baltic Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 The 196 was one of the first watches that attracted me to PAMs and I bought a 7750 version (old case) as one of my first reps. However I knew I should have got a 7753 as I like to have watches with the correct movements wherever possible and so my first 196 went to a new home. Fast forward a few years and the itch for a 196 came on again strong. I noticed that one of the stalwart members (I'll not mention him unless he doesn't mind featuring) of this community had a 7753 196 in his collection. So as me Nana always said 'shy bairns get nowt' I sent a cheeky PM asking if he ever wanted to part with it to let me know. Following some busy PM conversations we agreed on a deal and it was mine! Next step off to the Zigg meister for some Lume action. Thanks again The Zigmeister for a flawless transaction and another top quality piece of work, you're a credit to this board. This lovely piece returned this week and I fitted some new shoes, a BOB XL black 24x24 croc with brushed Pre-V buckle. Here's some very rough and ready photies - apologies for their roughness as I don't have any editing software on this laptop (or much ability ), I'll upgrade them when I get a chance. Firstly the obligatory wrist shot: next: Lume: Amongst friends: All glow together: L-R Back Row 127 from EL, pin fix and lumed with DS hands, 183 from PT pin fix and lumed, the 196, 111 from Josh pin fix and lume L_R Front Row Gen Omega Speedy Pro, Sekonda (made in USSR my first 'proper wind up watch' I got for my 18th too many years ago), JleC Master Control, uPO from PT lumed
Watchmeister Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 Still one of m favorite PAM's. It is a great piece and the lume makes a huge difference. Enjoy it and wear it well.
RWG Technical Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 One of my all time favorite watches...with that 7753 in the case, it's a keeper. Great collection as well, enjoy. RG
shultz Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 Congrats! I am a proud owner of a "The Zigmeisterfied" 196 (7753) as well. A great keeper as you said, Rob
baltic Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Posted June 19, 2007 Thanks for the comments and compliments folks and thanks for your work The Zigmeister
marsupilami Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 aaaaaaargh... stupid me sent 196 case& crystal to finepics. you are killing me guys. what can I do now with 7753 movement without case ?
RWG Technical Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 what can I do now with 7753 movement without case ? Sell it to Kruzer00, his 7753 was destroyed by finepics due to a faulty installation, and you can't buy 7753 spare parts. RG
RWG Technical Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 I certainly would be up for that. Shouldn't you be sunning yourself just about now? RG
marsupilami Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 kruzer00 should sell his case to me! The only pam I really love. Fortunately I have one asia 196 left. maybe I can use that case. anyways. finepics is on my scammer list right after luckyyy. remember: you always meet twice
RWG Technical Posted June 20, 2007 Report Posted June 20, 2007 kruzer00 should sell his case to me! Good point, I never thought of this... RG
