Librarian Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 How easy is it to transplant a swiss eta into a Pam 048. It's a high beat MBK but I think I'm about to head down a franken route ... I've used the search function but had no luck with 40mm pams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosnik Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Get a SWISS 7750 like GEN. It's easy to directly swap . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Don't forget the new 28800 asains have different sundial and center seconds hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librarian Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I was assuming that I'd have to get new hands anyway. Are a7750's hands interchangable with swiss movements. I presumed not. I'm not sure I fully understand you ('cos I'm a total noob here) but the 048 has seconds at 9 o'clock on a subdial. Is that the sundial you refer to?

The seconds hand at 9 of your A7750 will not fit the Swiss movement without modding. Also you need to find a way to close the hole for the center seconds dial. see here: http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/121577-how-to-make-a-better-cannon-pinion-for-a-panerai-7750-movement/page__p__875518__hl__sander__fromsearch__1#entry875518 and here: http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/132076-franken-pam-120/page__p__969220__hl__%2Bcannon+%2Bpinion__fromsearch__1#entry969220 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I went the Swiss route a few times with some projects in the past, but soon realised that you may as well just service the A7750, much better value and will run for years and years if done properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librarian Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Thanks everyone for your answers. I reckon for once I'll learn from other people's experiences and not bother with the eta route. I don't have the skills or the time for that amount of work - maybe in 20 years when the kids have moved out ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosnik Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Telling about 40mm Pam series. I'm modding my MBW 048 with Gen Dial and SWISS 7750, do you guys know were to find a GEN DW and GEN hands set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
