marlin22 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hey guys, I wanted to share my Pam 127 project with you and at the same time document the progress of the build. Please note this is nowhere near the finished product, I will change case, case back,crystal, bridges and much more. More to come this is only the beginning.... Thanks for looking....

marlin22 Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I want to keep it as much rep as I can, I have only used a gen ETA mainplate the rest are combinations of the best of every rep factory. This will allow others the ability to do the same, without breaking the bank buying gen parts. I think when I am done it will be very very close, I will list all the part when i am done.

marlin22 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 UPDATE: There has been some talk about polishing the bridges, well I sacrificed a Noob bridge to test this. The result is, the platinum plating is very very thin and will not stand proper polishing to a hight luster. Trying this will get you down to the brass and you will have a yellowish hue with high luster along side the factory platinum plating. In conclusion, don't believe the hype DO NOT TRY THIS!!! it will ruin you bridges. Besides its not that bad straight from the factory. Won't be doing this on super mod watches, not worth it.
