watchpt Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hey guys, I just got my pam 196 which has the 7753 movement water tested and it passed at 99ft. He didn't test any deeper but said I didn't need it and didn't think I was going to go diving with it He tested it right in front of me in a bergeon(?) water pressure tester. It was pretty cool. In any case, it was water resistant without any mods and the seals were in good shape and nicely greased. I didn't think the chronograph models were water resistant but I was pleasantly wrong. By the way, I have the older pam 196 with 7753 from River. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchpt Posted April 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 I don't think so. I bought the watch in January from River. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronus Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 As far as I know, the old case version was manufactured by a different factory that has now stopped making these. The new factory that manufactures these now have the "new" case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new factory that manufactures these now have the "new" case. That's basically correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
