plaifender Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 So I just got my first order in from Silix Prime. After a highly stressful month of delays concerning Qaulity Control and Chinese customs my watches arrived yesterday. I ordered a Rolex Yachtmaster Rolesium and Pam 253. The Pam is absolutely amazing, feels great and looks better. The only thing i've noticed not up to par on this watch is the 4 o'clock chrono pusher. It sticks when pushed. I can pull it out after it being pushed, but it appears to be an lubrication problem of some sort. Anyone had similar experiences with chrono pannies running seconds at 9? What can I do to stop this chrono pusher from sticking?? Anyways, i took some quick shots yesterday with my camera. I know the photos aren't up to par but when i get a better camera i'll try some really cool shots like i've seen around here. Enjoy the pics: the WRIST shot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolli Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 yes i had the same problem with the pusher on 2 o'clock. the crown-guard is this problem. you have to rework the notch for the pusher. rolli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 In what way is the dial 'updated' from previous 253 which has been out for a little while now? Oh and your photos ('cept one) are not working.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted June 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 anyone know why i can't edit my own post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Nice watch, i think the edit button is a VIP only funtion, upgrade it is worth it. Is that the new 7750 with 28.8k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shultzie Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 In what way is the dial 'updated' from previous 253 which has been out for a little while now? two versions - 1) has thicker font on 6 & 12 which is truer to the gen. But it doesn't have the smaller tickmarks on the dial. 2) pictured here - all the right markers round the dial, but 6 & 12 are too thin.

The watch is a NEW purchase for me, but this version has been available for a while. I was just trying to distinguish which exact version i purchased for all those that might have been wondering. It's the newest "updated" dial face version with mineral crystal and thinner number font. My watch is running +5secs/day which isn't bad at all for me. Here are some pics that should work: profile shot: beauty personified: THE WRIST SHOT: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I rework the notch for the pusher? I'm not an horologist.. but is this a job that my local service shop here in Madrid can do? The sticking of the pusher is quite annoying.
