FreddyD Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 The pushing side of the lever is too long and is pressing the crown way too tight. I'm planning to Dremel it but I'm not sure about the propper shape or lenght. Could you help me with some tips or links? Thanks in advance.

PeteM Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Personally mate.... if you need to ask I wouldnt attempt it... But if you cant find a modder where you are or where you are willing to ship... then it would help if you posted some pics of the issue and what PAM you have etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Pete is right. Also a pic or two would be helpful. My own rule of thumb is that irrespective of how tight it is if a lever firmly contacts the crown and closes fully within the the CG body there is no such thing as too tight. It is hopefully all the more weather and dust proof. You can't damage the movement. The stem is not going to slip. Also, if it ever did fit better but is now too tight it is possible the gasket(s) moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreddyD Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Finally after some time, the process it's done!!! I needed to test the sanding down every moment. I've used a metal press and sand paper The adjustement was perfect, the lever pushed the crown with the propper strenght Now I have my own 360, the Paneristi boys didn't answered my e-mail . I don't like 100% replicas so I've used a customized 195 caseback instead. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Nicely done. In the one wrist shot, it looks as though the pin is sitting up a couple of millimeters to high. Is that correct, or is it just the picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Nice work Freddy. I need to do the same for one of mine, what kind of sandpaper did you use? What grit? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If da stem ist cut too long, da pilot shaft will "bottom out" against the main plate (or da retaining groove against da set lever stud when it reaches da end of its travel). In either case da crown gasket will not be fully compressed irrespective of how "tight" da lever action ist. For dis reason, da lever tension ist always checked with da movement removed. How does your current water resistance compare to it's pre modification level? stiff muckler ist im da Haus! p.s. long stem = broken stem or wet uhren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
