  1. 3035 is a thicker movement with a different offset between stem and dial. If you put a 3135 in a 3035 case you’d need a dial spacer and a longer pinion for hands. I’m also after a 3035 for a 16800 build. Not easy to find at a decent price.
  2. My work in progress with UAE ministry of defence dial.
  3. Thanks good advice. Under 50x magnification I noticed the tube had split. Even crimping was no good. I ended up ordering new hands instead.
  4. Hey guys I just transplanted hands between clone 3135s. Since, the gen seconds hand has fallen off twice. I'm using a press to put them on and they click on nicely but fall off if the case is given a shock. I don't have broaching tools are there any tips on what could be wrong/options for tightening the sucker up? Thanks...
  5. Check what I found at the bottom of the watch box. I haven’t worn this for 5+ years. Thank you covid and boredom for reuniting me with this little champ [emoji1374][emoji1362]
  6. I’d highly recommend it. Stunning so far.
  7. Thx buddy. I haven’t left it off the wrist more than 3 days so not sure exactly but definitely 48 hours+. I got it in an m2m and just installed the crystal.
  8. Not sure how reliable I’ve only had it a few weeks. Reserve seems excellent. I can leave it in the box 2 days it doesn’t miss a beat. Did I say she’s sexy as hell?
  9. The fake "button" had me freaked. Turns out it's the little screw below the stem. Approx 360 degree turn with stem in wind position.
  10. Quick question has anyone removed a p.4000 from a case? The little stem button on the plate seems decorative. Do I need to remove the plate to access the real button? Any thoughts appreciated.
  11. What do you think boys and girls?
  12. Hey guys which TDs or other contacts do you think would have a cal 999 available? I need to breathe some life into an old rep. Alternatively anyone with one of these they'd like to sell as a donor?

  13. I’ve gone for PAM111 on Malio today [emoji1360]
  14. It is hard to replace a 512. She still works but rough as guts. I will need to consider a transplant soon.
  15. Thx bud I’ll check it out. Didn’t realise there was a rep.
  16. Thanks for your insightful response. By dress watch I mean something that fits under a shirt cuff. There’s actually plenty of options from Panerai. My 47mm subs look out of place with a suit.
  17. Thanks bud Iooks neat. I just found I have a replacement movement in another watch. I’ll have a go at a transplant. Pam572 looks interesting might check one out also. Would need to get rid of the noisy rotor though.
  18. Hi folks I’ve got a pam512 which I love dearly but the movement is starting to play up. I’d be happy getting a replacement but I’m wondering if there is some other small and thin pams you’d recommend I look at. Something without a crown guard, nice and thin that will fit nicely under a shirt cuff. Fore away! Thanks in advance!
  19. Mine is a 71 1675. I feel like I'm cheating if I wear another watch. Maybe because it was a wedding gift from my wife?
