and I think it came out ok!), so I thought, why not! Now the search for the caseback begins!

    Thanks, Drulee!

  22. PAM177G or PAM061......how should I call it?

    Been busy the past weeks working on some Panerai projects and here's the first that got done! The problem is, which model should I call it.....

    PAM177G or PAM061.

    Based on my research, this is very close to the PAM177G, here's the GEN:

    The PAM061 is suppose to be a dark brown dial, but some sites says more of Anthracite, most pictures of what I've seen looks like this GEN:

    So, experts......or not, what 'dya think? Here it is:
