PAM 288 from the 2007 catalogue ... the 214 would be just a dead give-away there is no movement to rep. the split-secons function ... laz

Well ... my local guy cant help he identified the problem but cant fix it as he dont have parts ... im in the chat with rolli and some other members to see what can be done ... regards laz

Mine has been tested today at 5 and 10 atm. Both times positive regards laz

UPDATE. Watch has been lubed and tested 5 atm positive . 10 atm positive ... need to put the leather of and mount the rubber one all good ... now the only thing is my gf told me that the watchmaker asked if i can get one for him regards laz

So ... here is the news watchmaker has exament the watch and said that the movement seams to be in fine state but the pusshers are broken he was telling to my gf same as rolli has presumed that the little levers inside the pushers are broken ... bad news is he dont have the parts and is unable to source them there fore cant fix it ... Rolf check ure PMs from me if u please my friend . Regards laz

Yea ... i read ure topic neil and just had a flash the other day that this is bound to happen ... it just was an obvious and easy opportunity and this fella thought maybe he can get away with it ... Regarding the trust ... i think these boards are full of trusty members but then again there must be a procentage of rotten eggs also im not pointing fingers at noone but just stating the facts ... If u manage to find him on any of the boards the BAN shoud be svift and permanent ... just my 2 cnts . regards laz

Modern Sub on nato ... for me today ... as all my other pieces are at the watchmaker getting fixed ... alright ill stop ranting here is the pic i took just now Ou i wonder where is it now, looks like someone took it from the computer ???!!! AHHH there it is Laz

Yes Seagul 18 a copy of lemania ... Shoud be a rugged and good movement and probably is but i managed to destroy the crono yesterday ... i mean it can happen but to me recently it happens alot I have posted the problem under watch repair part of the forums and got people like rolli,The Zigmeister and Pugs chime in what coud be the problem and where to go from here ... as i write this its on the way to local watchmaker to see what he will be able to do with it ... Other then that this is the sweetest pam i had ... its perfect for my wrist size and so elegant ! I also like the fact that is thiner then the 44 models and slides perfectly under a shirt ... The 42 mm case as u mentioned needs the 25/20 strap ... the rep strap is as usually a joke ... but donores the buckle witch is nice ... i moved it to a black leather strap that i got in a deal wich is much nicer but still to small 24/20 i mean its there but just that tinny bit not wide enough... I triing to source one with strap makers but no luck also have an ad on paneristi so we will see ... at the end of the day i like this watch so much ill even by an OEM one from Panerai .... regards laz

Rolf , The Zigmeister , Pugs ... thx to all of you , will update tomorow with what the watchmaker was able to do ... regards laz

Rolf my friend thx for the kind words and prompt reply ... i knew it by reading the forums that this kinda things happen and i was prepared but recently it struck me hard ... Sfso ... then now the 204 ... another watch looks to be lost in the post ... im thinking what next But hey i get the "dont worry be happy" advice and ill try to keep my chin up and a smille on my face Ill do as recommended ... il ask my gf to take it to the watchmaker that worked on my Sfso when she will go to work tomorow ... i will see if he will take on the task of reparing it ... if not il PM you with arrangement to send it to you so ure watchmaker can work on it . I update the post when i know more. Once again , manny thx for kind words and moral boost ... i needed that ! regards Laz

pam 204 and the seagul/lemania dissaster Most of u know i posted the pam 204 pics wich i recived just a week or so back ... I had some SFSO problems also witch are now fixed in terms of movement ... and just when u think ure back on track ... somethin strikes Let me explain ... i was just on my way home and by some redicilous idea whanted to measure some route on my way (time ... so i press the top button on my 204 and start the crono ... all fine ... so it runs and i check it a few times all good ... i come home press the top button again to stop it and nothing ... i look again press again nothing ( on the second press the button feedback seamed to be goone ) on third time i managed to stop it but coud not reset it with botton button ! When i checked even more i realised that even the small seconds at 9 stoped ... witch means the watch has stoped ... i try to shake it a bit gently and realised that the crono hand moved freely when shaken I tryed to wound it a bit nothing then pressed the top button again and watch runned but now its inposible to stop it and reset it at all Both button feedbacks are goone now ... watch runs do . Who can help me with this please as i really like the watch and dont wanna get rid of it . Is it even fixable ? Any chance that a local watchmaker can fix it or i shoud not attemt that . All input appriciated ... kind regards Laz aka. bad-luck guy

