  11. hello, about 2 weeks ago it happend to me, what happend befor to many members here on the board which own a pam183/210. the thread of my tube and crown got striped. first i don´t know what to do, but then i thought i should talk to david over on trc. he told me that he is able to source me a tube and crown for my bs. the spare parts arrived this morning and the first impression was that the quality/threads of the crown and tube are much better then on the ones that came with th rep. i installed to tube and it fits good, of course you have to glue it or use loctite(243). the only problem is that the stem of the eta 6497 doesn´t fit to the thread of the crown, the crown-thread is to small for the stem. i have send an email to david and explained him the problem. i think this should not be difficult to fix. best wishes olreon
  12. hello, i think that this will be a very hard project to realize, because the case, bezel and crown guard are made of ceramic... best wishes

    PAM 050

    hello, i found the post on old rwg, it was Dub43, I just received my PAM51 from River. Let me say that this watch is absolutely beautiful!!! I'm blessed to have been fortunate to purchsae a genuine PAM51. I treat it like Royalty and only wear at work (desk jockey). I wanted something for the weekends that I could beat up and not worry about. What better than a rep of my favorite watch - and am I glad that a rep of the 51 finally came out! I'm verry happy with it (and River's delivery was quick - 3 days). I thought it would be interesting to compare the rep to the original! I'm going to point out the flaws of the rep - but let me be clear - for the money it's fantastic. The rep cost 1/15th the price of the original - you aren't going to get original quality for that price. And the best part is in the mornings when I put my watch on I have a hard time determining which is the original and which is the rep! Here are some of the differences I noticed with the rep: Hands The hands are not as long and not as wide. They are at least 1/16" too short - maybe as much as 1/8" too short. The luminositiy material is green-tinted versus white-tinted on the original. Dial The numbers on the dial aren't as thick as the original. Almost but not quite. The numbers on the date wheel aren't as thick as the original either - way smaller. The magnifier is weak. The magnification is about 1.1! Barely provides any magnification. The magnifier is too small as well. The white color is as bright and white as the original - that's fantastic! I can't stand the silvery-white dials. Bracelet Wow. Looks just like the original. It's a mixture of brushed and polished just like the original. The shape of the links are spot on! It's only a single push button while the original is double. It also has two half-links that the original doesn't. However, this is great for small adjustments (wish my 196 had this). The fit and quality isn't as good as the original (obviously). The clasp isn't as tight and the two inner-most links have a small gap when the bracelet is closed. Crown/Crown Guard The crown is not quite as thick as the original. Almost but off by a hair. The lever is a little loose. Not much - just a little - not as tight as the original (anyone know how to fix this?) Movement I didn't take the back off to actually look at the movement. I'm not even sure what model the movement is. It has kept good time so far. The only issue is setting the date. The time can't be between about 7 to 11 or the date hangs. Readjust the time and the date moves fine. Same thing happens on my rep 188/196 (man I love those white dials!). The date actually changes pretty close to midnight - pleasantly surprised! Size This was my biggest surprise. The watch is actually smaller than the original. The dial is 2 mm smaller. The overall width is about 1 mm smaller - the bezel is about 1 mm wider than the original (making up 1 of the 2 mm difference) Weight Fantastic! I didn't actually weight the two of them but the rep's weight feels excellent. It's a tad lighter than the original - but barely noticeable. Hope this info helps. If anyone is interested I can try and post the pics of the two side by side (my digital camera doesn't take very good closeups). Again, let me say - I posted the differences between the two. But this is comparing a $350 watch versus a $5,300 watch! There are going to be significant differences. But for the money this is one of the best reps I have ever seen and I am thrilled with it!

    PAM 050

    hello, i remember a post where a member on the old rwg compared side by side the gen pam51 to a rep. he says that the dimensions of case and dial where different between the rep and the gen... so i think that the 40mm pams are not as close as some think about.... best wishes
