With my PAM 112 in Fushimi Inari Taisha shrine - Japan

I will check them out, I am currently in Japan for two weeks.

I have taken a look into this after I had found a gen 111e dial and hands, but I couldn't find the correct movement so I stopped this project.

Finally finished restoring a full gen 6694. I have to say I am really happy with the end result. It started like this: And it now looks like this:

Damn, I miss this beauty. Wear it with pride.

Welcome, I am from Holland, and there are some more Rolex fans, and modders here. I have build a couple of Franken Rollies (16610 and 5514), but at this moment I am trying to improve my skills in servicing the eta 6497 movement, before moving on to other movements.

A complete case set from Phong is about $1450

Not a wristie, but I wanted to show my new watchbox.

Indeed, teach us What a amazing build.

Easy choice for me as I already have a vintage Speedy from 1991. I want another one, they are just amazing.

Very nice build, I miss mine. I would match the dw to the dial.

Brilliant first post. Please read this first: btw. Welcome to this forum.

What you can try to remove the stem is to loosen the small screw you see near the crown (a couple of turns is only needed, do not remove this screw) with a small screwdriver, and then the stem should fall out when you turn the watch with the crown tube facing the table. Then put the stem back in the crown (maybe use a drop of loctite to fixate it). Here is a video how to disassemble a watch with a 6497 movement which you can use as a guide.

I know, but I am not using the 7750 anymore so I thought why not swap these hands before I throw it away.

I want to replace the hands of my 7753 PAM 187 with the hands of a 7750 PAM 187, because the hands of the 7750 have the correct color. Will these hands fit? My 7750: My 7753:

Well, I will give it a try. I have bought some very nice parts from this seller at a reasonable price before, but probably this will end up in a bidding war.

I have got a 1530 movement. Thank guys for the info. I am thinking about buying a Phong ETA 1665, and then switch the inner parts (movement, dial and hands) of this watch to the HH case, and then move the gen movement to the Phong case. And I will replace the plexi, insert, tube and crown on the Phong case with gen parts. By doing this I will end up with two very nice watches.

Thx, the movement, dial, hands, plexi, crown and insert are gen. The crown tube is from Athaya, and the midcase, caseback and bezel assembly are HH. Yes, the HH case is made for gen, but the movement position is not perfectly on mine. I don't know if this is a common issue with this case set.

I have a issue with my Franken HH 5514. Recently the gen movement in it stopped, and would not start anymore. I have sent this watch to a watchmaker, and he told me today he could not put the stem properly back in the gen movement because the crown tube and movement are not properly aligned, and the stem therefore would bent. He said he can fix this, but this would be expensive, so I have asked him only to service the movement. I have a couple of options. First one is to try to find a modder here who can fix this for me. Or replace the HH case with a Phong case, or maybe replace it with a gen case. Will a Phong case be a better fit for the gen movement? What would you guys advice? Here are a couple of photo's of the watch.
