I believe the Z serial models are older like V2 or older. The Z serial ones had black painted rehaut "engravings" too where the V serial engravings are not colored. I've owned the GMTIIC 5 or 6 different times since it came out and the latest one I picked up is a V3 with V serial.

V3 upgrades are a thicker bezel assembly which results in a slight recess of the ceramic bezel and a more proper crystal height. The bezel numbers are brighter, larger, and deeper cut. The crown is slight shorter.

That happened to me too. One day the pusher fell out and all I was left with was a spring. The pusher is screwed in so if it gets unscrewed, you're screwed! I had no luck in getting it fixed and ended up selling it for parts. Good luck!

Pocket watch movements like the 6497 tend to be louder than other watch movements. It's normal.

Based on looking at that endlink in the last picture, I'd say rep. Plus it's just plain fugly!

What a beautiful movement! You should wear it facing out!

started to do a canon upgrade on my pam127 today and all went smoothly until i went to lift the movement out of the rear of the case and well......it wouldnt come out.

its rotates freely but cannot be removed. tried turning a full 360 incase there was an opening/key of some sort but no joy so had to put it all together.

do these need to come out the front? surely not.

has anyone got any info

The movement comes out of the front.

The tick marks still point inward rather than outward.

I think that's a gen. How do I know? Because I think I have the rep that's closest to gen...

For me, it's the crown guard. Without it, I would break off all the crowns on my watches.

I prefer to have a date on my watches.

Magnetized perhaps?

What I mean is, somebody could then righteously complain about a dead cow every time that someone shows a picture of a watch with a leather strap....

That looks very good on you - so it is comfortable?

Also, now that I think more about it, a more precise way of putting it - is the 196 noticeably heavier than other non-chrono 44mm Pams? (question directed to everyone, not just Tikerz)

Yes, it's very comfortable. Get a good quality strap.

I just got a 7753 PAM 188 and it's heavy. It may be heavier than the Arktos I had a while back. I have small wrists too and it looks and feels great. I like a heavy watch.

Now that's the BEST Arktos. They got the bezel marker font correct. Excellent!

That looks great! Love the lum on it. Congrats!

Thanks for the nice comments! Credit goes to speedy1 and The Zigmeister for the mods.

PAM 188

I believe it is a feature where the gmt hand ran too fast, so the tip compensate and points back at th right hour

If I didn't have a gen arrviving tomorrow I would be really [censored] I sold it.

I am glad you like it.

This deal went smooth and tinkerz in a gentleman, that folks is always a pleasure in a deal.

Thanks!

I have to say the same about speedy1! Thank you! Please post pics of your gen when you get it!
