Would a swiss eta 2893 fit into the current pam063 from our dealers?

[dvn]

I have a pam063 and concepta can source eta 2893 so my question is would it be a straight swap for the movement?

What else need to be done?

thanks

if the 63 you're referring to is an eta2836-2 based model then the movement ring will work for eta2893 as well as they're the same ligne. also, last i checked ofrei had 2893 in stock @$212. get a gmt hand or the whole stack for eta2893 from DSN, and you're in business.

then ofcourse you need to address the datewheel, cyclops, lume and crown.

That's a very limited supply of 2893s so if you're going to do it you should do it sooner than later...

Does the movement come with new date wheel? if not which date wheel is the right one?

[w0lf]

The movement from ofrei comes with a stock ETA datewheel which is incorrect for Panerai. You need a PAM rep datewheel - a datewheel with the right font family and boldness to help the dreadful optics of replicas. Leo and Lello are the only DW makers I'm aware of that made 2836/289x DW, however Lello DW hasn't been available for a very long time and Leo DW has a wait list on RG. It took me about 2 months between signup and delivery because many people want these for DSN 27/28/57 and 63's. You will also need a replacement cyclops which to my knowledge has not been produced for at least a year.

As for the cyclops you can use DSN's latest crystal... Oncyte has that on his 029 usually visible in his sig
