lello Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) 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! Mods made: - Genuine tritium hands set (from Adam-co) - 1:1 crown that I further polished (from Palp) - Correct datewheel (from Lello) - 1,8x sapphire 6mm cyclops, as for gen. (from Sssurfer) - Dial re lume - Genuine alligator strap (from Panerai Firenze boutique) The total cost, included the rep price, is over 1000 € Here are a few shots..., let me know your thoughts, if you like.

ProZac Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Fantastic rep! It looks like it is worth every penny. I guess the feeling is even better when you have something customized like this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lello Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Yes, you can bet!..., the feeling it's really great. Owning a genuine I think can give you something different than this, but I wouldn't swear which is better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket754 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 why o why did I sale my 063. very impressive Lello.... I think I will buy another one. I guess there hasn't been enough demand for the 063 for the manufactures to come out with a 2nd imporved version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzanooo Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) Very very nice. Did the 063 come originally with ar? I have read many times it had-not. Edited December 20, 2006 by pizzanooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lello Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Yes..., I also heard it could come without AR..., I was just talking about this with Chieftang... But is there a way to make sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 It's very difficult to say, but I'm guessing there is no AR. Others have said no AR in the past. Also, I do believe the Palp crown to be too thick for this model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket754 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 hmmm..the palp crown my be just right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 A stunner, Lello, congrats!!! Gen-like at a fraction of its cost! Watch knowledge and RWG skills at their best. I have to say that the super-cyclops works much better on your 063 than on my 028A. I suppose that is because the 063 reahaut fits very well with the new cyclops, or because the additional lens on the 028 date window makes the magnification almost excessive (or both). Glad also to see that deployant clasp on your strap. Looking at your strap now I understand why you found no reason to leave the small clasp tubes out: your strap is a different thickness than mine. Should you find the palp crown a little too thick, you may always swap back to a Lello's crown... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 It really does look great. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lello Posted December 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I really don't think the Palp crown could be wrong here. Perhaps there might have been some differences on crown thickness on the 063 productions, but there are surely some that have thick crowns. Here is another pic of a gen.

ajoesmith Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Guys is it just me or has no one pointed out that the serial number on our beloved PAM 63's is wrong??

sssurfer Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Here's another source asserting that 063 is C series only: http://www.lacotedesmontres.com/Production-No_128.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lello Posted December 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 ..., Ok then, how can we solve this matter? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow...it looks like the Watchmen cyclops (accidentally) duplicates the OEM 63's mag 1:1. @ssurfer: I think the extra cyclops can be removed if my 222 is any indication...minbe popped right out w a TINY bit of paint stripper applied to the back. I can make no guarantees about paint damage though...my smith may have gotten lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sssurfer Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Wow...it looks like the Watchmen cyclops (accidentally) duplicates the OEM 63's mag 1:1. 'Accidentally'! We all worked hard night and day to achieve that result!... @ssurfer: I think the extra cyclops can be removed if my 222 is any indication...minbe popped right out w a TINY bit of paint stripper applied to the back. I can make no guarantees about paint damage though...my smith may have gotten lucky. Thanks for the hint, John. I'm just scared by the chance to ruin something. I recently removed the watchmen cyclops from my 028 and replaced it with a prototype of my new cyclopses (one with 12mm FL, not those 10mm FL you are well aware of ), and I have to say that I got a better result this way. So maybe that 10mm FL, and/or the new Finepic's datewheel, are ok even without removing the small lens. I'll give them a try as soon as they will arrive.
