Go for it t I am in for at least 2.

I too have a defective crown from PAM. It would be great to have t crowns produced. I would buy several.

word!

Thank you for your response.

I have a IWC 3717 case set. (there is no movement inside) I need to remove the crystal and I don't know how. Does the case back need to be removed? Or, does the bezel simply rotate off freeing the crystal? Thank you, vlydog

Does any of our NYC area members know of any interesting speakeasys? I just learned of two actually; Milk and Honey and one inside Crif Dog with a secret access through a phone booth and a sliding door.

Thought I would give this another try.

I think V has or had a strap like this; maybe he can help.

I do plan on having the CG pin leveled.

Thank you archibald, would you mind sharing some of your most accurate PAMS?

Congratulations to you and your family V. You have a beautiful son and future strap builder. Καλύτερες ευχές

Name it.

once you go brown you never go black.

Tourby, excellent work. Keep us posted.

Davidsen and Angus both contacted; waiting response. leaning toward the 55 with a nice honey gator strap.

Looks like using the MBW end-links solved the problem. Thanks everyone.

I have been thinking long and hard about my next PAM. I want my next to be different than my 219 but to satisfy my taste. This might end up being a Fraken of sorts. Here all the facts: Solid case back model series A-D This is the movement that I will use.

Here is what I know. 1. The aftermarket MBW bracelet fit the case well. 2. The new bracelet was sold as genuine so I am trusting that it was sold with gen end-pieces too. 3. I do have a extra set of 580's I could try and an offer to try 585's; on loan..

Very generous, Thank you. I may take you up on that. Still waiting for a return message from Ziggy.

using 580's but how does that explain that the rep bracelet seemed to fit ok?

Hi all, Just received bad news from Ziggy. The gen bracelet that I purchased to attach to my newly modded MBW 1665 GW does not fit the case. Does anyone have any reasons why or solutions to offer? Would it be as simple as changing end pieces? Currently using 580's This is what Ziggy wrote: Hi Bruce. Received the new bracelet yesterday, but unfortunately it doesn't fit your case. The end links fill up about 2/3 of the lug space, with the link sitting low in the case. In other words the end link doesn't sit flush with the top of the case lugs, it sits below the lugs and there is a gap between the top of the lug and the link. The spring bar holes in the case, and end link tubes, don't line up with each other, and the spring bars can't be inserted. I don't know of any way to make the bracelet fit, the alignment is out by the diameter of the spring bar and I have no way to move the whole assembly upward and inward to get it to align and work. Wish I had better news... This is not in any way a distrust in Rob it is just something I thought someone else may have encountered. Thank you all, vlydog

I'll give her a go!
