kidcreole Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Folks I'm hoping to do a lume job on my PAM512P V6F. I tried to get to the dial from the back, alas it seems I have to through the front and remove the bezel. Withstanding getting my hands on a bezel remover or losing my fingers to an errant blade does anyone have any tips or pointers to achieve this?Many thanks in anticipation!

kidcreole Posted November 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I ended up doing the job with these. With a bit of tape to protect the case the bezel came off surprisingly easy. Just a few taps on each corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteM Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Its defo not front loading mateYou have 3 screws holding movement to the movement holder ring..You probably wont get the dial out by taking the bezel off without doing some damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcreole Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 My case has a lip on the backside that the dial sits on. There's no way to get the dial out the back. You could remove the movement and holder but the lip would stop the dial coming through. You can hopefully see from the pic with the bezel removed the lip I'm talking about. Front of case pictured.

kidcreole Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 My first proper lume job is so far a success. One hour in and the luminosity is gen like. Hopefully I can get everything back in the case and operational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 It's a front loader. No question about it. Have one on my bench currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelliottz Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Do you have any pictures of the watch in pieces? I'm going to be taking one apart shortly. Would love to see everything before having at it. Thanks! Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
