So I somehow lost the Helium valve on my Noob CrPO. I know that I can buy the OEM on ebay for around $100 or hope that something pops up in the parts section but rather than that, I'd like to buy a cheap PO and just fit the Helium valve from that watch and then keep or sell the donor for parts. Does anyone know if the cheap PO's for example this one on Toro's site: http://www.tb-688.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=37_128&product_id=151 would fit a Noob CrPO?

10+ years into this hobby. Current state of the collection.

Do we know for sure if these are being repped?

Crossing over the big 40 today! Over the hill? Perhaps but enjoying a nice latte in Vilinuis, Lithuania.

So many obvious tells but still love this one

Opinions on this combo? Not sure if this looks right on a NATO.

It's a liquid filled watch. There would be no way to get that done anywhere near our rep prices...

I think you'll be waiting a very long time for this one...

I have a PAM 111 H-Fac which has run into some problems. It kept on having the keyless problem where the crown would pull out but I couldn't set the time. This started happening after I had the watch serviced by that old member on here (forgot his name - but the scammer who kept everyone's watches). Anyways, I made the mistake of trying to fix it myself, I had issues getting to the keyless reset part and ended up bending part of one of the plates and in general just screwing up the movement. It could probably be fixed but I'd rather just learn how to replace the movement. Can someone please guide me on whether this is a good idea (cost wise) to try and replace the movement myself? I have no experience working on watches but would like to learn. Where can I find the right movement? I understand that it has the 6497 movement but how do I find the right one with the seconds at 9? Any advice or guidance would be highly appreciated!!

Is that a gen or is the rep black BB out??

Love this niche gen. Got a great deal on it also
