shultz Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Hi, I just dug some old school PAM50 parts out of my junk box and want to build up a PAM50 C series. I have a few questions to the forum and would be happy for your thoughts. 1) Dial and hands have been re-lumed by Rob two or three years ago. So I want to stay with that set. But is the printing below 6 correct for C series? 2) The rep DW shows a quite bolt font as you can see from the pic below. I already ordered a takashi DW for 7750 but I am not sure if this will make a big difference. 3) Here is a pic of the mag. Not a big improvement compared to the pic above. What do you think? Probably I should go for a lens swap. I have two lenses in stock with different diameters. As far as I know one is from the watchmen the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmedude Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Yikes! The date font looks hideous. How long have you had these parts laying around? Do you think it'll be cheaper to just buy a new watch and start fresh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shultz Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Look, I have got all parts I need and a better printed DW (takashi) is already on its way to my place. And the dial and hand set is already re-lumed by The Zigmeister so I wouldn't save money by ordering a new rep I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jitai Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 (edited) The DW looks fine. Did you by any chance swapped in a Lello's DW? Well, because most of the old school PAM48/50 rep had the wrong DWs which are too thin. If this is the original stock DW, then congrats. I don't think you need to replace it. The DW font do not blow up bigger because the rep cyclop lens magnifying power is weak. I think this is the only thing you need to mod. The caseback looks great and "C" series is correct with "L Swiss L" dial. Good luck. This is a fine looking watch which will grow on you each day.

Rolexfinder Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Try MBW DW. Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the only thing you need to mod. Here's mine Gen pic Thanks for your input. I bought my watch years ago. IMO it was the first batch of PAM050 reps and I never swapped the DW. Funny that I purchased this from Paul/ Pam111/ watchmart or however he used to call his enterprise until it was down and came back with a new website I will see how takashi's DW is. Should arrive within the next week. If the printing is sharper I will do the swap. May I ask you where your lens came from. I guess I would be fine with that magnification as well. Due to the C series: Did the gen watches came with ar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
