evildee Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Oh, the horror! You forgot to flat top the cannon pinion! Very nice work. Those watches looks so good. Did you use C1 lume? Can you give more info on the crown? I want to replace mine ASAP. Thanks.

Thanks. flat top?? i used white/C3 mix. mostly white. crown is from the 036. i got a spare. it's really fat! had to shave a small bit off the lever but it fit very easy.

Flat topping: you just file the pointy tip down. The GENs are like that. I used a finger nail file to file it down then buffed it out. Put the file flat on the table hold the cannon pin upside down with tweezers and run it over the file. Do the same for buffing. So the 036 crown fits? WOW! I read that it did not fit cuz of the tube. Now I gotta get one for mine. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info! i was actually checking that out 2 days ago at the AD. the gens seem to just have standard ETA pinions. not flat or polished or anything. can you show some pics otherwise? your pic it's rounded (can tell by the light reflection) if they really are flat...i guess i have 8 manual pams to tear back down... i don't think they do though. where did you see this? i'd like to know for sure. i swear they are not flat... i've been wrong before though.
evildee Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) Here's a pic of a GEN. Edited January 17, 2007 by evildee
flavor flav Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Posted January 17, 2007 Here's a pic of a GEN. ahhh....i see now. my thoughts... you will almost need a loupe to notice this. (i needed a 4x loupe to see) i cannot see it with my naked eye... if you use a loupe, you will catch the dial fonts are wrong and hell, if someone knows the cannon should be flat, they will know the watch is a rep. movement, CG, quality, ect..... i'll do it from this point forward but it's not worth redoing my others IMO.
V Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 My genuine 112 I series has NOT flat cannon pinion.... Standard ETA
vaccum Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 My genuine 112 I series has NOT flat cannon pinion.... Standard ETA What about the other gen pannies....

Pugwash Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Nice work. It makes me want a new PAM.
namor Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Congrats, well done ! I am wondering since I first saw the 036 why they can make the crown nice and fat - and on most other PAMs they're just slim and bad...

I am wondering since I first saw the 036 why they can make the crown nice and fat - and on most other PAMs they're just slim and bad... josh informed me it's made at another factory. the AR coat reflects four different colors! best i've seen. crowngaurd is better too. it's a classic. i love the brown dial with the brown gator strap. it's a perfect match.
flavor flav Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 Nice work. It makes me want a new PAM. please please get a new pam so we can enjoy your pics! my pics suck..... if you were in the USA i would send you my pams for a photo shoot A
