It has been a long time and I'm glad to have another 111 on my wrist again

[projectologist]

This one was acquired yesterday in trade locally.  It's a Noob v3 that was sent off to The Zigmeister by the first owner for a movement service and Asian Inca mod.  I flattened and polished the winding and ratchet wheel screws as well as the teeth of both.

Then I did a re-polish of the case set and fine-tuned the cg body, lever and both roller-bearing and lever pins.

During a long lunch break today I grabbed some phone pics of one of my favorite SS 44mm PAMs...













Flattened and ready to go back in...

Fantastic watch! Wear her in good health
Sometimes I miss my PAM111..

I remember my first PAM111 from Marlin, sold it with regret. Ordered a new one from him right away and it's back on the wrist.

I also upgraded the CG to a v4 one and finished/modded the lever with a glass file, now it is perfect. Will also flatten the pin after seeing your pics (thanks!)

Great review! I bought a Pam177 from Hontwatches, and I'm going to replace myself the incabloc. Do you think it's a good from Hontwatches?

I ordered it but haven't received yet

[Josephblack88]

Which website do you recommend? Intime or Hontwatches?

[projectologist]

I do not have any experience with either of the dealers you mention.

 

I use a dealer that is listed at RWI for new releases and try to buy all other watches from members I trust.

[Mapman57]

What a super dial shot 

 

And the watch ain't half bad either 

[Ezio]

Great watch you have there mate and great job to

Wear her in good health

[Josephblack88]

Are you going to replace the incabloc so it looks genuine?

[Josephblack88]

Should I buy this Pam111 from Intime?

No... it's close enough when viewed from 1.5 ft

Thanks:))

crown guard looks nice...any tricks to getting it perfectly flat agasin't the case?

[projectologist]

Speaking only for myself, I try to buy a watch that already has a good cg to case fitment... otherwise I don't buy it.

 

Plus I'm lazy, it's not an easy mod to get a perfect fit.

[chris5264]

Thanks,,,I can imagine the right tools...have to keep a sharp right angle for the bottle but top is curved so can't really clamp it down. Can't use a file as one slip creates a gap...certainly is easier to get one with a good fit. ...

[persianpirate]

Very nice... What did you use to polish the case? Mine can use a facelift

[seeaye]

If anyone is hesitating on buying a panerai.. just look at this. The closest you will get to the feeling of holding one in real life. Beautiful!

 

They look so much better in person than in pics! 

[blackoyster]

All my crownguard had custom fit.... You got to try it with a dremel.....and step by step.....Till its Perfect!....
