Markus Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 The 2.1 looks sweet, will it fit a 7753 196? I haven't a clue about this kinda thing so forgive my ignorance if it has been mentioned before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 If there is going to be an issue it will be with the 2893 as it has three settings off the case (wind, set gmt/date, set time). The 7753 uses the quickset date function on the side of the case so it has only two stops (wind, set time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Actually. I made request to PAM via PM last week and never heard anything back as to price to returning customers or Paypal info. I am looking for 2 of each (2.0 and 2.1) for the automatics. I guess I am in the second batch at this point. Let me know when you return. Safe travels.

premiumdesigners Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Thanks Palp, got mine today. They look great, but unfortunetly won't fit my 111h without some modding. The crown top depth is not as deep as the rep, so the latch won't close. The watchmaker made the stem as short as possible, but no dice. He's grinding the level down where the lever meets the crown top. Anyone else having this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's grinding the level down where the lever meets the crown top. Anyone else having this problem? yes this is correct. you have to file down the tip of the lever a bit to make it to close tightly. that was intended (the back of the crown is not too recessed like on the earlier versions) , otherwise there would be too many mambers who would have had problems to close the lever (see the other thread and review of The Zigmeister). therefore and to make sure that everyone can install these crowns on their PAMs, the back is not too deeply recessed. i installed many crowns now without a problem, here is a quick guide how i make this: -just make sure you get the crown close enough to the case, not flush but correct distance, (rep crown is too far away from the case). on the gens, you can seea tiny bit of the crown tube when you look at it from the front. you do this by shortening the stem a tiny bit (do not shorten it too much!) rather make multiple steps and testfits to get the correct length of the stem -then file down the lever a bit at the tip (round), testfit it with screws of the cg installed and if it still doesnt close, take it off, file again etc etc.... its quite easy, only takes some time/steps to adjust it right then you will have a lever that closes nice and snugly!
