mas6002mi Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 PAM 063C does exist as a Gen. The GMT hand is fully functional as this rep, and the Gen, are based on the ETA 2893 movement which is a true GMT movement. Josh and Andrew' websites specify the movement as the 2836-2.............. is it the same as the 2893??? i guess this is a noob question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 The 2836, while an excellent movement, is not a true GMT movement and has been modified by the rep makers to emulate a GMT movement. It is functional but not as reliable in this modified state. You can, however, swap in a true 2893 GMT movement as many on the board have done.

btocamelo Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 And if you want to do that swap i still have a few 2893s left Do you also have the 63C hand set that fits the 2893 movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I am afraid i only have the movements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btocamelo Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Try DSN, he might have some! Nah...already tried that avenue...DSN's recent 29 & 63 hands are cr@p....FGD needs to take up the task Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to help ya out...and yes if FGD was to create 063 hands, we'd all grab them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought for a moment there Fxr had a stash of proper 63 hands...and sure, EL 63/29 hands would nice...unfortunately DSN seems to have lost the recipe to make them straight and wide........but that's why we may have to make a poll and present it to FGD...if demand is there, maybe it will motivate him to make some hands...I'm sure many members on 2-3 forums will be interested Look what member motivation did for Jakob and casebacks over at RG....

True and considering the 063's status as a super rep...that would definitely put it one step further! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FROGMAN Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 OH yeah....I'd be in for a set of those...my baby is just asking for another upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btocamelo Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) I don't have much tenure on this forum....maybe some of the more senior members can create a poll thread and we present it to FGD for his consideration. FGD proper straight and wide 29/63/23 hands for 2893 movement....They will sell like HOTCAKES! I have at least 3x 2893 movements that need proper hands....
