Hello vintage lovers...
I have in plan to make some custom made brass (if somebody wants, these can be done out of aluminium as well) movement rings for the vinatage PAM's - Angelus & Cortebert...
This post is made with the intention to see how many interest there is for this kind of parts...I got a couple of PM's in the past months thus I decided to check whether there is any interest or not...
I have done a couple of them in the past for some of my friends and they appeared to be OK..
Please state the type and number of them...all reply's in this post, no PMs at the moment!
Please take a look at the next couple of pictures to see how an Angelus mvt ring looks like (this one is mounted in a 6152/1 case from DSN) :
are you asking about the Nautilus or Aquanaut?!
AFAIK, there are a couple of dealers that can source MBW models for you...once of them is Narikaa (I believe his service is one of the best that you can get - browse the forum and you'll find all the needed details)...
just FYI the two reps you bought in Thailand (Panerai and IWC) do not have the A7750 movement - they rather have a cheap asian 21j movement and are pretty innacurate reps (there are much better versions of the same watches by our dealers - I hope you haven't payed more than 50$ for each one of those)..
all in all, you have some nice pieces...keep collecting!
T, thanks for the update & thanks for making this projects...
I thought that the Cortebert hands will be the first one to be produced...but actually it doesn't matter!
This will be great, I really need a nice pair of Cortebert hands (as a matter of fact, one pair of each! )...
reply sent..
I got today the first two prototypes from Leo...already brought them to my watchmaker so he can install them...Leo is waiting for my feedback about these, how they fit...
ASAP I will post some feedback w pics...
AFAIK he is not taking any orders at this time - he is waiting for my feedback..
looks like you've achieved a great result...compliments!
I am as well interested to see how it will look like once it is mounted on the crystal...looking forward to your update
there is another member "leo" who is making DW's for these...I have two on the way to me...will send them immediately to my watchsmith for install...will keep you all updated..
on RG there is a lot of discussion for these models brought today by DSN
you can find the post on the RG forum :

a similar movement is to be found in the Daytona - different subdial position...but then again, the bad movement with running sec at 6
