blackbard Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Which modern Pams come with the crown guard lever that has the roller in it?
Drulee Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Did you by a new "old style" case for your 250 project? I believe they started using it from the "I" or "J" series onward. The quick release lug system was added around the same time, but not for all models, I think they put it mainly on autos.
blackbard Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Posted December 3, 2009 I have two watches currently. The first one I got and then a parts watch to play with. I'll take the guts out of the first one to put together a solid rep then take the case with the push pins to convert the 250.... Thanks for the info....I guess I can keep the roller pin for my 250.....
blackbard Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Posted December 3, 2009 By the way, the Dial arrived safely....Thanks!
Drulee Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 By the way, the Dial arrived safely....Thanks! Yes I noticed The reason I asked, was because I'd purchased an auto 308, as it came with the "old style" case with working quick-release lug system, and the roller lever in the CG. So my original plan was to try and create a later series 250 with 7753, but then two things happened... First I realized that, as the 308 had round pusher for the chrono, the case would have to be modified to accept the square ones of the 250 ... great. Next, I came across a nice 7753 250 for sale, which also had the lower sub-dial lumed like the gen, so I bought it, and gave up on assembling one myself.
blackbard Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Posted December 4, 2009 Nice! If I find one at the right price before I finish mine, I may offer the "kit" for sale.
Drulee Posted December 4, 2009 Report Posted December 4, 2009 Nice! If I find one at the right price before I finish mine, I may offer the "kit" for sale. As you're good with metals How hard do you think it would be to modify that old-style case so that the rectangular pushers would fit properly? Of course the cutouts in the CG would also have to be squared out, or else another 250 CG would have to be sourced (I think I've only ever seen one up for sale).
blackbard Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Posted December 4, 2009 According to my machine shop when asked about these things...The case would have to be mounted at the proper angle so that the milling machine could do it squarely. Once that is done, it would be a simple job. However, I am going to be listing my "kit" this weekend, so if you want, let me know......
