Great collection DS! Funny to see that even the PAM doesn't have a leather strap
I also try to keep my collection down to 10 pieces, but I'll promise you that it ain't gonna be easy.....
@Brian D: if my eyes are not deceiving me the subdial spacing of the 7753 seems slightly wider than the gen and 7750. Can you confirm this?
So how is the AR of the gen compared to both reps?
The reason I'm asking is because I think to to have seen slightly different subdial spacings in the comparison pictures of last weeks Daylight comparison thread (gen vs A7750 vs 7753). But I may be completey wrong...

Pulling subdials can be very tricky indeed . I know that some people don't use the hand puller at all for these tiny parts, since it's hard to control what you do, and instead use a small screwdriver to gently lift it off (obviouslly the dial should be protected with some watch paper).
Sorry to hear this Cronsell. The Zigmeister has just repaired my 7750 which had a broken 30 minute counter pinion. Since I had my movement fully disassembled and serviced it was not a difficult or expensive fix. I would suggest to contact The Zigmeister for repair and full service (which I would highly recommend for every 7750).
Each year's PAM gets a letter:
J: 2007
I: 2006
H: 2005
G: 2004
F: 2003
E: 2002
D: 2001
C: 2000
B: 1999
A: 1998
(no letter): 1997
Picture 1 is found in PAM series C-G. Picture 2 is the newer movement found in H-series PAMs and later.
Same with the dials: 'Sausage' dials can be found in PAM series C-G. 'Sandwich' dials are used since the H-series.