Heh ann i once recived 4 packages in one week an already talked with my terapist if i need and if this is an addiction help hahahaha ... so its all good ... were all good hahaahah regards laz

UUU im confident in wearing my 47 destro now im all good hehehe regards laz

I can say much about the bling aspect as i dont have any piece like that ...yet ... i got excited about corgi s post about his tt sub blue dial version that he just recently purchased ... all do that one does not come with diamonds ... I had just made a trade over the RCI with a felow member and have an asian TT sub with gold serti dial and diamonds on the way ... i took this more as an experiment and if i like the TT style ill probably get somethin with swiss eta latter ... im just not so sure ill be wearing it so i took this road ... Kind regards Laz

Agreed just to obvious, missin the 8 day indicator that coud be seen from a plane ... wrong hands ... rediciolus GMT hand etc ... BUT ... someone coud do better one ey regards laz

Mine has been fixed now as i mentioned a gear got loose due to screew almoust completely un-screewed ... i have return it to watchmaker to lube and close it after i test it for accurancy for almost a week ... he will also perform the test at 5 and 10 ATM ... ill let u all know how that went by the end of the week ... fingers crosssed now regards laz

Ou yea ... i took that for granted ... tostef u removed all of the links totaling 6 links ? i mean as cableguy mentioned u have the pettite of pettite wrist size ... my gf has a small wrist and i was able to size the bracelet even for her ... regards laz

Thx D. pams were my first love when i joined in dec 2006 ... till then i sold of most of them like the 118 , 251 , but still kept the 217 that i got from rolli (dont wear it much but just like looking at it hehe ) and now got this one in a trade for the UPO that i have not be using and was just taking space in my watchbox ... im glad it will recive some decent wrist-time at Stans place While pams were going somethin strange happened i got a great deal from Stephane on a so called perfect sub and little did i know ... i went the rolex road witch i think i said i woud never do heheh Latst one i recived was the 1680 MBW witch is my favorite piece in my collection ... i have sent it to complete mooding experience to a well known member on the Boards ... Cant wait to recive that one back regards laz

Triodus . Thx for ure reply ... regards laz

Did u try to move also the pins on the clasp this will also shorten it a bit ... i dont know how much shorter u need it to be but that can help ... regards laz

Hi Stan , i was a bit worried since u did not contact me but im glad all went well and u like the UPO The 204 is solid piece i changed to the black strap u sent it with ... i posted a few pics on the boards . Regarding the strap i cant source 25/20 strap anywere the only thing woud be an OEM or to wait on paneristi for somehing to come up ... expencive choice do . I also asked about some custom work from V and some other people ... we will see wht time will bring . Manny thx again great trade . regards Laz

Out of topic here but let me reply ... personaly i think that 27/22 is the strap to wear on the 45mm rad ... all do the 26/24 aint a bad choice either ... rolli for one i think prefers the 26/24 combo as he told me once we discussed the rad straps ... 26/26 is a no go in my book ... just bulks out to much and changes the whole look of the watch. hope that gave u an idea V. regards laz

Sheesh ... so tempting just to drive away hehe and leave the country admit it ... u had a minute of weeaknes and wanted to have a go ... heheh just kiddin ... anyway nice watches indeed ... thx for sharing . regards laz

Hmm ... i followed this thread thinking ure going in wrong direction here ... my presuvasion was u shoud put a bond coloured one and if not that then black one from the pugs pics above ... Now boy was i wrong that looks stunning ... love it regards laz

Nice work D. Enjoy wearing that beauty regards laz
