Vaccum'd Pam Cannon Pin

Recommended Posts

As you may now there is a problem with the pannies cannon pin. Most reps come with a short cannon pin and you see the hands on an angle. This is done with a pourpose....to provide the clearance for the hour hand to pass over the sub seconds hand without jamming, also the minute hand needs to be taller (more than.45mm, from the top of the hand to bottom of the tube) or installed on an angle to pass over the hour hand.

To fix it you need two things

1. A minute hand that is .45mm from top to bottom.

2. A taller cannon pin that will provide the height needed to install the hands perpendicular to the cannon pin.

After getting this fixed, there is another issue with the cannon pin itself.......it is not flat at the top like the Gen cannon pin :angry:

Here are some pics of what I did to get the cannon pin closer to the Gen

Let's see the ETA canon pin out of the box...the top is not flat.

Then I took the swiss file and slowly made it flat but rough :g:

Then I took it to my buffing/polishing station and made it look smooth and shiny

ETA out of box vs. vaccum'd cannon pin :wub:

I hope this answers some of the questions about the "Cannon Pin Fix"

Sorry to dissapoint you but my genuine Panerai 112 Cannon pinion is NOT flat.. It is like the out of the box ETA.

Where have you seen a flat cp in a genuine?

I have to agree,,,,I thought the cannon pinions on gen pams,,,look just like the eta out of the box...However, still looks good and nice detailed work.
