Hi all ,

I would like to share the PAM243 I did today .

The 243 is the same as model as unregistered ever shared before , so that we all know the differents compare to gen .

Here's the PAM243 from the dealer .

The marks on the bezel are all brushed , so I will polish them .

The CG looks good to me , just need to tight the lever & flat & polish the CG pin .

Take off the CG and the case back .

Seperate the case and the movement , ready to work !

I polished the marks on the bezel at the first , you will see that's big different .

Then , I add the o ring in the CG to make the lever tighter . Also flated the CG pin top and polished it .

Move the original pearl on the bezel , I will rebuild the pearl to make it fit the color .

The second is relume job . This time , I will do a little different about the relume .

Check this gen pic at first .

You will see the color of lume pigment on the dial , numbers & marks are different .

So , make them different might be a good try this time .

I mix some C3 & C1 for the numbers & small marks on the secs .

The first step is done , you will see the numbers are brighter than marks .

Next , mix the tritium yellow looks for the marks , hands , and the pearl .

Very nice job mate, very nice

So explain more on the CG mod if you dont mind, Do you mean a sheath rather than O ring ? Did you rebrush the CG body or just flat/ polish pin?

Nice lume job :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Great tutorial and a must for all PAM colectors - not seen the o ring aproach before?

Another possible mod on this piece could be to remove the markers from the bezel, shave them down a fix them back in at a lower level, which is more gen like. However the numbers on the markers are always a litle larger than the gen numbers and this is probably no fixable?

Thanks for sharing. I just picked up a 092 Arktos - do you want a project???? :whistling:
