another 236 arrival. better CG lever


asf

Recommended Posts

quick iphone pics. got it from Josh today.

I gotta say, the quickset date is snappy. the CG pin needs a mod for sure. Some of you have felt my DSN 111H and know how HARD it snaps and opens.

The CG lever only so slightly pokes out a bit at the part it connects with the pin.

Not trying to hijack this great thread...but I'm just off the IM with one of the dealers who confirmed the factories have currently run out of correct casebacks for PAM236 and will be using Kxxxx/1000 for the time being until the new Kxxx/500 casebacks with sequential numbers will be made. ETA is now about 2 weeks time.

The PAM196 also comes with the wrong Hxxx/500 casebacks, and the correct batch (Hxxxx/1500) is already in production, so no sweat...these are also ETA 2 weeks.

Also, it is confirmed the correct PAM250 Kxxxx/2800 caseback WILL NOT be produced.

However, the rep PAM250 is simply a PAM236 with the leather/rubber strap...so no drama :)

cheers!

I loctite all my bracelet screws just not not have problems. I once had a v3 skyland avenger grey dial almost fall off my wrist when inwas washing my hands. I found the screw to the bracelet on the tile floor. Atleast with this loctite it's removable with some strength.

This watch is pretty heavy none the less.

Still like it :)

This is Quality Check photo from Josh using this new Kxxxx/1000 caseback.

On the other hand this CB has Officine Panerai logo which is not shown on Kxxx/500. It is better to decide what to have: logo or correct numbering since gen has both.

both dials have incorrect "STAINLESS STEEL" letter spacing. Kxxxx/1000 has better "100m" and smaller fish symbol, closer to the gen. Well, maybe, since the engraving is so deep I can sand off just Kxxxx/1000 serial, polish whole caseback GEN style and then laser engrave correct serial number again? I will try it, I guess...
