Tube and Crown for PAM 183 Black Seal

[lfovco]

I have a PAM 183 Black Seal. Very first model that came out from Eddie Lee. I got it from him back in 2005. After all these years the tube has not much life left in it, I figure another year or so to go, maybe less. It only lasted that long because it is not a watch I wear every day. Plus I was insanely careful about it.

I have been searching for information if anyone makes the tube and crown set that's much better quality, that would last for many years but I had no luck finding any info.

I would really appreciate any information in that regards.

THANKS EVERYONE!!!

i think you're referring to the PAM183 radiomir black seal, not the 187?

I would rather get one made than try finding one... new tube and stem

Or try to source direct from dealers maybe the new 288 crown and tube or buy one and part it out...all comes down to dosh mate

Yes, I meant PAM 183.

It seems like it may be too much hassle and potentially expensive. I guess I'll keep it until it completely wears off and maybe reuse the movement for something else.

Thanks for the info.

Post edited. Try DSN as he should have a tube/crown for the 183

Cousins UK has the correct tube. Listed as "tube k". It's a much better quality than the original and a direct swap.

Kbh, that's very cool, thanks for the info. Is it pretty easy to change it? Looks like it's not a huge deal in the pictures. I assume that the current crown will work with that tube.

Thanks..
