Great stuff, thank you
The glass broke about a year ago and I haven't worn it since. I'm moving house this weekend though, came across it in a drawer whilst packing and thought I'd like to get it fixed - I used to love the look and weight of it! Interesting to see that Gavin Newsom has taste and has copied me...
This is my first rep and I've never owned a gen (couldn't really afford it and doubt I would be comfortable wearing that much money on my wrist if I could) so haven't got a comparison but I was happy with the quality - it worked with no problems (until I brutalised the glass), the lume was bright, comparing it to pictures it looks like an accurate enough copy... The power reserve sort of worked - the indicator moved about halfway and was good for about 48 hours but not correct obviously.
I'm wondering whether it would be easier/cheaper to go for a homage instead of repairing it but I'll get in touch with those sellers to see what they can do, thanks again

Hi Poretl, I bought it from Time4direct in June 2009. I've emailed them but thought no harm in asking here as well

Hi all,
Just after some help but if this is in the wrong area then please feel to move/delete the thread
I've got a PAM233 rep (pic below) with a broken face. I'm after some guidance where I can get a new AR crystal replacement and some idea of how easy/difficult it is to replace? Are there any special tools I would need?
Thanks in advance for looking and if anyone can help then I'll be very grateful!
PAM233 broken, need bits and advice :(

Quick replies here, sorry I type slowly
Thanks for your opinion Zigmeister - the largest piece of glass is completely detached but I can see what you mean with the rest of it. Lots of bits have fallen onto the dial and I would guess some in the movement as well. I'm tempted to just agree that it should go in the bin but seems a bit of a shame...
I'm not too concerned about it being an obvious fake to someone who knows anything about them - I just like the look and feel of them. Hence also why the homage route is appealing, I was looking this Getat one but need to do some looking around if I'm going in that direction.
Appreciate all the quick replies
