Andei3000 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Posted July 5, 2010 Hey Eton, perform a search for Francisco and datewheel mod should bring you in the right direction. I did raise the datewheel on mine by myself, the date which is visible now is just a printed paperdisc. I still have the standard 7750 Asian movement in it. Feel free to ask whatever you want Ps.: I think those prices are in Yen, but I'm not shure either?
Eton Posted July 5, 2010 Report Posted July 5, 2010 Thanks Andei, much appreciated! BTW...I never get tired of your photography!
Andei3000 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Posted July 6, 2010 As some have asked, how big the 187 wears, I made a comparison shot between Breitling Bentley 6.75, Super Avenger and the 187. In my opinion the three watches are wearing the same size on your wrist, although they have quite different dial sizes (6.75 - 40mm, SA - 34mm, 187 - 33mm) My conclusion is, that the SA and the 187 are built like tanks and the 6.75 is more the classy watch under the big ones. Hope this helps: Andei
Watchmeister Posted July 6, 2010 Report Posted July 6, 2010 I haven't looked at the Honpo site in years. Still the same 7753 187. Functionality is good but everything else is bad. All aspects of the case are inferior. The date pusher is ridiculously large relative to gen, He valve should be engraved "HE" rather than raised lettering. And the fact that the 7753 dial doesn't really fit in the original accurate 7750 cases tells you that everything is just off. IMHO, better off with a good 7750 and you can take the extra money and buy a couple of other watches.
Cubeistan Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Posted July 8, 2010 Mouth watering, at least for me , pics of the real deal here My link very nicely illustrate some of the differences in gen & rep, e.g. check the bevel on the CG lever
prdubis Posted July 21, 2010 Report Posted July 21, 2010 Just a question: my 7753 PAM187 has screws on both sides of the lugs... Is it the same for yours? And I don't manage to unscrew them to change the strap...Any idea?

panerista1979 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Posted July 22, 2010 My favorite watch of all my watches (basically all time). My new Cubeistan Pam 187! I need to get a Rawling strap and then I am set! This had been mine some time ago and I really miss it. Spottet because there is a little flaw at the relume on the "6" at the 6 o Clock Subdial. That Strap was build from Ocram with a A8 Buckle. I have had installed a Takashi DW as well. Beautiful! I'm glad you enjoy it! Cheers R.

statikman Posted July 22, 2010 Report Posted July 22, 2010 My EL 187 was the first watch my wife stopped and said "Wow, I love it!" I lost 2 markers, couldn't find any so I sold it to another member. Maybe my favorite rep ever.

It is cool how many memebrs owned this thing and it still looks and wears like New! Are you the first owner? What is its origin? I am amazed at how many looks It gets with this strap and buckle setup. The Bezel on this thing is super tight and clicks loudly. I purchased it from Cubeistan, who I must say was a Pleasure to deal with. I had a bad experience with the first Pam 187 I bought (Basically fell apart) and was alittle apprehensive on buying another. I am super Glad I did. If you could PM me more info about it, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks AXO
flex Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 Alot of reviews amongst the Japanese forums have stated that there are lots of issues with Honpo this year.. flex
stolikat Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 Ok so the question has been asked before but no answers. So how do we find replacement numerals and markers for the bezel? I know this is a common problem. Someone has to be selling replacement parts?!?!

stolikat Posted August 2, 2010 Report Posted August 2, 2010 could be handy to have one just to cannibalize. I have a spare case for precisely that reason. Sadly the only thing it is missing is the pearl holder. I just lost the pearl holder off my keeper watch. Rotten luck. If anyone had another spare case with a pearl holder please let me know. I would be happy to swap some numerals or bezel markers for it.
OSRep Posted August 2, 2010 Report Posted August 2, 2010 I HATE YOU GUYYYYYSSS!!!!! I really want a 187 now..........
