bosk Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 After seeing Tourby's PAM skeletons, I decided to try it myself with some spare parts. My IWC skeleton was not getting much wrist time due to lack a decent strap so I took out the movement and placed it a spare 111 case with spare superlumed hands. I probably need to re-do the hands and paint the subdial hand black. -bosk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubus Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 nice idea, a pam with second hand at 6 is brilliant one, so different from others but sure youve to paint its edges black for the complete look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 yeah, i like the seconds at 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Very cool! Reminds me of the Ugly Duckling on Paneristi... Out of curiosity- What's holding the hour pinion in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Out of curiosity- What's holding the hour pinion in place? I was curious about this myself,,,,it can be pretty tricky to get the hands right. If you turn it over, you might find that the hour hand will come loose since nothing is holding down the hour wheel. Looks very cool, Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the movement is from an IWC skeleton, the hour wheel must have some modification to be attached. I have no idea how they did it but it is securely on. Tourbillion would probably know since he works with these movements on a regular basis. One of the gears that the crown tube goes thru did drop out when I turned the watch upside down and its secure once the tube is inserted. The watch seems to be working perfectly now. -bosk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Well, a very original and bold project. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 this asia skeleton movements has little different hand size if you will use a unitas hands you must use the small rubber ring which is on the regular hands. If you dont fix this plastic ring inside of the hour hand... the hands will not work correct. No more problems... looks nice. But i would blued the screws, blued the winding gears and blued the winding part on front... this would look more valuable... like this movement here http://s163.photobucket.com/albums/t320/to...%20blue%20love/ BTW, it was not my idea to build a skeleton Panerai... the father of this project is chris5264. >He is the man!!!
