Extreme Mods On Pam 063 2893


flavor flav

Recommended Posts

all hands set to 12:00 and "hacked" before removing and installed at 12:00 same as pulled off. may be the adjustment. it's fine. i tested it.

Actually, I was asking about mine. That one looks perfect.

With all hands at 12, the GMT hand sits at about 23:40... As long as the GMT hand isn't keyed on the stack, a simple realignment should take care of it.

Hi guys...

just thought to show you my 2893 Pam 063, after all the upgrades I made on it.

Right now, only the AR coat is missing..., then it will be perfect! :Jumpy::1a:

Mods made:

- Genuine tritium hands set (from Adam-co)

- 1:1 crown that I further polished (from Palp)

- Correct datewheel (from Lello) :whistling:

- 1,8x sapphire cyclops (from Sssurfer)

- Dial re lume

- Genuine alligator strap (from Panerai Firenze boutique)

The total cost, included the rep price, is around 1000 € :o:bangin:

Here are a few shots..., let me know your thoughts, if you like. ;)

What's the standard cyclops size that comes on the rep, what is it 4mm?

7 is a lot better than 4, so if it's between getting a new one that's just a WEE bit too big, and keeping one that's really too small, I'll probably go too big.

(he heh. that's what SHE said)

this is why i am extremely careful and pull the whole stack at once to prevent scratches.

Pulling the whole stack at once is not a standard practice, and there is a real risk of damaging the movement by pulling more than one hand at a time.

Standard practice is to remove each hand in turn, if done correctly, there is no risk of scratches to the hands, there is a real risk of damage to the movement caused by the stress of removing all 4 hands at once.

Simply hacking the movement at 12, and then installing the hands at 12 again, is not a realiable way to do any watch, especially a GMT model. You need to take more steps to ensure that the GMT hand lines up with the main ones, it's not a static installation but a dynamic one. There are many things to consider when installing hands, gear train, spacing etc...but that is all covered in basic watchmaking courses.

I must say I have noticed that the GMT hand does not line up precisely with the main time. It seems to be just about 10-15 minutes ahead. In other words, it the main time is 12:00, and the GMT time is set for three hours ahead, the GMT is not lined up on the hour marker.
