goin6633 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi all , I just been asked form a friend to search for a PAM087 , and I want to thanks Polo do his best to find one for me . He told me this PAM087 was found in stock form another dealer , the one and the last . After a week for the shipping , it arrived finally . So , lets check the original look when I got it . And take a look about my PAM087 with the new one . You can see the original lume color is too green for a C-series T-dial PAM . So it 100% needs to have a relume work . Just take off the CG & corwn at first . Set the movement well and take off the hands . Put the A7750 movement in the movement box and leave the dial and hands for relume . Remove the original lume on the hands . Destroy the lume pearl on the bezel , I have to rebuild it to make the color looks the same . Next , prepare the lume powder and dye for tinting . I usually mix C3 and a little orange lume powder then tinting them to yellow like this . Relume the hands Relume the dial , the first picture is for you to compare the original and after , big different . Fill the lume pearl with the rest lume pigment . After it dry , I will fill the clear varnish to make it looks like a glass on it . Next , I will do some works on the CG . Separate the CG like it . Polish the CG pin (I forget to take the pics) , and also add a small o-ring to make the CG tighter . Set the dial and hands on the movement . Put it back the the case and also serew the movement ring back . After screw up the CG , the PAM087 is done . Check the pictures after relume and CG moded . How do you feel about it ?

Drulee Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Nice work, but what did you use to apply the lume with? And exactly how did you remove the old lume from the hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK471 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I think it looks really, really good. I've always liked the 87 -- it's one of my favorites. Let me know if you ever want to get rid of one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
