A7750 with P9000 plates (Pam 389 ZF)

[fraggle42]

Has anyone dismantled one of these?

 

My 389 just stopped working whilst on the winder and refuses to be bought back to life with a couple of medium slaps.

 

Pulled the back off to look for errant screws, etc, and was confronted by the Panerai P9000 look-alike plates:-

 

 

There's a fake plate over the balance plate, and I think they're created an autowinder plate that completely covers the 7750.

 

I would like to just remove the fake plates to look for loose screws, etc, without actually removing any of the movements actual plates.

 

The fake plate over the balance is easy, but can anyone point out the screws I need to remove to get the autowind plate off?

 

 

Thanks!

 

By the way, that is a silly little fake escapement wheel that's not connected to anything

Look for these. I believe there are 2 or 3.

The rest are fake. Remove the rotor first. There is also a fake cap in the middle hold down with double sided tape. Just use a small screw driver to pry it out.

Thanks Rolexman!

 

I decided to get the whole thing serviced so decided against using it as a target for practising
