kye_lin Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) Hi One of my mates in studying in France has managed to get hold of an original PAM OP IX power reserve movement. He does not know what to do with it and will be selling it to me. I will only buy it if it is of use... Can it replace the Asian 21J movement in the PAM reps?? e.g. PAM222 regata. Will the windows of the PAM rep dial fit the movement?? Also, can I replace the rep case with one without the date pusher recess at 7 o'clock?? Where can I get this case?? How will I adjust the date with the original PAM movement?? The OP IX is the power reserve variant of the OP III. It is still based on automatic Valjoux 7750-P1 and features 13 1/4 lignes size 21 jewels Panerai personalisation on the bridges and rotor Glucydur balance 28,800 VPH Incabloc shock protection 42 hours power reserve Its characteristic signature marks are small seconds at 9 and a date at 3, and a power reserve indicator at 4. Thanks for all the help and info. U guys have a great and fruitful new year... Man!! I love this forum. Take care.

kye_lin Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hi He got it cheap... dunno how... but he is selling it to me for USD700.... Not sure if I will take the plunge as I am not sure if it will work with the reps... no point getting all the parts and find out that they won't fit... any ideas anyone??

slay Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 if you dont want it, I'll gladly take it for 700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) it will not works on rep if the rep has asia 7750 it could work, because similar size but valjoux 7750 power reserve and asia 21j movement are totaly different. Also you need new dial and hands set... Edited December 30, 2006 by tourbillon1801 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
