FxrAndy Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Has any one got any experience with the new Pam 89s?<br />Running a gmt modded A7750 I assume it is pretty new as I have not worked on the movement but I am quite interested in them. It may be like almost every other Pam that I have had that I wear a few times and sell it on but I want a gmt watch that does not use a 2836 an as there is not a good 1675 off the shelf this is looking good<br />I will post a photo and link later but if any one has any experience with this movement I would like to hear about it.

PeteM Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) They have been using them in the older 88s etc ...I had a couple in past... as a movement mate I can only say they are pretty robust and mine were good workhorses but I cant say more than that mate sorry.. I can tell you the flaws with the 89 if that would help Contact Mike he has done a lot with GMTs..so has Sam and Kylan...

bumroxas Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Can the cannon pinion be modified flush on these? This was a dealbreaker for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Just so that every one knows what we are looking at this is the link http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_51&products_id=10605 and this is the watch Ok the canon pin is a 100th of a mil lowere than the hand set but thar could just be sloppy fitting or the hand tube is a tadge too long, wont realy bother me And this is a gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAM1962 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I have the 088 and it works flawlessly...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Thanks Does this have a jumping GMT hand that stays in sync with the Hour hand?? or is it just like the early 2836 GMTs where you had to judge for your self where it needed to be in relation?

panadyne Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I had an early DSN version, as a daily beater, for about two years. This is streets ahead, especially the cannon pin: the DSN had some sort of strange tiny cap over it to hide the hand stack. That said, the graphite dial was absolutely hypnotic and, as Pete says, the 7750 is a workhorse in this roll. As I remember though: the hour hand definitely does not jump.

PolonusTM Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 the GMT hour hand jumps while in setting mode; it moves slowly one rotation per 24h. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Thanks Polonus, that was what i was refering to "jumping in the setting position" Panadyne, BTW i saw a similar pic to your avatar the other day, wow the day dreams that brought up! the GMT hour hand jumps while in setting mode; it moves slowly one rotation per 24h.

Inertiadrifter Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 What about the dial, how does the H factory compare with GEN. I'm waiting for a nice rep o GEN comparison and I will decide whether to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 The gen is polished steel and the rep is brushed. That's the biggest tell, but it is a very nice rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
