My babies are back from the Great White North and I'm happier then ever! Huge thanks to the mega-talented R&J team and Watchmeister for helping these projects come to fruition While there is still one more on the way, I'm no longer PAMless Build/Parts lists: o PAM29B Honpo base w/ ETA2893 (OFFICNE full deco) Finepics relume (with amazing refinish by The Zigmeister) Finepics 2893 DW Chief Cyclops MM104 crystal (much clearer than stock Honpo or old cartel) OEM crown / Custom The Zigmeister tube Full OEM handstack OEM semimatte calf o PAM28A Honpo base w/ ETA2892 & Soprod 9040 (OFFICNE full deco) Original Honpo 1st gen dial The Zigmeister 2-color relume (white base + aged Tritium mix) Lello 2892 DW DSN 1st gen 1-piece crystal Genuine PVD crown / Custom The Zigmeister tube Genuine handstack Genuine semimatte calf Custom double-screw A-series buckle Honpo PAM27A Caseback (Correct millesimation/serial range for PAM28A) PVD by Jack@IWW o PAM48K MBW base EL 1st gen PAM48 dial relumed by The Zigmeister MBW matching relume hands Taka 7750 v2 DW Hi grade A7750 The Zigmeister custom fab polished & flush CP OEM antique brown gator A few more shots of the 28A since it's a huge crowdpleaser I'm debating whether I should swap the DSN 1-piece crystal for an MM104 crystal with SSSurfer cyclops or leave it well alone, I know it's a slippery slope. I featured this 29B in my Honpo writeup awhile back. It has since then been fitted with OEM hands, the dial has been refinished by The Zigmeister and since it's an older watch the movement received a full teardown service. Later I'll try do small a writeup comparing my wife's gen dial/gen handstack MBW PAM48K franken to this one with a masterfully relumed EL dial.
