vaccum Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 I received a pam127 to do some mods (relume, cannon pinion, hands, crystal replacement, etc) So I took my caseback opener tool to remove the caseback, then I noticed that it was not flat to the case , something is not right here. So I decided to pry it off with my nails and guess what...it came off easily...I was shoked Then I took a look at the case and found this....no threads at all In order to close the caseback, which is threaded...don't ask me why, you just press it with your thumbs. Dont even think about water proof Here is my fiddy case to show the threads at the case Both cases side by side Are this watches getting better...... Thanks for watching, vaccum
namor Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Now talk about Quality Control... But honestly I guess this is a single phenomen, nothing to be really afraid of...
FxrAndy Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Were there threads on the case back, or is this a new cheep press on back and case??
vaccum Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 Wow................do you think it will hold out over time? Wonder who sold it? The purpose of this type of post is to show you what we get to work on, NO TO POINT OUT ANY DEALER NOR MEMBER NAMES that is non of my business I will report what I see just to colaborate with this forum. Cheers, vaccum
vaccum Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 Wow................do you think it will hold out over time? Wonder who sold it? Sorry, I forgot to answer your ?. I can't tell 100% for sure if it will hold or not, what I know is that you can press the case back with your thumbs without a lot of pressure.
RWG Technical Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Well I thought I had seen it all, guess not... RG
Logan Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Looks like the threads just got missed and the assembler used the bad case anyway.. perils of back room hand made production I guess..
dluddy Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Ah, yes.... That must be the new "Quick Mod" case
sssurfer Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 Man! Thanks God, as the caseback was threaded I think it is just a defective, flawed case -- not a first exemplar of a new type of case & caseback.

flavor flav Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 ummmmm........i'd ask the dealer for a new case. but thats just me :black_eye: unbelievable. if it were done like the crystal mounts it should be watertight but threads on the caseback it's obviously a dud!
