pitimany Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hi, I got this nice angelus mov, cal 190. It needs a good clean up and oil, but it is working a keeping time. Can I use this move in a pam 203 8 days?, if so any ideas what case and who can help ? I recognize that I have limited knowledge about vintage pams. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cucumber_Jones Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 It is my opinion that this is too big to put in a panerai case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravishingrick Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 This movement is incorrect for the vintage Panerai's, the correct movement for the PAM 203 and other Angelus based legacy Panerai's is the Cal240 (no alarm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcsherry Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 You've got a cal.190 movement, which is 22 lignes (49mm) as opposed to the cal.240 which is 16 lignes (36mm). The 49mm movement won't fit in a 47mm case, so maybe it's best left as a clock. If you fancy a project, you could always make up a custom dial to have a look-a-like 40's Panerai military clock?! Maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I can answer this one by experience--I bought the same thing @ a flea market for 10 bucks thinking I had just scored the deal of the Century, but when I brought it and a fiddy case to my smith he just laughed and shook his head and said "Go buy a real one. Cheaper." BTW all was not lost--I bought a 31 jewel El Primero for the same price. Apparently it needs $360 in parts and labor to get to godod as new....$370 for an El Primero may not be the deal of the century but it is the deal of the week.

pitimany Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I sure you get better deals than me. 10 for this and 370 for el primero .
