Watchmeister Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Just got my 29 back with original crown back from Ziggy so I figured I would post some shots of it with its twin - 63. Many mods but the principal differences are palp crown and gen hands on the 63 and gen crown on the 29. Both have Jimmy CG. 29: 63: Group Photos: Inverted: Sideview: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Beautiful watches Warren... Nice comparison.. Well as I was always saying, the palp crowns look so bad compared to the genuine... I was always saying that they are too thick and close to the case and with bad inside bevel that you should trim the lever... And for the price and trouble to get them...

Watchmeister Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 V- Really not trying to cast aspersions on Palp crown. They are very well made and in fact I just bought a couple of extra. In truth it is not fair because knowing what I know now I would never use a Palp crown with a Jimmy CG. They look good with the deeper CG's you find on say the 24A rep or others. If Palp/PAM ever get around to doing a proper 1.9 or 2.0 that would be fabulous. I do hope the group buy works out on the gen crowns. I heard from one forum member the seller is now asking well over $100 individually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Thanks. I finally read the instruction book on the point and shoot. If I ever get the nerve to open the instruction book on the D-80, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAMman Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Excellent. I particularly like the 029. I hope to get one of the gen crowns as part of the group buy and I'll use it ion my 029 nstead of the Palp crown that's not fitted yet.

ubiquitous Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Gorgeous pair of PAMs, W! Quite possibly the best 29 and 63 combo I've ever seen! Can we get a full break down of mods done to those bad boys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Looking good Warren. Hope to have my 063 looking this good soon - as soon as I get my @$%*&^ Palp crowns or the group buy genuines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Ubi- Wait until you see the vintage set. I am loving that 45mm. I am still deciding whether to transpose the Palp Crown onto my 24 which has a thinner crown guard and replace with gen. It would require another CG though as the lip is much deeper on the gen crown. In terms of Mods: Both have relume, Jimmy CG's, Watchmen cyclops and Lello datewheels. 29 has gen crown and 63 has Palp crown and gen hands.

dadog13 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Beautiful watches Warren... Nice comparison.. Well as I was always saying, the palp crowns look so bad compared to the genuine... I was always saying that they are too thick and close to the case and with bad inside bevel that you should trim the lever... And for the price and trouble to get them... I still prefer the thick look of the Palp crowns...even if they are too thick compared to the gens... in fact, I would do a mod on the gen if I had one...I'd put a palp crown on! ...palp crown (2,1mm) matches better the look of a BIG watch that Panerai is...
