Hey Finepics! I don't mind you're answer at all. Thanks for the information. So, based on the press metal to metal fit for the date changer and He valve, this would be the most likely area for water to enter the case? I've had the watch for 2 months now with no problems. The chrono functions work great and reset to zero perfectly everytime. Power reserve is 48 & 1/2 hours when the crown is wound for 90 seconds. Runs at about 5 seconds fast per day on the wrist. So far, the movement isn't giving me any problems as of yet...it's been consistent. By the way, do you (or anyone else) happen to know if genuine ETA parts will fit for this new asian movement in the 7753 configuration? Thanks!

Hello Rob, I just wanted to know a little bit about the case construction of the PAM 187 (the second version released this past June). Based on your servicing of a few of them, are there gaskets present where they should be? For example, for the pushers, crown, caseback, etc. Also, in the area of the dummy He valve and date corrector, are there holes completely drilled through the case. If so, are there gaskets there as well or nothing at all? And the construction of the rotating bezel...are there any gaskets in that location? Lastly, do you feel that the case and materials are of a quality that would last several years, or more along the lines of 2-3 years? Thanks for your time and patience. Laryea

Hello All, This is my first post, but I've been visiting this forum since Dec. '05, trying to get more information on this watch. I would love to purchase it with the 7753. Based on everyone's reviews of the quality of the case and sapphire crystal, adding the geniune Swiss movement would be the icing on the cake. Make it so!
