a german in denmark Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I have had my Pam 092 Arktos Ultimate for some time now. Though it has advantages over the old model, it also has flaws (terrible CG, flimsy bezel...). Here's what I did: CG from the old Arktos onto the new (had to swap levers) and (best of all) got rid of the rubber strap and mounted a BOB gator. The strap was originally tobacco brown, I dyed it black. What a difference. Quick wrist:: Light Box: What think you? Cheers. PS.: there's still the flimsy bezel, what can I do?

DuDro Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 One of my favorite dive watches too! I've been contemplating on how I can fix the bezel so that it's not loose. I think it's been tried before, but I can't find the thread. Please share any "tips and tricks" on this bezel fix if you have any...Thanks!

Victoria Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I love that you LOVE your Arktos! It's great to fall in love with a watch, coup de foudre or slowly. As for DYEING your strap, wow. I once tried to follow Sssurfer's excellent tips on dyeing PAM strap threads here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=9148&hl= And I used a pricey Dirk Nubuck. Ay! I had to stop. Turned out horribly. What a dunce. How I wish I had your skills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijor Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Arktos - It is a watch with a great presence. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estaban Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 The 092 is one of my faves. I wore mine almost daily for over a year. Surprisingly works with a lot of different straps. The only thing loose on my Arktos was the bezel. I think they all suffer from that. I wonder why the Arktos has this problem but my 187 clicks like a gen.
